When you are stuck in the cycle of addiction, it is hard to know where to turn. Our mission is to get people back on the right track by giving patients and their families resources that help them know how to end their addiction to drugs or alcohol. While making the decision to stop abusing drugs or alcohol is a critical first step toward improving your life, it is also essential to understand how addiction impacts your body so that you can overcome challenges that could interfere with your recovery. As you prepare to take the next step, here is what you can expect throughout the process of getting treatment for your addiction.

What Are the Underlying Causes of Addiction?

People often lump addictions under the same category. However, addiction is different for everyone. While people may binge drink after a stressful day at work, another person may be unable to stop using prescription painkillers long after their injury has healed. Treatment for someone who has dealt with addiction for many years may need intensive inpatient treatment while someone who is just starting to struggle with the early stages of alcohol abuse may be able to work through an outpatient program. Some drugs also cause the body to develop a dependency that makes quitting without help difficult and even dangerous. This is why a person who is addicted may not just be able to quit like everyone asks them to do. For example, abruptly quitting heroin or alcohol can generate severe withdrawal symptoms that sometimes require hospitalization. This is why many treatment programs use an intake assessment to determine what types of drugs a person is abusing along with how much and for how long.

Coexisting Issues That Influence Addiction

Addiction can also have different underlying causes that must be identified and addressed. Learning about the reasons why a person abuses drugs or alcohol is critical for creating a treatment plan that includes strategies for finding positive ways to deal with the reasons. It is typical for a person first to start abusing drugs or alcohol to mask the symptoms of other mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. The guilt, shame, and frustration of dealing with addiction for many years also affect a person’s self-confidence, and negative emotions contribute to the cycle of dependency. The worst part about this is that using drugs and alcohol tends to make other coexisting issues worse. For this reason, we aim to help you learn healthier coping methods that address underlying problems such as ADHD, PTSD, and depression.

Treatment Methods That Take a More Personal Approach to Addiction Recovery

The many factors that influence why and how a person abuses drugs or alcohol mean that it is necessary to use treatment methods that are tailored to fit each person’s individual needs. We can help you create an individualized treatment plan that includes options such as group therapy, medication-assisted recovery, counseling and full-time programs.

Pathways to Long-Term Recovery

Completing treatment never means that the journey is over. You or your loved one will need continuing support that reinforces the lessons that were learned during the first phase of treatment. Whether you are planning your complete treatment plan or need help overcoming the possibility of relapse years into sobriety, we are here to help connect you to options for long-term support such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous or sober housing. Including a personalized relapse prevention program in your strategies helps you meet others who understand what you are going through while giving you further insight into how to manage triggers and cravings outside of your treatment program’s walls.

Steps To Recovery

1.

Addiction Intervention

This part of treatment typically involves close family and friends, and it occurs before the person struggling with addiction seeks help. You might have seen an intervention on a television show or movie where the family tries to get their loved one to see the damaging effects that substance abuse has on everyone. Since staging an intervention is daunting, we often refer families to counselors that provide strategies for planning and executing a conversation that is supportive to the person dealing with addiction.

2.

Alcohol & Drug Detox

This is simply the process by which your body clears the chemicals from your body and learns to live without drugs or alcohol. Depending upon your body’s response, this process can be uncomfortable and require professional support. Alternatively, you might pass through detox with mostly psychological cravings. Once you have completed the detox process, you will then be ready to explore the next level of treatment options.

3.

Inpatient Alcohol & Drug Rehab

Stepping away from your everyday stressors and negative influences are often necessary when you are fully embroiled in dependence. At an inpatient rehab, you can expect to stay overnight for a period while you participate in group and individual counseling that addresses your underlying reasons for abusing drugs. You will also learn how to fill your free time with wholesome activities such as journaling and art so that you will be more likely to avoid relapse after you leave the program. Inpatient drug and alcohol rehab also helps to heal the physical toll that drug abuse has taken on your body by providing you with a healthy diet and exercise program that kick starts your road to recovery.

4.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

It is not always possible or necessary for a person to stay overnight in their treatment program. Students, adults with careers and parents may feel the need to seek treatment while continuing their regular daily routine. These programs tend to be less intensive, and they may not be able to address serious underlying issues such as schizophrenia so they may not be right for everyone. They tend to be less expensive than intensely supervised programs, and the transition out of treatment is easier since you have been living your normal life all along.
