SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT OPTIONS

When substance abuse becomes severe, someone can voluntarily seek help to stop. In other cases, there could be family or Court intervention, which could force the individual into treatment.

The treatment is more likely to succeed if someone chooses to do it themselves. It will come from the realization that the substance has become problematic and is affecting the quality of their life. An addict is not able to function well in all aspects of his or her life, whether at home, school, work, or any other area requiring social interaction.

Treatment and recovery is a lifelong process, and that is why you may find someone who knows the exact amount of time they have been sober. Many times you will hear an ex-addict say they have been sober for ten years, ten months, ten days, and 10 hours. Every day for an ex-addict is one that they can relapse, and that is why every day of sobriety is an achievement.

The type of treatment will depend on the individual’s requirements. The experts will go for the best option after a careful evaluation.

Some of the treatment options available include:

Detox

Usually it involves the use of medication to reduce the negative effects of the withdrawals. Things to expect during withdrawal may include;

Residential Inpatient

Treatment Options For Addiction

Alcoholism

Alcoholism is silently on the rise in America. While all eyes have been on the opioid epidemic, rates of alcoholism have nearly tripled. The good news is that there is hope in sobriety.

Opioids

On average, almost 200 people die every day from a drug-related overdose. Many of these deaths involve opioids, a powerful class of narcotic painkillers that lead many of its users down a dangerous path of destruction.

Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines, or benzos for short, are sedative medications that are used to treat anxiety that is highly addictive. In recent years, benzos have played an increasing role in many of the accidental overdoses that occur daily.
