A facility dedicated to helping individuals overcome substance abuse or behavioral addictions through a combination of therapies, counseling, and support.
The initial stage of addiction treatment where the body rids itself of the addictive substance. Medical detoxification is often supervised by healthcare professionals to manage withdrawal symptoms safely.
A key component of addiction treatment, therapy aims to address underlying psychological issues contributing to addiction. Therapeutic modalities may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing.
Individual and group counseling sessions are conducted by licensed counselors or therapists to help individuals understand the root causes of their addiction, develop coping strategies, and learn relapse prevention skills.
Some addiction treatment centers offer MAT, which involves the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. Common medications include methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone.
Many individuals with addiction disorders also have co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both substance abuse and mental health issues simultaneously.
Addiction treatment centers typically provide aftercare planning to support individuals as they transition back to their daily lives after completing a program. This may include referrals to outpatient therapy, sober living housing, or support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Addiction doesn’t just affect the individual struggling with substance abuse; it impacts their loved ones as well. Family therapy sessions help families understand addiction as a disease, improve communication, and rebuild relationships.
Some addiction treatment centers offer holistic therapies such as yoga, meditation, acupuncture, and art therapy to complement traditional treatment approaches. These therapies focus on promoting overall well-being and stress reduction.
Addiction is a chronic condition, and relapse is a common risk. Addiction treatment centers teach clients relapse prevention strategies to identify triggers, cope with cravings, and avoid situations that may lead to relapse, empowering individuals to maintain long-term sobriety.
