An Intervention Can Help

If you have a close friend or family member who is addicted to drugs, but is in denial or refuses to seek treatment, staging an intervention with the help of a professional interventionist can help. Guided interventions have a 90 percent success rate for getting the loved one to agree to enter rehab.

An intervention involves educating friends and family about the issues of addiction and facilitating the meeting, during which select members explain to the loved one how the addiction has affected them. The loved one is offered the opportunity to enter treatment right away.

What Does a Drug Treatment Center Offer?

Medical detox is the first phase of drug treatment, and it must be conducted through a comprehensive drug treatment program. Detox is the process of removing traces of a substance from the body to break a physical addiction. Medical detox is supervised by physicians who administer medications to alleviate the withdrawal symptoms associated with discontinuing drug use.

After detox, various psychotherapies are utilized to address the complex mental issues behind the addiction, which may include a history of sexual or physical abuse or co-occurring mental illnesses as well as false beliefs, unhealthy patterns of thinking, and destructive attitudes.

Once treatment is complete, an individualized aftercare plan is implemented to help the patient maintain the motivation and accountability required for continued sobriety.

Types of Addictions Treated

Drug addiction takes many forms, and rehab is designed to address a variety of addictions.

Prescription drugs include the three major groups of addictive prescription drugs:

Opiate painkillers like Fentanyl, Vicodin, and OxyContin.
Sedatives like Klonopin, Xanax, and Valium.
Stimulants like Adderall, Ritalin, and Dexedrine.

Street drugs, or illegal drugs, include:

Stimulants like cocaine and meth.
Club drugs like ecstasy.
Opiates like heroin.
Hallucinogens like marijuana and LSD.

Alcohol is also considered a drug and can lead to alcohol abuse and addiction

Regardless of the type of drug the patient is addicted to, various treatment therapies will be employed to address the psychological aspects of the addiction once detox is complete. These will include cognitive-behavioral therapy to help patients become more self-aware of their beliefs, attitudes, and thoughts surrounding the addiction and motivational interviewing to help them identify their own internal motivation for wanting to recover from the addiction.
