Acknowledging that you are struggling with an addiction to drugs or alcohol is a crucial step in getting your life back on track. The second step is finding the best Gilbert addiction treatment for yourself and your individual needs. With so many options to consider, choosing the right addition clinic can feel overwhelming.
Before you begin to worry or delay going to addiction treatment altogether, read this article to find answers to some of the most common questions asked by individuals looking for help with addiction. Hopefully, this guide will help you narrow down your options and start your recovery.
Addiction treatment is a wide variety of programs intended to help people of all ages stop compulsively seeking and abusing substances such as drugs and alcohol. Drug treatment centers provide various types of treatment, allowing individuals to find the one that best meets their needs in both a short term detox phase and through a longer recovery period.
Detox:
Individuals who are physically dependent on drugs or alcohol will need to go through a detox as part of their addiction therapy. This helps the body to stabilize and break physical dependency on the substance.
Inpatient Treatment:
For people who need support and care around the clock, residential treatment is necessary. During this time, individuals work through addiction counseling to begin to address their mental and emotional dependence on substances, find the root of their addiction, learn to identify, manage triggers, and develop tools to prevent relapse.
Outpatient Treatment:
This type of treatment is for clients who want a flexible schedule for their addiction treatment or who have graduated from residential treatment. Outpatient services allow individuals to maintain personal relationships, prepare for employment or continue employment, and rebuild their lives while continuing with the accountability of a therapist and treatment program.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT):
Individuals who are dealing with opioid or alcohol addiction and need substantial help managing withdrawal symptoms may benefit significantly from MAT. In some cases, medication assisted treatment with a suboxone doctor can be life-saving.
Addiction therapy can take place in a variety of settings. Because addiction is a chronic disease, many individuals need long term treatment and addiction counseling to help them stay on track after their initial treatments.
Most people begin their treatment with detox. During the detoxification process, the body eliminates toxic substances and goes through a withdrawal period. Detox can be uncomfortable or rarely, life-threatening. While many people opt to detox at home with a friend or family member, a medically-monitored detox at a drug treatment center can help ease this phase and set you up for a successful long-term treatment. In some cases, a suboxone doctor will prescribe medications to help reduce cravings and symptoms of withdrawal. Once the body has stabilized after a detox, the client begins inpatient or outpatient addiction treatment.
Inpatient treatment typically includes education, individual and group addiction counseling. It provides a safe environment away from negative influences and a supportive network of peers and professionals to help you in your goal of recovery.
Generally, outpatient treatment includes individual and group counseling with access to professionals at your drug treatment center. Length and frequently of the sessions will vary depending on the situation. Outpatient treatment provides a flexible schedule of appointments and enables you to continue living at home and often keep working.
Both inpatient and outpatient addiction treatments are effective; your needs will determine which is better for your situation.
Inpatient programs at addiction treatment centers are usually best for patients who have multiple addictions or diagnoses, or who have relapsed after prior treatment.
Outpatient programs offer shorter or longer addition counseling sessions at designated times and may be a preferable option for someone with a strong support system or who has less severe dependence.
Each person’s situation is different, and so is the amount of time they need for treatment. A 30 day inpatient program is standard as the minimum recommended addiction treatment program. However, some people benefit from 60-90 day or longer programs depending upon their needs.
Addiction is a chronic disease without a cure, but can be managed. Chemical dependency to drugs or alcohol is permanent and even individuals who are doing well in their addiction treatment should not use substances again. This is why people who have gone through addiction therapy say they are “in recovery” rather than “recovered” because they are working through a lifelong commitment to stay clean.
Some people seeking a Gilbert drug treatment center or wellness clinic want to travel away from home to avoid environmental influences. While this can be helpful for some, others may prefer to stay closer to home for the sake of their life or relationship commitments. If you opt for an outpatient program, it is helpful to choose a convenient location close to home as a long drive may make it difficult for you to stick with your addiction therapy program.
A search engine can provide many local options. Check a government site or hospital for addiction counseling recommendations. Consider a program that is accredited for a higher standard of care. You’ll want to consider what services are available to meet your needs, such as family counseling to help heal relationships or medication-assisted treatment with a suboxone doctor for severe withdrawal.
