At Sunshine Behavioral Health our goal is to help as many people as possible in their struggles with substance abuse.
The first line of treatment for most substance use disorders is detox, which is the process of removing the toxins caused by substance addiction. This can involve using other prescription medications to dampen the effects of drugs and alcohol. Or, it may involve tapering off the drug dosages over a specific period.
It’s highly advised to do a detox under the supervision of medical professionals, as do-it-yourself detoxes can be dangerous and potentially fatal. Quitting cold turkey is not advisable.
After getting rid of withdrawal symptoms via detox, patients can proceed to therapeutic approaches to overcome their addiction. The goal of these treatments is to:
There are a variety of treatment approaches to take depending on the individual. Some prefer spiritual treatment, like 12-Step Rehab, while others prefer a secular approach, such as Non-12 Step or Holistic methods. Finally, some combine these treatment methods to discover what best suits their needs.
Follow-up after intensive rehab is almost always necessary. People often get used to the structure provided by a rehab facility and face difficulties adjusting to the “real world.” High-quality rehab centers have aftercare programs in place to help with this transition. These can include fitness plans, relapse prevention guides, continued therapy and support groups to help maintain a patient’s sobriety.
You may have arrived at this page wondering if you or a loved one is suffering from addiction. Have you or they crossed the line between misuse and abuse into a full-blown addiction? It’s time to stop worrying and start acting.
Don’t let addiction define you or a loved one. Instead, get the needed help and leave addiction in the past.
A substance use disorder evaluation can help determine the severity of substance use disorder disorder in a particular individual and therefore how much it has affected his body… They help the rehab center team determine which treatment programs could increase the client’s chances of successful recovery.
When a person is addicted to drugs or alcohol, it can seem nearly impossible to convince them to seek help. Staging an intervention is often a last resort, but when done right, it can get them to better understand the harm they are inflicting upon themselves.
