Our Drug Addiction Therapy Programs

Addiction can be a complicated disease that can impact many aspects of one’s life. It was estimated that 20.7 Million Americans required treatment for substance abuse disorders in 2017. However, 2.5 Million received specialized treatment.

Individualized treatment for addiction must address both the underlying causes and the symptoms. This includes their ability and willingness to socialize and their mental and physical health. It also includes the consequences of substance use at school, work, home, and at school. To effectively treat addiction, there are many options for therapy.

List of Drug Addiction Therapy Programs

Addiction treatment often consists of both individual and group therapy sessions. It teaches people how to stay sober and how to deal with different situations. There are many effective ways to adapt a general behavioral therapeutic approach. These include:

• Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) can be used to treat many types of problematic substance abuse. CBT helps people recognize and modify their maladaptive behavior. CBT can be used to help with coping skills, identifying and preventing relapse, and with other risky situations. CBT can be used in conjunction with other methods. CBT can be used to treat other mental and physical disorders.
• Contingency Management. CM can be used to treat many types of drug addiction. This treatment method offers material rewards for desirable behavior, such as keeping sobriety. CM can reduce the risk of relapse and drop out.
• Motivational interview (MI) is a method for treating drug addiction. It helps recovering addicts to overcome ambivalence and embrace their efforts to change their substance abuse behavior. MI has the advantage that even though they are facilitated by a therapist over several sessions, individuals in recovery can develop their own motivations and plans for change. This gives them more control over their treatment.
• (DBT) DBT is a form of dialectal behavioral therapy . It can be used for many types of substance abuse, but mainly focuses upon severe personality disorders like borderline personality disorder. DBT helps patients to curb their cravings, avoid relapses and teach them healthy coping skills.
• Rationalemotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). ReBT helps patients to understand their thoughts. It also helps them develop better habits, think more rationally and have happier emotions. The basis of REBT is the belief that rational thinking can only be achieved within. External circumstances are not the key to happiness or sadness.
• Matrix Model. The Matrix Model is a mix of different therapeutic techniques. It was originally designed to treat individuals suffering from stimulant addiction. The Matrix Model is a combination of several therapeutic techniques. Therapists emphasize rewarding positive behaviors and teaching patients self-worth, dignity, self-worth, and self-worth against this background. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the Matrix Model is primarily focused on “relapse prevention”, family and group therapy, drug education and participation, and self-help.
• Facilitation in 12-Steps Facilitation Therapy in 12-Steps. This therapy encourages continued abstinence through the involvement of people in recovery with peer support groups. There are many 12-Step fellowships that host meetings, such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous.

What is the effectiveness of drug addiction therapy?

The effectiveness of behavioral therapy for addiction treatment will depend on the individual receiving it, their level and engagement with the treatment team, as well as the type of therapy provided. Research has shown that cognitive behavioral therapy skills are retained by patients long after treatment is completed. CBT appears to have a lasting positive impact on substance abuse victims.

It has been proven that contingency management is effective in treating many substance abuse disorders. This includes those involving alcohol and stimulants as well as opioids and other drugs. Patients may be motivated to abstain by receiving cash rewards or vouchers.

Incentive-based therapy was also found to be effective in improving treatment retention according to a clinical trial.

Substance Abuse Treatment: Medications

medication plays an important role when combined with counseling and other behavioral therapies to assist in a patient’s recovery. Many medications can be used to reduce cravings or manage withdrawal from opioids, benzodiazepines and other sedatives.

Anonym therapy with Naltrexone and buprenorphine , as well as opioid agonist medications like methadone and buprenorphine, may be used to treat those suffering from an addiction. To help those recovering from alcohol abuse disorders, drugs such as disulfiram and naltrexone may be prescribed.

You may also be able to take additional medications off-label to provide symptomatic support and/or treatment for co-occurring mental, or medical issues.

Alternative, Holistic and Alternative Drug Abuse Treatment

Is there a cure for addiction?

There is currently no treatment for substance abuse disorders. Like other chronic conditions, addiction can be a long-lasting and sometimes relapsing problem. There are many ways to manage and treat drug addiction, just as with other chronic conditions. People can take control of their lives and stop the negative effects of drugs and alcohol on their brains by treating substance abuse disorders.
