Drug addiction affects people from all walks of life and impacts nearly every aspect of society. Overcoming dependency issues requires an effort on the part of addicts and their families. Our addiction rehab program is the first step for anyone who has a drug or alcohol problem. Look for these signs that will tell you your loved one is a candidate.
Mental Signs of Drug Addiction
Do you spend a great deal of time thinking about using drugs? Are you obsessed with the idea of using or obtaining certain substances? Do you routinely count down the time before your next fix? If the answer to any of these questions is “yes,” you should consider addiction rehab.
Emotional Signs of Drug Addiction
Someone with a drug or alcohol addiction may undergo significant personality changes. He or she might display sudden or erratic mood swings that seemingly come out of nowhere. Those mood swings are often more profound when someone questions that individual about his or her behavior.
People with addictions often wish to hide their drug use from others. As such, they may spend increasing amounts of time alone. Some will even lock their doors or refuse to allow anyone over.
Drug use will eventually take first place in an individual’s life. At that point, a person will no longer care about old activities and might cease doing them altogether. Holding down a job or attending school is something many find difficult as well.
Physical Signs of Drug Addiction
A telltale sign of addiction occurs when you can’t seem to stop taking a substance. You may experience severe withdrawal symptoms and/or cravings after being without a drug for only a short period. Some common withdrawal symptoms include dizziness, profuse sweating, chills, nausea, and tremors.
Your body may also go through changes as a result of your drug use. As a result, you might encounter a loss of appetite or disrupted sleep patterns. Many abusers will even neglect their hygiene and personal appearance due to a lack of energy or feeling unmotivated.
If you notice these physical symptoms, it’s essential that you contact us at once. Seeking help from an addiction rehab center such as ours is the only way to safely manage withdrawal symptoms. By trying to quit cold turkey, you risk serious injury or even death.
Our Addiction Rehab Programs
At our addiction rehab center, we offer a variety of programs to help you beat your addiction. A few of those programs include:
- Family therapy
- Music and art therapy
- Dual diagnosis trauma therapy
- Men’s rehab
- Women’s rehab
- Youth treatment program
Treatment Levels Based on Your Needs
We offer different levels of treatment depending upon where you are in the recovery process. In the beginning, you’ll undergo full hospitalization and receive round-the-clock care. You can then step down to a partial hospitalization program (PHP). At that time, you’ll receive treatment at our facility during the day and then return to your own home at night.
The final step involves an Intensive outpatient program (IOP). During IOP, you spend most of your time at home but visit our center several times each week for counseling sessions. After graduating from IOP, we then offer six months of aftercare to help you maintain a drug-free lifestyle.
