1. Drug Alcohol Detox
The drug alcohol detox process is perhaps the
most physically and emotionally stressful aspect
of recovery for individuals that have been
suffering from a drug or alcohol addiction. After
weeks, months or years, depending on the
substance, the body starts to rely on the drug
and side effects appear once that substance is no
longer being consumed. Depending upon the
particular substance abused, an individual may
face any number of these side effects referred to
as withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms can
be viewed as an addicts body punishing them for
not giving it what it needs the drugs or
alcohol.

2. Outpatient Detox
The detox component of treatment does not always
have to take place in a residential treatment
centre. There are many suitable options that
allow addicts to get the help they need to get
through detox, while still going about their
regular lives. This is known as an outpatient
detox. An outpatient detox will offer the
medication needed for a comfortable detox while
also requiring the addict or alcoholic to come to
groups and go to 12 step meetings during the
week. Outpatient detox usually consists of
counselling too. As for staying accountable with
the medication, each time the addict comes to
group, they will bring their medication and it
will be counted. If you are worried about how an
addict or alcoholic can stay safe while in an
outpatient detox, it is fairly simple.

2. Outpatient Detox

• Common outpatient detox options rely upon the
  following structures
• Allows addicts to pick up necessary medication to
  treat withdrawal symptoms from a pharmacy or an
  addiction treatment center.
• Allows addicts to attend group or individual
  counselling sessions to deal with emotional drug
  or alcohol withdrawal.
• Provides addicts with access to medical support.
• The benefit of any form of outpatient treatment
  is the fact that addicts can continue to go to
  work, school, and keep up with family
  responsibilities. While this may be hard to do
  while going through detox it may be necessary for
  an addict to continue on with their daily life in
  order to keep things from getting worse. For
  instance, if a parent of a household needs to
  keep their job to provide for their family, but
  also requires detox, an outpatient detox setting
  is perfect for them. Typically, the most common
  type of outpatient detox treatment available
  involves the administration of medication. This
  is an appropriate option for addicts with less
  severe addictions and those who have a strong
  support system available to them at home.

3. Residential Treatment Placement
People suffering from severe addictions to drugs
or alcohol may struggle to overcome their
dependency while living in their home
environment, even if they have the support of an
outpatient program. There are just far too many
temptations that an individual can face when
remaining in an environment that is already toxic
to them. People, places, and events that remind
them of their drug or alcohol use may tempt them
to begin using again. This is why most addicts
and alcoholics do better or at least choose to
enter a residential treatment program instead of
outpatient treatment. Residential treatment
placement offers the security, safety, and
accountability that can keep an addict or
alcoholic from using and can also remove
temptations from them. Of course residential
treatment placement isnt foolproof, but it can
be more effective for those whose drug use and
drinking are severe. Residential treatment is
also a great option for addicts or alcoholics who
continue to relapse despite their best efforts to
stay clean and sober. Residential treatment
placement offers a very safe space for healing
from a drug and alcohol addiction.

3. Residential Treatment Placement

• Residential treatment typically offers the
  following features to addicts in recovery
• Accommodations that allow addicts to live onsite
  at a facility during the course of their
  treatment
• 24/7 medical support to ensure safety during drug
  or alcohol detox
• Individual and/or group counselling sessions
• Medical and psychiatric support
• Activities and amenities designed to encourage
  addiction healing
• Finding a suitable residential treatment center
  can be a challenge. There are many to choose from
  and although all residential treatment centres
  are designed to help addicts recover, they offer
  different services, programs, and philosophies.
  Addiction Intervention Now can help you connect
  with the appropriate setting and program based on
  your addiction history and previous attempts at
  treatment. Simply being in a healthy, safe, sober
  environment will help you recover without
  temptation or relapse.

4. Long-Term Treatment Options
There is always the potential for relapse
following any addiction treatment, which is why
it is essential for addicts to choose treatment
options that offer them a better chance at
long-term recovery. Gradually stepping down the
level of care, say from residential to IOP to
outpatient, can also increase an addicts chance
in recovery by making these challenging
transitions go more smoothly. Long-term
treatment options typically associated with lower
relapse rates that are available include

4. Long-Term Treatment Options
Halfway Houses
Family Treatment
Residential Rehab
The transition from an institutionalized rehab
setting to normal life can be hard for addicts,
and this is a time when relapse becomes even more
likely. A halfway house offers structure and
supervision, plus 24/7 support from other
residents and house staff. Halfway houses are
beneficial in early sobriety because they can
help minimize outside temptations and provide a
safe, supportive space to call home while
completing outpatient treatment. Living in a
halfway house helps ease the challenging
transition from treatment back into society.
A residential rehab program is one of the more
intensive long-term treatment options, as
recovery becomes the sole focus of the addict. In
residential rehab, addicts live onsite at the
rehab facility and have 24/7 support from medical
and psychological professionals. Residential
rehab programs typically range from 30 days-90
days, but there are also longer-term treatment
programs. Residential rehab can help the addict
learn how to live sober, as well as help them
with any other mental illnesses or traumas that
may fuel their addiction.
Dealing with a loved ones addiction impacts the
entire family system emotionally, spiritually,
and financially. It is important for family
members to learn how to communicate honestly and
openly. Involving family in the treatment process
can help prepare individuals to receive support
from their loved ones once they return home again
after comprehensive treatment. Family members
need to heal themselves in order to support
someone in recovery, and they also need to learn
how to do that effectively.

5. Halfway House Placement
A halfway house is an environment that helps
people suffering from addictions transition from
in-depth treatment to their normal lives and
routines. A halfway house has many of the
comforts of home and provides individuals with a
much greater sense of independence. Halfway
houses typically offer the following to
residents A safe drug and alcohol free
environment, so there are no temptations at
home. Supervision, meaning someone for addicts in
recovery to be accountable to. Many halfway homes
have curfews and want to have an understanding of
a residents day-to-day activities. This helps
keep them substance-free. Routine drug/alcohol
testing to ensure that relapse has not
occurred. Group and individual counselling. Assist
ance rebuilding a recovering addicts life. For
example, offering guidance when it comes to
finding a job, choosing hobbies, and managing
stresses. Family programs where addicts in
recovery can begin rebuilding relationships with
loved ones, without living in the same
household. Attending a halfway house program can
help an addict ease back into normal life and
start to cope with the stresses that ultimately
come with recovery. For more information on
suitable programs in the area, please contact us,
as we offer halfway house placement services.

6. Dual Diagnosis Referral Services

• Mental health and substance abuse are often so
  closely linked that it can be hard to
  differentiate which issue began first. This is
  why dual diagnosis treatment is an appropriate
  option for many addicts, as addiction and mental
  health usually go hand in hand. Dual diagnosis
  treats addiction and mental health as a part of
  the same package, under the belief that treating
  just one of the conditions will ultimately result
  in relapse with the other. A dual diagnosis
  program recognizes the importance of treating
  both the mental health condition and the
  addiction at the same time. Treating both the
  mental health condition and the addiction gives
  an addict or alcoholic the best shot at recovery.
• There are some conditions that dual diagnosis
  treatment is particularly effective at treating.
  For example
• Depression or anxiety
• Personality disorders
• Schizophrenia
• Trauma or PTSD
• Eating disorders

treatment, the most effective option is a
residential treatment program that specializes in
treating addiction and mental health at the same
time. A residential dual diagnosis program can
gives the addict or alcoholic the time needed to
find the right mix of mental health medication
and treatments as well as let go of the drugs and
the alcohol. This is the most effective form of
treatment for anyone who is suffering from both a
mental health condition and an addiction,
regardless of which came first. We can help you
