3. 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 addict’s body punishing them for not giving it what it needs — the drugs or alcohol. www.addictioninterventionnow.com

4. 1. Drug Alcohol Detox Common withdrawal symptoms associated with drug and alcohol detox include: Drug alcohol detox is also accompanied by emotional withdrawal symptoms: • Anxiety • Depression (severe) • Insomnia • Suicidal thoughts • Inability to concentrate • Sweating or hot flashes • Problems breathing or tightness in the chest • Stomach problems (vomiting, diarrhea, nausea) • Muscle tremors • Heart palpitations • Hallucinations • Delirium Tremors (DTs) • Major seizures www.addictioninterventionnow.com

5. 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. www.addictioninterventionnow.com

6. 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. www.addictioninterventionnow.com

7. 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 isn’t 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. www.addictioninterventionnow.com

8. 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. www.addictioninterventionnow.com

9. 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 addict’s 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: www.addictioninterventionnow.com

10. 4. Long-Term Treatment Options Halfway Houses Family Treatment 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. Residential Rehab 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 one’s 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. www.addictioninterventionnow.com

11. 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 resident’s 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. Assistance rebuilding a recovering addict’s 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.

12. 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 www.addictioninterventionnow.com

13. 6. Dual Diagnosis Referral Services Due to the intensive nature of dual diagnosis 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 determine if this type of treatment is necessary for a loved one and connect you with appropriate treatment solutions that can help them to overcome their struggles. www.addictioninterventionnow.com
