Addiction Treatment

Addiction Treatment involves detox, various types of therapies, and development of an aftercare plan.   Addiction treatment can be done on an outpatient basis, but this is rarely a good idea for someone who is actively abusing alcohol or drugs. It can be difficult to avoid triggers during the first 30 days without drugs or alcohol, so a residential addiction treatment center gives the person a much better chance of making it through this critical period.
An addiction treatment center is a residential facility that offers a safe, supportive place to begin the journey to recovery.  Freedom from the paralyzing claim that drugs and alcohol have on you or a loved one can open up amazing opportunities, but it must be based on a clinically sound, structured addiction treatment program.
Addiction treatment is about much more than detox and 12 step meetings.  Today’s clinically rigorous addiction treatment centers offer some cutting edge modalities to help those with addiction overcome any underlying issues that may be contributing to substance abuse.  These may include neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, a powerful tool to learn how retrain your brain  to stay focused on the moment and act less impulsively;  equine-assisted psychotherapy, which is helpful for those who struggle with talk therapy, especially people with past trauma; EMDR, an eye movement therapy that has shown remarkable results for people who have experience trauma; cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy; adventure therapy (hiking, mountain climbing, wilderness experiences); Eastern medicine (acupuncture and nutritional therapies); and pain management (physical therapy, neurofeedback, and alternative non-addictive medication).
