When it comes to overcoming addiction, it is important to review your previous attempts to quit and find an effective path to recovery. Olympia House Rehab's residential treatment program provides a peaceful and structured environment to begin the drug and alcohol recovery process. Our 24-hour staff is trained in various treatment options to offer the most individualized and effective treatment program for each resident. The first step is usually to purge the body of drugs and control withdrawal symptoms.
Medications may be used to control withdrawal symptoms, prevent relapse, or treat any co-occurring mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety. Long-term follow-up can help prevent relapse and maintain sobriety. This may include attending in-person support groups or online meetings to help keep your recovery on track. It is important to remember that no treatment works for all people.
Addiction treatment should be personalized to your particular situation and you should find a program that seems right for you. Drug addiction treatment is not a quick and easy process; in general, the longer and more intense the drug use, the longer and more intense the treatment you will need. And in all cases, long-term follow-up care is crucial to recovery. If you need to have a medical or dental procedure, be sincere and look for a provider who will work with you on prescribing alternatives or on the absolute minimum medication needed.
You should never be embarrassed or humiliated by previous drug use or denied pain medication; if that happens, look for another provider. If you were addicted to a prescription medication, such as an opioid pain reliever, you may need to talk to your doctor to find alternative ways to manage your pain. Drugs with a high potential for abuse include analgesics, sleeping pills and anxiolytics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a valuable treatment tool because it can be used for many different types of addictions, including but not limited to food addiction, alcohol addiction, and prescription drug addiction. CBT can help you recognize your unhealthy behavior patterns, identify triggers and develop coping skills.
It can also be combined with other therapeutic techniques such as Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) which helps you recognize negative thoughts and combat feelings of self-defeat. Contingency Control (CM) can also be used to treat a wide variety of addictions, including alcohol, narcotics and tobacco. Contingency management therapy reinforces positive behavior (i.e., maintaining sobriety) by providing tangible rewards which has been successfully used to combat relapse according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. To overcome any type of addiction, it is important to sit down and reflect on your life. Find out why you started using these substances or enjoying these behaviors; in most cases people start using stimulants to fill the void they feel. The website has been created to inspire, influence and infect people with positivity and help people start their journey towards pursuing their dreams. The goal is to help 1 million people pursue their dream while having a full-time job; will you be one of them?.
