Conditions and Issues Treated
Substance Abuse + Addiction Treatment
Substance abuse refers to the intensive and inappropriate use of psychoactive substances. Psychoactive substances are those that affect brain function. These include illegal drugs, alcohol, and even the excessive use of prescription drugs. The overuse of psychoactive substances leads to severe physical or psychological dependence. It also affects the social life and relationships of the affected individual. Substance abuse is treatable.
The duration of treatment at Gallus Detox Centers in Prescott can require weeks or even months depending on the severity of the condition as there is a risk of relapse. Treatment options include medications, counseling sessions, various types of behavioral therapy, and group therapy in different combinations.
Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment
Addiction to prescription opioid painkillers like oxycodone and hydrocodone, and illicit opioids such as heroin, leads to potentially life-threatening withdrawal symptoms when discontinued. Opioid addiction treatment typically involves an inpatient stay at facilities like Gallus Detox Centers to make sure they get through withdrawal safely. Treatment also includes comprehensive mental health counseling.
Levels of Care
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Aftercare Support, Detox, Drug Rehab, Inpatient, Intervention, Residential, with additional therapies available as listed below.
One of the first things an addict should do when entering treatment is to abstain from using illicit drugs completely. Depending on the length of time that the person has been using, the addict may have to go through alcohol or drug withdrawal. Fortunately, detox doesn’t have to be done alone, and withdrawal symptoms can be managed medically in an inpatient or outpatient setting. While detox may be uncomfortable, it is not life-threatening. Detoxification allows the addict to rid the body of all traces of drugs or alcohol and gives the addict a clean slate for their recovery.
Inpatient programs are intensive regimes that require individuals suffering from serious addictions to admit themselves into a controlled environment. Inpatient programs in Arizona generally span over 28 days to six months. The first step in an inpatient program is medically assisted detox. Doctors and addiction specialists at Gallus Detox Centers monitor the individual’s vital signs as the drugs leave their system. Some inpatient rehab programs also provide counseling for family members to provide encouragement and emotional support. In inpatient programs, patients have access to 24-hour medical supervision.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.
Treatment is just a first step in sustaining sobriety. After rehabilitation, counseling for aftercare helps the person adapt to a life without drugs. A sober living facility in Prescott, job therapy, or educational assistance may be included in this service, managed by Gallus Detox Centers. This is when a preventive strategy for relapse starts to take shape.
Gallus Detox Centers‘s Therapies & Programs
The recovery technique used by Alcoholics Anonymous is the 12 step program, but it can relate to any form of addiction. The 12 steps that addicts must take on the road to recovery are explained. Measures include acknowledging that you have a problem and agreeing to turn around your life. The curriculum, instructed by Gallus Detox Centers, also requires a belief in a greater power and making amends to others.
It’s no surprise that diet is a crucial player in one’s well-being. What an individual puts into his or her body becomes the fuel that drives the mental and physical faculties to perform accordingly. Therefore, nutrition therapy, also known as medical nutrition therapy (MNT), guarantees that an individual is providing his or her mind and body with proper nourishment.
The right diet can improve a person’s general outlook, sleep habits, and thought processing skills. MNT also lowers the occurrence of chronic diseases such as adult-onset diabetes. Dieticians at Gallus Detox Centers in Prescott, Arizona believe that nutrition therapy is the key to making significant lifestyle changes, especially when it comes to personal care.Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRTC) used products like skin patches and gum to deliver nicotine into the bloodstream of people trying to quit smoking. This helps break the habits associated with smoking. The very low doses of nicotine managed by Gallus Detox Centers prevent cravings while helping people make a gradual transition to complete smoking cessation.
