    Drug Detox

    Detoxification is the first step in drug addiction treatment. A controlled environment where symptoms can be managed with medication and close observation is provided by drug detoxification. Detoxification is an essential step in the recovery process, but it is also one of the most dangerous. Due to the potential danger, it’s critical to understand what detoxification is and how to complete it safely.

    A detox program helps the person physically withdraw from drugs and helps them track their progress. So, suppose the person isn’t ready for sobriety (or relapses). In that case, the treatment professionals can catch it early and help re-orient them towards recovery.

    Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

    The Intensive Outpatient Program at A First Step Counseling is for those who need intensive care but would rather get it in the comfort of their own home. The treatment programs vary in duration and intensity and can be tailored to suit the individual’s needs. IOP helps the patient to live at home and gradually get back to their routine life.

    Daily trips to the hospital that provides the treatment include intensive outpatient services (IOP). The patients gradually get back to their everyday lives. IOP benefits the most when the patients have a supportive family member or friend who can encourage them in their recovery.

    Individuals struggling with drug addictions can get help from several treatment options, including inpatient and outpatient programs. Outpatient drug treatment programs can also provide patients with different levels of care, usually depending on the patient’s degree of addiction.

    At an outpatient program in New Port Richey, a patient will attend a recovery program during the day and return home in the evening. Suppose a patient is struggling with drug addiction. In that case, an outpatient program can serve as an effective transition point during the recovery process.

    Aftercare Support

    Aftercare is a part of drug rehabilitation. It is also known as “post-treatment support.” Aftercare programs are available for addicts after they complete drug rehab. It is often the final step in the recovery process. The goal of aftercare is to ensure that addicts maintain their achievements in rehab and do not relapse. Professionals generally provide aftercare (including addiction therapists, physicians, social workers, psychologists) and involve individual and group therapy sessions.

    Therapies & Programs

    The methods used to care for each individual at A First Step Counseling.

    Individual Therapy

    Individual therapy is a critical component of addiction recovery. It allows the patients to go deep into their core issues and discover how to handle those problems better. Therapy can be conducted in individual sessions as well as group settings. In individual therapy for addiction, the patient meets with their therapist one-on-one to focus on the underlying issues. This allows patients to open up and discuss personal topics they may not feel comfortable discussing in a group setting. This type of therapy can help develop solutions specific to each patient, which helps speed up the recovery process.

    Couples Therapy

    Couples therapy is beneficial for couples in which at least one partner has a substance use disorder. This type of therapy can help partners improve communication skills, which is an important factor in a healthy relationship. It can also help partners better understand one another so they have a greater understanding of how the other partner may be feeling.

    Benefits of couples therapy include:

    • Improvement in communication skills
    • Increased understanding of the dynamics within a relationship
    • Increased sense of support and trust in the relationship
    • Better teamwork between partners/increased willingness to listen and work together
    • Enhanced tolerance of each other’s shortcomings
    • Improved ability to have open, honest communication with each other

    Family Counseling + Therapy

    Family therapy is a crucial part of drug treatment and getting sober. It is one of the most effective ways to help addicts stay on the path to long-term sobriety. When a drug addict decides that they want to try and get sober, it takes the support of every person they love to succeed. It can be incredibly difficult for loved ones to watch an addict go through the pain and suffering of withdrawal, but by being there with them and supporting them, they can help to make sure that the addiction never returns.

    One of the most important parts of family therapy is the relapse prevention plan. During treatment, therapists and doctors will often sit down with the addict and their family to develop a plan in case the addict ever feels like they want to use again. This plan should involve steps the addict and family can take together to prevent them from relapsing in the future. An addict’s family can play a vital part in helping them to avoid relapse because they can spot the warning signs and help them get back on track before it becomes too much of a problem.

    Group Counseling

    Group therapy helps prevent addicts from feeling isolated or unique in their situation by offering a sense of comfort and fellowship. It also creates a forum for addicts to build their support systems and learn from each other. The group therapy sessions at A First Step Counseling occur in a group setting rather than one-on-one to create a safer, controlled environment where addicts feel comfortable.
