Conditions and Issues Treated
With so many people struggling with opioid addiction, opioid addiction treatment is more critical than ever before. Patients often take opioids when they face a painful injury. When someone begins taking opioids such as Vicodin or oxycodone differently than how the medications were prescribed, this points to opioid addiction.
Stopping these types of medications abruptly is not safe. That is where opioid addiction treatment at Alternative Options Counseling Center in Placentia, CA comes in. Most opioid addiction treatment facilities start with detox and move to rehabilitation services while providing medical support during the process.
Getting over an opioid addiction takes time and determination, but with the right support and resources, those struggling with opioid addiction can recover and move forward with their lives.
An underlying cause often brings about addiction. Mental disorders can lie at the center, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or anxiety disorder. As well as the cause of the addiction, a dual diagnosis by Alternative Options Counseling Center helps to treat the addiction. This ensures that after treatment is complete, the patient will not fall back on old practices.

Therapies & Programs
Individual professional counseling or individual therapy refers to the one-on-one interaction between a patient and his or her counselor. Individual therapy allows for more privacy, one that group interactions can’t provide. Therefore, it becomes easier for a person to unload and become more open to his or her counselor.

It makes it easier for the counselor and the patient to deal with the central issues, which are likely the culprits of substance addiction.

Families are not always as supportive as they could be, but by opting for family therapy, many recovering addicts are able to understand their addiction and get the support they need to get sober. These therapy sessions at Alternative Options Counseling Center in Placentia, CA involve all members of the family who play a role in the recovering person’s daily life. They work together to overcome past issues, avoid triggers, and remain strong and supportive of each other.
In group therapy, the patient undergoes sessions with other patients dealing with similar problems under the guidance of a trained counselor. The members of the group interact with each other and talk freely about their issues. The recovery of members of the group from the problems that they face gives the patients confidence that they can also overcome their addiction.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a way of addressing concerns through talking. Talking through issues can identify sources of discomfort or unhealthy thoughts. CBT is a healthy way Alternative Options Counseling Center addresses some behaviors which may be bringing unintended consequences in a persons life.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is different from the traditional treatment that helps patients recover from substance abuse. Research shows that the root cause of substance abuse in many patients is the negative feelings and emotions that are associated with some past trauma. In EMDR therapy, therapists make the patients recollect such traumatic events while stimulating their vision.
The rapid eye movements reduce the patients’ negative feelings related to the trauma and promote calmness and relaxation. EMDR therapy is combined with behavioral therapies to address the root cause of the problem, which reduces the chances of relapse at a later stage.
Nutrition therapy involves providing healthy diet and improving the eating habits of the patient. Expert dieticians provide individualized meal plan, that addresses the specific nutritional deficiencies. Nutrition therapy also teaches the associated life skills such as cooking healthy food and grocery shopping. It helps to overcome the food cravings that are seen in certain addictions.
NRT, also known as nicotine replacement therapy, allows someone to get the effects of nicotine without chewing or smoking. It is often done with a patch, allowing those who want to quit relying on nicotine to better manage their cravings. As the cravings get easier to manage, the doses of nicotine get reduced until nicotine is no longer needed.
