    Conditions and Issues Treated

    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 Amethyst Recovery Center in Port Saint Lucie 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.

    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 Amethyst Recovery Center to make sure they get through withdrawal safely. Treatment also includes comprehensive mental health counseling.

    Mental illness includes conditions such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder. It can also happen that mental illness causes drug addiction and vice versa. Amethyst Recovery Center in Florida knows it is vital to diagnose dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder.

    Levels of Care Offered

    This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Aftercare Support, Detox, Drug Rehab, Dual-Diagnosis, Inpatient, Intensive Outpatient, Intervention, Outpatient, Partial-Hospitalization, Residential, Sober-Living / Half-Way, 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 Florida generally span over 28 days to six months. The first step in an inpatient program is medically assisted detox. Doctors and addiction specialists at Amethyst Recovery Center 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.

    Daily trips to the hospital that provides the treatment include intensive outpatient services (IOP). IOP in Florida is appropriate for patients in residential recovery facilities that have been diagnosed with addiction. Patients return to their everyday lives gradually, increasing the likeliness of success in treatment.

    To assist with alcohol or opioid abuse, or a co-occurring condition, Amethyst Recovery Center offers an outpatient treatment program. For their rehabilitation and other services, the Florida patient will go to the treatment center, yet return home every night. After most of the program is completed, the level of mandatory participation reduces.

    To protect those dealing with acute symptoms of addiction, a partial hospitalization program is ideal in the treatment process. This ensures that the person is cared for in a hospital-like environment in Port Saint Lucie, FL during the battle against drug addiction effects. Most PHPs need therapy for about six hours, at least three days a week.

    Sober living houses in Florida help the patient to smoothly transition from a formal treatment program to a normal life. They are also known as recovery residences or half-way houses. SLH like Amethyst Recovery Center provide the advantage of residing with a peer-group who had similar experiences.

    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.

    Not everyone dealing with addiction is prepared to engage in a recovery program. Amethyst Recovery Center‘s Intervention Programs can be beneficial for these individuals. The individual’s friends and family will call and set up an intervention in or near Port Saint Lucie, Florida, and at which a specialist will come and lead the discussion.

    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 Port Saint Lucie, job therapy, or educational assistance may be included in this service, managed by Amethyst Recovery Center. This is when a preventive strategy for relapse starts to take shape.

So, the therapy starts with identifying the underlying irrational thoughts. These thoughts are then challenged and opposed logically and then replaced with positive thoughts. It also helps to change unwanted behavior with techniques such as meditation.

    By imparting positive thoughts and emotions, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) makes the individual self-reliant with a capacity to handle the emotional and behavioral issues in future by themselves without professional help. This self-dependence benefits the patients and prevent relapses.

    EMDR therapy is combined with behavioral therapies to address the root cause of the problem. The rapid eye movements reduce the patients’ negative feelings related to the trauma and promote calmness and relaxation.
