Conditions and Issues Treated
A drug abuser needs help because if no one helps them, they will not leave their vicious circle.
People who abuse drugs are likely to suffer from an addiction, which can cause serious health problems. It can also cause quarrels with people around them. It is common for drug abusers to have difficulty holding down jobs or relationships, but sometimes people around them can be quite tolerant. There are cases where the families of the drug abusers do not want to see them get any help, and the subject becomes controversial.
When it comes to helping drug abusers get sober, there are many options to choose from. It is essential to state that there is no “correct” way of doing things. People are different, and they need different types of help to get over their addiction.
When addiction and psychiatric issues co-occur, the addict’s recovery is more successful when both conditions are treated. A dual diagnosis refers to a condition in which the patient is diagnosed with two health issues: addiction and bipolar disorder.
Usually, dual diagnosis sufferers are prescribed a combination of treatments for each condition. The most common therapies are psychotherapy, behavioral therapy, spiritual counseling, 12-step programs, and medication management.
Psychiatric conditions are an obstacle to recovery because they can create roadblocks to a healthy lifestyle. Drugs and alcohol may be used as a means of self-medication, which can have dangerous consequences. Over time, addicts build up a tolerance and suffer withdrawal symptoms when drug use is stopped.
With the proper treatment, dual diagnosis sufferers can overcome their conditions and achieve lasting sobriety.
Levels of Care Offered at Bridgeway Psychiatric Center
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Dual-Diagnosis, Inpatient, Outpatient, Partial-Hospitalization, with additional therapies available as listed below.
Inpatient treatment is an option that provides addicts with a supportive environment in which they can stop using. This type of intensive care and supervision is appropriate for those who were unable to quit on their own or need more structure than they could get from outpatient treatment, such as the addict most in need of this level of care.
The goal of inpatient rehab is for the addict to stay focused on sobriety and remain free of mood altering substances. Inpatient treatment programs usually offer the following: detox, therapy groups, one-on-one counseling, medication management and aftercare planning.
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 Lake Charles, 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.
Partial Hospitalization Program is when a person in rehab takes part in regular treatment sessions, at least five days per week (and sometimes six), during all or most hours of the day, at Bridgeway Psychiatric Center. These programs vary in length, but they can last anywhere from one month to three months—or longer.
This is done through the use of a method called “therapeutic community.” PHPs are very intense, and they are best for individuals who have completed a successful, medically supervised withdrawal.
Therapies & Programs
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.
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 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 Bridgeway Psychiatric Center occur in a group setting rather than one-on-one to create a safer, controlled environment where addicts feel comfortable.
Trauma therapy helps people dealing with addiction by allowing them to confront the traumas of their past and move past them. It is important to note that trauma therapy should not be confused with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Rather, it is used to treat the effects of trauma, which are often at the root of addiction.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy was developed in the 1980s to treat chronically suicidal individuals. It is a cognitive-behavioral therapy that combines strategies derived from Zen Buddhism, such as mindfulness training. DBT has been adapted for use with other types of psychiatric problems, including substance abuse and personality disorders. DBT aims to help patients change their thinking and behavior, instead of relying on medication.
