Conditions and Issues Treated
Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment in Putnam, CT
Opioids are a group of drugs that include substances such as heroin, morphine, and oxycodone. These drugs activate opioid receptors in the brain, which produce pleasurable feelings. Opioid addiction occurs when drugs are abused at increasing rates or increasing amounts because the body becomes tolerant of them.
Opioid addiction is typically diagnosed when drug abuse becomes a typical behavior that interferes with an individual’s ability to function daily. The use of the substance results in consequences like legal problems.
Treatment for opioid addiction varies depending on each individual’s needs. Some treatments focus on replacing opioids with other drugs that have similar effects of reducing withdrawal symptoms. Other treatments aim to reduce the risk of relapse by providing psychological support or using more natural methods.
Dual-Diagnosis
A drug rehab center that uses Dual Diagnosis is more likely to be successful in rehabilitating a person. Dual diagnosis helps to identify and treat any co-occurring disorders. It is essential to screen for both addiction and any untreated mental health issues. A dual diagnosis gives rehab the means to treat addiction while restoring mental and emotional health.
About 70% of patients with drug addiction have at least one other psychiatric diagnosis. Fortunately, dual diagnosis treatment is a proven model that has been highly effective.
Levels of Care
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Detox, Drug Rehab, Dual-Diagnosis, Inpatient, Intensive Outpatient, Intervention, Outpatient, Residential, Sober-Living / Half-Way, with additional therapies available as listed below.
Detox, or detoxification, is the method of weaning a person’s body from the toxic substance(s) they have abused. This is a slow process under medical supervision and one that should occur for almost all individuals. As detox can cause medical complications, it should always be performed by experienced medical professionals in a safe setting.
Inpatient rehab means you live there while your addiction or co-occurring disorder is treated. Prescribed medications are used along with counseling.
This type of rehabilitation provides a drug-free environment for people who struggle with chronic/long-term addiction (or their own home). Jobs or school can be put on hold until after the stay to focus solely on recovery.
An intensive outpatient program is usually the first phase of addiction treatment. It provides relief for those addicted, but not ready to commit to an inpatient setting. IOPs consist of a daily 3 to 5-hour program, and there is a required number of hours per week. The goal here is to teach patients healthy coping skills, such as stress management.
Outpatient programs offer a lower intensity level of addiction treatment than inpatient facilities. They are ideal for those who have graduated from inpatient facilities, have a supportive home environment, and are motivated to commit to the program. Services offered include medication-assisted treatment, individual and group therapy, and peer group support.
This treatment is a popular option for those suffering from a lower intensity addiction. It is not advisable for someone who needs to go through a medically supervised detox or does not have a supportive home environment. It requires motivation and dedication to commit to the program without constant monitoring.
Sober Living Homes are an option for those who have completed a treatment program within the past several months. However, it isn’t advisable to use this as a permanent living arrangement because it can lead to a relapse .
The goal of a sober living home is to provide a supportive environment for recovering addicts so they don’t need to return to their previous lifestyles. The homes will not accept residents who are still using drugs or alcohol, and those living in the house must follow a set of rules dictating how they should behave to avoid relapsing.
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.
Interventions help families and friends express their feelings, express their desire for change, and plan for action. Interventionists are trained professionals who help family members plan or lead interventions. Family members should help choose an experienced professional to guide their loved one through treatment. Across the country, intervention services are available.
