Substance Abuse + Addiction

Substance abuse refers to the intensive and inappropriate use of psychoactive substances. These include illegal drugs, alcohol, and even the excessive use of prescription drugs.

Opioid + Opiate Addiction

Opioid addiction treatment facilities like Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center support people struggling with opioid dependency, which covers illegal and prescription opioids.

Addiction forces people to crave for opioids impulsively without factoring in the dangers these drugs bring to them. Most opioid addiction treatment plans include detoxification and subsequent medications to ease the process. However, that’s only the beginning. Behavioral therapies and counseling are also necessary to resolve the root cause of addiction. This overall approach decreases the likelihood of falling off the wagon. In some instances, therapies can be done at home.
