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.

Detox is a drug rehab process that begins before the actual drug rehab treatment. It is used to remove any residual toxins left in your body (and brain) after using drugs, and it is used with the intent to help you or your loved one complete drug rehab.
If you are addicted to opiates like heroin, methadone, or prescription painkillers, you will detox with medication. This is because the withdrawal symptoms are often more intense and uncomfortable for an opiate addict than for someone who has abused or is dependent on other drugs, like cocaine.

Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.
Therapies & Programs
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 The Refuge in Ocklawaha, FL involve all members of the family who play a role in the recovering person’s daily life.

In group therapy, the patient undergoes sessions with other patients dealing with similar problems under the guidance of a trained counselor.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a method of individual and/or group counseling that focuses on acceptance and change. DBT can be very effective in developing coping strategies for negative emotions.
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 The Refuge 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.
The 12 step program is the treatment method used by Alcoholics Anonymous, but it can apply to any type of addiction. It outlines the 12 steps addicts should take on the path to recovery. Steps include admitting you have a problem and making the decision to turn your life around. A belief in a higher power and making amends to others are also part of the program.
