Conditions and Issues Treated
Substance Abuse + Addiction Treatment
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. Overuse of these substances leads to severe physical or psychological dependence.
Substance abuse is treatable and the duration of treatment and most successful sobriety can require weeks or months of professional care at Genesis Counseling Services in Framingham.
Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment
Opioid addiction treatment facilities like Genesis Counseling Services support people struggling with opioid dependency, which covers illegal and prescription opioids. People often abuse prescription opioids to get high instead of adhering to a medical provider’s directions. 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.
Dual-Diagnosis
An underlying cause often brings about addiction. Mental disorders can lie at the center, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or anxiety disorder. As well as the cause of the addiction, a dual diagnosis by Genesis Counseling Services helps to treat the addiction. This ensures that after treatment is complete, the patient will not fall back on old practices.

Due to the potential danger, it’s critical to understand what detoxification is and how to complete it safely.
Detoxification usually includes:
- Medical supervision.
- Medication to ease withdrawal symptoms.
- Drug testing to track progress.
- Counseling.
