Conditions and Issues Treated
Substance Abuse + Addiction Treatment
Rehab centers in New Jersey exist to help individuals bounce back from substance abuse. Drug addiction refers to the use of illegal drugs and improper use of prescription drugs. Substance abuse includes all problems that stem out from using psychoactive substances. Centers like Alina Lodge are here to help.
Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment
Opioids are a set of drugs prescribed for pain relief. Opioid addiction for New Jersey residents refers to the compulsive seeking of opioids, even when they are not required medically. Treatment involves medication-assisted therapy in which medicines, counseling, and behavioral therapies are all utilized at Alina Lodge.
Dual-Diagnosis
A dual-diagnosis describes two medical issues that are happening at the same time. They may or may not be related. Over 50% of people with an addiction in New Jersey have another mental health condition. Screening for both addiction and any untreated mental health issue is essential, and individually managed by Alina Lodge.
Levels of Care
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Aftercare Support, Detox, Drug Rehab, Dual-Diagnosis, Inpatient, Residential, Sober-Living / Half-Way, with additional therapies available as listed below.
An addict may have to go through alcohol or drug withdrawal. While detox may be uncomfortable, it is not life-threatening. Detoxification allows the addict to rid the body of all traces of drugs or alcohol and gives the addict a clean slate for their recovery. In an inpatient or outpatient setting, detox can be managed medically.
Inpatient treatment takes place when a patient checks into a rehab facility. Patients at Alina Lodge receive round the clock care that includes detoxing and therapy. Although outpatient treatments are available, inpatient care is recommended as the first step in rehabilitation. The intensive and comprehensive treatment sets patients on a path for drug free living.
Sober living houses reinforce healthy living behaviors and can help prevent relapse. They are designed to feel more like a home with greater independence and privacy. A sober living house in Blairstown, NJ managed by Alina Lodge might incorporate random drug screening, curfews, rotating chores, group meetings.
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.
Aftercare support refers to the follow-up care provided after the initial rehab program. The quality of aftercare support plays an important role in preventing relapses and sustains recovery. Aftercare support at Alina Lodge is personalized according to the needs of the patient in New Jersey.
Therapies & Programs
Individual therapy refers to one-on-one psychotherapy between a patient and their Alina Lodge therapist. Individual therapy seeks to help identify the issues that drive and contribute to a client’s addiction or alcoholism. Another goal of individual counseling is to assist the client to learn how to manage their lives without alcohol or drugs.
Therapy for couples decreases unhealthy behavior in a relationship that can trigger addiction. Either, or both, members of the couple will be improved by this. This treatment administered by Alina Lodge still targets addiction and can also make a relationship healthier through a variety of methods.
Group therapy occurs in a group setting as opposed to a one on one setting. It benefits patients by providing a feeling of support and letting them know they are not alone. Patients at Alina Lodge also learn to build trust and understanding and gain perspective through discussions.
After experiencing trauma, it’s crucial to look for a facility that can provide trauma therapy. This approach zeroes in on the traumatic incidents that a patient has encountered in the past, recent or not. It’s been widely known that trauma can make an individual resort to alcohol or other substances to mask their troubles and pain. Trauma can originate from domestic violence, sexual abuse, an early encounter with death, sexual assault, and many more. The goal of trauma therapy at Alina Lodge in Blairstown, NJ is to help the patient see beyond the trauma and move forward. Mental health professionals will facilitate the patient’s journey and see to it that he or she is no longer a victim of his or her traumatic experiences and has wholly regained his or her personal power.
DBT, also known as dialectical behavior therapy, is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that helps people understand how their thoughts, behaviors, and feelings all connect. This can give them more control over their actions, effectively stopping self-harm ideations and attempts in some patients. It can also help put people in control over some mental struggles, like borderline personality disorder.
Most individuals suffering from addiction have low self-awareness, so they end up making poor decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is suitable for patients recovering from an addiction of any kind. Through it, patients become more aligned with their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, giving them a better opportunity to respond appropriately to temptations and negative feelings.
This therapy modality at Alina Lodge in Blairstown, NJ strengthens a person’s ability to stay on top of their emotional state and learn new stress management techniques so they won’t give in to the temptations easily. Moreover, CBT helps people communicate and express their emotions well, which can be vital in relapse management. CBT is also suitable for managing co-occurring disorders like depression and bipolar illness.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy sees a person suffering from substance addiction to have illogical reasoning, counterproductive actions, and does not see things clearly. REBT at Alina Lodge in Blairstown, NJ deals with cognition, images, and behavior extensively to rectify the client’s bad habits. The process calls for practice, reiteration, and bolstering the new way of thinking being introduced to the patient.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is designed to help patients process trauma. During the therapy, patients follow a bar of light or watch their therapist’s finger move back and forth. This mimics the eye movements of REM sleep. These are the same movements that allow the brain to reprocess memories. When traumatic memories are reprocessed, it reduces the impact they have on emotions. This treatment, offered by Alina Lodge, can be helpful to patients who turn to drugs to escape painful memories.
When it comes to maintaining sobriety, people who quit recovery without developing life skills are disadvantaged. While teaching life skills at Alina Lodge is difficult, support with aftercare helps patients learn these skills over time. Life skills include getting a career, living in a good environment, self-care, and finance management, all in Blairstown, NJ.
A 12-Step Program is a common method that is used to treat addiction. This format is used for both drug and alcohol treatment. It is extremely popular and successful for large numbers of people. It is a relatively simple set of steps that are done continuously in order to move through life with awareness, accountability and honesty. 12-Step programs are available in most every city in the Unites States. They are available in person, electronically and virtually through phone or web-based meetings.
Nutrition Therapy, or Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT), focuses on improving a patient’s mental and physical health through diet. A diet that is low in certain nutrients can lead to emotions that can trigger addiction or relapse. Alina Lodge‘s Nutritional therapy promotes healthy eating to heal the body and prevent addictive behavior.
