    Conditions and Issues Treated

    Opioid addiction is a common form of addiction, often caused by prescription drugs that are abused. Addiction is treated by detoxifying the body and following up with therapies to correct behavior and target the root of the problem.

    Most opioid addiction begins with patients being prescribed painkillers after an injury or surgery. The body becomes used to the chemicals in these medications and soon no longer responds to their presence. As a result, addicts seek out stronger opiate-based medications like Oxycodone to compensate for the lack of effectiveness.

    The most dangerous aspect is that these addictive behaviors often get carried over onto illicit drugs like heroin, which are increasingly potent and result in lower life expectancies.

    The inpatient rehab at Hillside promises an intense and effective treatment. Inpatient rehabs are particularly recommended for those with a severe addiction to drugs. Detoxing at a rehab center ensures that the patient receives 24-hour medical supervision to ensure the best possible chance of recovery. Medical staff is readily available to intervene in case of withdrawal symptoms or other complications. This is not the case with outpatient treatment, where patients may be discharged after the detoxification process is complete.

    Inpatient facilities provide residential and holistic treatment, with access to experienced medical professionals and rehab specialists. This ensures the best possible recovery and is recommended for patients with severe addiction seeking drug treatment.

    Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) are a form of drug treatment that allows individuals to receive the therapy they need while remaining in their homes and community. IOPs allow for the flexibility to continue working and living at home while still meeting treatment demands.

    Outpatient treatment programs are less intensive than an inpatient program. Participants live at home while working or going to school. Benefits include being able to continue relationships with family, friends, and work/studies. Treatment includes educating patient on addiction to drugs, medication, and counseling.

    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 in drug rehab is crucial because it helps people stay sober after treatment. The benefits of Aftercare Support are that it provides a pathway that will help people get sober for life. It supports healing at all levels, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
