Levels of Care Offered
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Detox, Dual-Diagnosis, Outpatient, with additional therapies available as listed below.
A detox program helps the person physically withdraw from drugs and helps them track their progress. So, suppose the person isn’t ready for sobriety (or relapses). In that case, the treatment professionals can catch it early and help re-orient them towards recovery.
In order to focus on the psychological aspects of addiction, one must first address the physical symptoms of withdrawal.
Withdrawal symptoms can be painful, even fatal, so managing the detox process carefully is critical. Severe withdrawal symptoms are often treated with more advanced pharmaceutical interventions. Nausea and headaches are common side effects of detoxification.
Lee Memorial Behavioral Health‘s Therapies & Programs
Treatment programs include individual therapy for the greatest chances of success. Customized individual therapy is counseling involving you and your Lee Memorial Behavioral Health counselor. Individual therapy leads to greater peace and understanding about your triggers for addiction.
It has been said that unhealed trauma is the root of most addictions. Trauma therapy is a way of addressing trauma while in a safe situation in order to heal. Healing past traumas and introducing coping strategies are strong foundations for sustained recovery from addiction. This may involve individual or group counseling or both, in a Fort Myers, FL facility. Other forms of therapy have been proven to assist in healing past traumas.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on the underlying thoughts and behaviors that caused the problem of addiction in the first place and may cause a relapse. Negative feelings are common in substance abuse disorders, and if not recognized, they can cause co-occurring disorders.
CBT involves strategies that help to change the thinking and behavioral pattern by cognitive restructuring. In simple terms, it helps to remove negative thoughts and provides long-term benefits. Also, CBT promotes self-awareness, self-control, and healthy ways to respond to negative thoughts. It can be administered as a mono-therapy as well as a part of combination therapy.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic method used to treat emotional trauma. In an EMDR session, a Lee Memorial Behavioral Health therapist provides a stimulus for the client, such as hand-tapping or moving a visual stimulus that the client tracks while recounting a traumatizing event. EMDR is notably effective in treating PTSD.
Addiction commonly results in varying levels of malnutrition, vitamin and mineral deficiencies. This can be reflected in weight loss, hair loss or hair changes, skin irregularities and damage to multiple internal body functions. While in active addiction meals can be skipped or replaced by drugs or alcohol. Eating correctly to replace lost vitamins and minerals while balancing your diet can build confidence while restoring your health from the inside out.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) helps smokers get nicotine into their system without resorting to smoking. It’s a way to help people quit smoking without going cold turkey and experience aggressive withdrawal symptoms. The products (in the form of gums, sprays, patches, inhales, or lozenges) used in NRT provide the body with nicotine, excluding the toxic substances found in tobacco.
NRT treatment at Lee Memorial Behavioral Health in Fort Myers, Florida lowers down nicotine cravings, so the patient does not go through physical weakness while dealing with the emotional and mental stress of quitting smoking. Coupling NRT with counseling and other means of support gives long-term smokers a better chance of removing their unhealthy habit.Payment Options Accepted
