    Conditions and Issues Treated

    A detailed list of the primary issues commonly treated.

    Drug Rehabilitation

    Getting sober on your own is not only dangerous during the initial detox, it is also more likely to result in a relapse later on. Addiction treatment centers provide a monitored environment where you will get the medical attention you need, as well as the emotional support to overcome drug or alcohol abuse.

    Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment in Denver, CO

    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.

    Dual-Diagnosis

    Dual Diagnosis treatment centers like Life Continues Recovery of Colorado provide this treatment tailored to the patient’s specific needs, and they also have a specialized focus on addiction treatment. Drug and alcohol addiction often coexists with another mental illness, such as depression or schizophrenia. In other words, drug addiction is only a symptom of a deeper problem.

    When addiction enters into the picture, it can often lead to dangerous consequences in the addict’s life. For example, when addiction is paired with major depression, it can lead to suicidal thoughts or actions. When someone is addicted to drugs or alcohol, they often experience a failure to control their impulses and difficulty decision-making.

    Dual diagnosis for drug addicts can be very effective when treating drug addiction in Denver, CO.

    Drug Detox

    Detox is the body’s process of removing toxins. In substance abuse, detox refers to the process of getting rid of drugs already present in the system once the patient stops further intake. Detox is the initial recovery step. Physiological drug dependence over time can lead to symptoms of withdrawal. Depending on the symptom severity, the detox process is managed either medically or clinically. While medically assisted detox relies on specific medicines, clinical or social detox relies on providing the patient with emotional and psychological support.

    Outpatient Program

    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.

    Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

    A Partial Hospitalization Program is the safest way for a person suffering from addiction to get treatment without putting their family at risk. The addict has the freedom to check in and out of treatment, yet they still receive outside guidance and confinement if needed to beat their addiction.

    An addict in a Partial Hospitalization Program will meet with medical and psychological professionals and undergo drug testing, all of which can lead to a diagnosis and the beginning of an effective treatment plan. Treatment can include individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, community support sessions, and more.

    Aftercare Support

    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.

    Therapies & Programs

    The methods used to care for each individual at this Denver, CO Facility.

    Individual Therapy

    Individualized Treatment is essential because it gives addicts the ability to participate in a program that meets their unique needs. An addict should work with professionals who understand what they’re going through, especially if the addict is actively using.

    Trying to find a treatment program that meets your needs can be challenging. It’s even more complicated if you don’t know what kind of treatment you need. Being able to have professionals who are experienced with treating your situation is key to getting sober. Finding the right treatment program for an addict is difficult, but it’s even harder without communicating with those who have experience treating your specific situation.

    Group Counseling

    A person looking for drug recovery should know that group therapy is an essential tool. Group therapy provides accountability and friendship to people with addiction. It is recommended as a lifetime treatment habit. 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 Life Continues Recovery of Colorado also learn to build trust and understanding and gain perspective through discussions.

    EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively studied and proven effective for treating trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches. EMDR therapy promotes information processing of external stimuli, memories, thoughts, and feelings. EMDR sessions typically last 50-90 minutes and can be completed in as little as 12-15 sessions. However, many individuals with chronic trauma histories require more than 50 EMDR sessions to achieve significant symptom relief.

    EMDR therapy treats individuals, children, and adults of either gender exposed to one or more traumatic events. EMDR cannot cause someone to forget details of the traumatic event(s), nor does EMDR focus on exploring the past trauma(s). EMDR has been demonstrated effective for survivors of various traumas, including accidents, natural disasters, violent crimes, sexual abuse, and combat stress.

    EMDR is most effective when the client has completed a thorough psychiatric evaluation to rule out or treat any co-existing mental health problems. EMDR therapy does not involve hypnosis or abreaction (catharsis) of traumatic memories. EMDR is a goal-directed therapy in which the client works with the therapist to develop an individualized treatment plan that focuses on specific trauma memories and associated disturbance.

    Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)

    Thinking about nutrition is an odd thing when you’re strung out. You are probably so low physically that all you want to do is sleep, eat comfort food and get high again. It’s hard to imagine having enough energy to care about what kind of food you are eating but think about it. Your body has gone through some severe physical stress, so it is vital to give it the building blocks it needs to recover. It’s equally important to remember that malnutrition can affect your mood and energy level, which affects your desire to get sober.

    If you’re eating right, you’ll have more energy for productive activities, such as going to meetings or being with other sober people in Denver, Colorado. You’ll have more strength to fight cravings, and you won’t be so low that they are overwhelming. You will think clearly enough to make sober decisions. Finally, good nutrition helps keep your body strong against the familiar ravages of drug use–tuberculosis, hepatitis, abscesses, infections, etc.—as well as the physical symptoms of withdrawal.
