    Conditions and Issues Treated

    Using both legal medications and illegal substances in order to maintain an addiction is substance abuse. If you are taking more of your prescription, or earlier than the prescribed time interval between doses than is directed you may be abusing that medication. If you are obtaining legal medications illegally in or near Wilmington, NC, you may be suffering from substance abuse.

    Illegal substances can become addictive after a single use and lead rapidly to substance abuse. The professionals at Lifeline Treatment Center are here to help.

    Opioid addiction treatment helps people addicted to opioids in North Carolina curb their drug use. The selection of a treatment setting depends on the severity of the addiction. Mild cases are usually treated in outpatient facilities; severe cases need hospitalization or treatment in a residential facility. Doctors use medicines along with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat the addiction. The treatment includes medication, counseling and therapy. It can also include group counseling, individual counseling and family counseling.

    Conditions such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder are part of mental illness. This may occur that opioid abuse and vice versa are induced by mental illness. Diagnosing a concurrent diagnosis or co-occurring condition at Lifeline Treatment Center is essential to understand the addiction better.

    Levels of Care Offered at Lifeline Treatment Center

    This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Aftercare Support, Detox, Dual-Diagnosis, Inpatient, Intensive Outpatient, Intervention, Outpatient, Partial-Hospitalization, Residential, with additional therapies available as listed below.

    Detox is a drug rehab process that begins before the actual drug rehab treatment. It is used to remove any residual toxins left in your body (and brain) after using drugs, and it is used with the intent to help you or your loved one complete drug rehab.

    If you are addicted to opiates like heroin, methadone, or prescription painkillers, you will detox with medication. This is because the withdrawal symptoms are often more intense and uncomfortable for an opiate addict than for someone who has abused or is dependent on other drugs, like cocaine.

    Inpatient programs are intensive regimes that require individuals suffering from serious addictions to admit themselves into a controlled environment. Inpatient programs in North Carolina generally span over 28 days to six months. The first step in an inpatient program is medically assisted detox. Doctors and addiction specialists at Lifeline Treatment Center monitor the individual’s vital signs as the drugs leave their system. Some inpatient rehab programs also provide counseling for family members to provide encouragement and emotional support. In inpatient programs, patients have access to 24-hour medical supervision.

    An intensive outpatient treatment program is set up for those struggling with an addiction to begin the recovery process. Patients come to Wilmington, North Carolina for treatment at Lifeline Treatment Center for therapy, support, programs, and medical supervision. Intensive outpatient treatment is often very tightly scheduled and heavily structured.

    To assist with alcohol or opioid abuse, or a co-occurring condition, Lifeline Treatment Center offers an outpatient treatment program. For their rehabilitation and other services, the North Carolina patient will go to the treatment center, yet return home every night. After most of the program is completed, the level of mandatory participation reduces.

    A partial hospitalization program is set up to cover those struggling with acute symptoms of addiction. This means that the individual is cared for in a hospital-like environment in Wilmington, NC during the struggle of those symptoms, but allowed to go home at night. Most PHPs require approximately six-hours of therapy, at least three days per week.

    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.

    Most people with addiction in Wilmington do not readily recognize that they need help. Family and friends need to take action and express their concern over their loved one’s well-being. It’s best to seek specialists like Lifeline Treatment Center, who provide intervention services.

    Aftercare comprises services that help recovering addicts readjust to normal day-to-day North Carolina activities. It can last a year or even longer. Services include individual and family counseling, medications to reduce cravings, and treatment of psychiatric and other medical conditions. Aftercare support begins once you have completed earlier stages of treatment.
