Conditions and Issues Treated
Treatment for opioid addiction is best made with the help of medical professionals who are experienced in dealing with these types of drugs. This treatment can involve medications, exercise, behavioral therapy, and counseling sessions. It is important to note that the effectiveness of treatments for opioid addiction vary, so it is vital to research which treatment options are suitable for each individual.
Many people who struggle with opioid addiction need to attend specific programs like methadone , Suboxone or Vivitrol clinics.

If the patient has a chronic condition like Hepatitis C, they must undergo treatment before they can begin taking these medications.

An intensive outpatient treatment program, or IOP, is set up for those struggling with an addiction to begin the recovery process. However, the patient will not live at the facility during treatment.

- Live-in managers – might be beneficial to people who do not have a support system in place at home, or who experience high levels of stress between work and home life.
- House managers – House managers are beneficial for people who do not have a strong social network to rely on, or who are concerned about relapse in their daily lives.
- House parents – House parents are beneficial to people who reside in areas without a strong aftercare program for support.
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.
Therapies & Programs

- Access to a personalized treatment plan that focuses on the individual needs of the addict
- More privacy during treatment sessions

Family therapy can help you and your family deal with old issues that may trigger substance abuse.

Unlike support groups where everyone already knows each other, group therapy is conducted along side outpatient or inpatient treatment at Perception Programs.
