    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.

    Inpatient rehabilitation aims to treat severe addictions and co-occurring disorders. Depending on individual requirements, the duration of the stay at Rio Grande State Center ranges from four weeks to six months. Texas inpatient recovery guarantees that the patient resides in an environment free of drugs.

    An Outpatient Rehab Program is a part-time drug rehab program for treating individuals in Texas with mild addiction or mild-to-moderate drug withdrawal symptoms. It generally requires about 10 to 12 hours every week. Doctors can administer on-the-spot medication to ease withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, increased heart rate, and even depression. Groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) can be used as a part of outpatient treatment to help maintain sobriety.

    Rio Grande State Center‘s Therapies & Programs

    Treatment programs include individual therapy for the greatest chances of success. Customized individual therapy is counseling involving you and your Rio Grande State Center counselor. Individual therapy leads to greater peace and understanding about your triggers for addiction.

    Group therapy may occur on an inpatient or outpatient basis and involves groups of clients who have no pre-existing relationships outside the group. Group therapy differs from support groups in two primary ways: group therapy is a kind of psychotherapy and is moderated by a professional therapist at Rio Grande State Center in Texas.

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps those who attend Rio Grande State Center understand how their feelings, beliefs, and thoughts affect their behaviors. DBT is particularly useful for people with self-harming behaviors, as well as those with substance abuse disorders. DBT teaches people how to tolerate distress, regulate their emotions, and how to become mindful.

    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.

    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 Rio Grande State Center in Harlingen, Texas 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.
