Conditions and Issues Treated
Substance abuse refers to the intensive and inappropriate use of psychoactive substances. These include illegal drugs, alcohol, and even the excessive use of prescription drugs. Overuse of these substances leads to severe physical or psychological dependence.
Substance abuse is treatable and the duration of treatment and most successful sobriety can require weeks or months of professional care at Spectrum Health Systems - Charles J. Faris Recovery Center in Westborough.
Opioid addiction treatment facilities like Spectrum Health Systems - Charles J. Faris Recovery Center support people struggling with opioid dependency, which covers illegal and prescription opioids.

Most opioid addiction treatment plans include detoxification and subsequent medications to ease the process. However, that’s only the beginning. Behavioral therapies and counseling are also necessary to resolve the root cause of addiction. This overall approach decreases the likelihood of falling off the wagon.

Detoxification usually includes:
- Medical supervision.
