Conditions and Issues Treated
Rehabilitation, Medication, and Therapy – a combination of all three is most effective.
The most successful treatments for drug dependence or abuse have been those that include education and counseling and medication such as methadone or buprenorphine. The right drug abuse treatments need counseling, psychotherapy, and detoxification or medications to help with withdrawal symptoms.
Substance abuse can take many different forms, including the overuse or misuse of prescription drugs, unprescribed drugs, alcohol addiction, and drug addiction.
A combination of treatments is often needed to treat drug abuse issues effectively. In the case of drug abuse, there is no easy answer or one-size-fits-all cure.
While some drug addictions can be treated with counseling and support groups, many drug abusers also need medication to help them overcome their addiction. In other cases, drug abuse can lead to a medical problem and require medical treatment.
Treatment for drug addiction typically combines counseling and psychotherapy with medication and behavioral therapies. In some rare cases, hospitalization may also be required. All different treatments combined are the best way to help someone addicted to drugs, alcohol, or other substances.
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.
These types of programs will provide the patient with legal, prescription medications that can help them overcome their cravings for illegal opioids like heroin or fentanyl . If the patient has a chronic condition like Hepatitis C, they must undergo treatment before they can begin taking these medications.
Individuals who are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol often have one or more co-occurring mental health disorders. Addressing both the addiction and the mental health problems at facilities like The Arbor - IOP can be very beneficial for these individuals.
Common mental health conditions that often co-occur with addiction include:
- Anxiety Disorders – People with drug and alcohol problems often suffer from anxiety disorders such as panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder.
- Depression – One of the most common mental illnesses co-occurring with addiction is major depressive disorder.

Levels of Care Offered
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Aftercare Support, Dual-Diagnosis, Intensive Outpatient, Intervention, Outpatient, with additional therapies available as listed below.
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.
IOP involves patients coming in and out of a medical office building regularly to receive therapy and other services while continuing their life outside of these visits.
IOP is a step up from drug detoxification or alcohol detox. However, it’s still considered a phase of recovery rather than the ultimate goal. There are many rehabs and treatment facilities available to patients in need of IOP.
Outpatient treatment can be considered the lowest intensity level of addiction treatment in Austin, TX. It is ideal for early phase addiction or lower intensity addictions. The Arbor - IOP peer group support, 12-step programs, and individual counseling are likely to be involved.
Intervention services can be beneficial for people who have not been able to overcome drug and alcohol addiction on their own. It is recommended for individuals whose addiction has led to dangerous or life-threatening circumstances.
Intervention services are beneficial for:
- People who have relapsed after completing other forms of addiction treatment.
- People with drug addictions that have led to dangerous health conditions, such as HIV.
- People who are at risk of losing their family, home, or job due to addiction.
- People who are having difficulty overcoming drug and alcohol addiction on their own.
- An intervention can be conducted by professionals, or by loved ones of an addict. If the person being intervened on agrees to enter addiction treatment after the intervention, the next step would be to choose a treatment program.
If they do not agree to enter addiction treatment after the intervention, loved ones may choose to go back to the drawing board and try another form of treatment. They may also choose to not receive any further treatment, but there are usually other factors in play that may make it difficult for people to stop using drugs or alcohol.
Aftercare support is vital to those who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program. This support comes in individual and family counseling, treatment of psychiatric and other medical conditions, and medications to reduce cravings. It helps recovering addicts adjust to normal day-to-day activities and can last for a year or longer.
The majority of drug and alcohol addicts who receive aftercare treatment do not relapse. It is estimated that without aftercare, the relapse rate will be between 70 to 90 percent for most people. Aftercare is the final stage in addiction recovery, but it will also help maintain sobriety if relapse does occur.

Benefits of individual therapy are:
- Access to a personalized treatment plan that focuses on the individual needs of the addict

Family therapy can help you and your family deal with old issues that may trigger substance abuse. The idea behind family therapy for drug addiction is that you are never fully healed from substance abuse until you’ve healed your relationship with your family, too. To get sober, you need to find a different way to cope with the pain in your life.
This is when a group of people in various stages of recovery meet up and discuss their experiences, triggers, successes, failures, and even alternative therapies! Unlike support groups where everyone already knows each other, group therapy is conducted along side outpatient or inpatient treatment at The Arbor - IOP.

Therapists use relaxation, role-playing, art, and music to help the person open up about what is bothering them. Some examples include:
- Talking about the traumatic event and how it affected them.
- Helping those who have PTSD to deal with their nightmares and recurring memories.
- Working with individuals to resolve the issues triggering the stress, whether seeing someone who reminds them of what happened or feeling helpless.
The individual is also encouraged to help others that are struggling with similar problems. This often helps them feel empowered and gives them hope.
Trauma therapy is not for everyone; it is usually reserved for people who have recently experienced a traumatic event and struggle to get over it. It is generally done for children, teenage victims of sexual assault, and war veterans.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is used by drug treatment centers across the United States to help drug addicts become sober. DBT is a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that combines traditional behavioral treatments with elements from DBT, including dialectics, distress tolerance, and interlocking issues. Some of the negative behaviors associated with addiction, such as impulsivity and mood swings, are addressed in DBT, while others like craving and isolation are not. It is commonly used to treat Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) along with substance abuse disorders.
The four DBT modules are mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance:
- Mindfulness helps recovering addicts learn to identify and experience their emotions while realizing that they are not permanent.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness includes assertiveness, asking for what you need, and saying no while improving communication skills.
- Distress Tolerance has recovering addicts learn how to tolerate distress at the moment and avoid resorting to substance abuse.
- Emotion Regulation is used to identify, express and change emotions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a treatment method that helps reduce the impact of traumatic memories on individuals. It involves following a bar of light or watching a therapist’s finger move back and forth. This mimics the eye movements of REM sleep, which allows the brain to reprocess memories. EMDR therapy is combined with behavioral therapies to address the root cause of the problem. This reduces the desire to escape painful memories with drugs.
EMDR is effective in reducing the craving one experiences while being treated for drug addiction. Studies have shown that patients who undergo this therapy use drugs less and stay sober for more extended periods than those who do not. It is also more beneficial than talk therapy and medication. This can be performed in combination with medications to reduce the adverse side effects. While some believe that it does not treat the root cause, studies have shown that therapy combined with medication brings in better results.
Those struggling with addiction can benefit from learning certain life skills. It is not as simple as quitting drinking or taking drugs and thinking that the hard part is over.

- Individuals who have already stopped drug/alcohol use, and are looking for a support system to maintain sobriety
- People who may be thinking about quitting their drug/alcohol use

Nutrition therapy has been used to help drug addicts for decades. Many early reports on addiction treatment indicate that some patients recovered from the “satisfying power of food”. For years, this phenomenon has been utilized as a treatment modality in eating disorders for adults, adolescents, and children. Specific nutrients have been identified that influence neurotransmitters associated with reward pathways of the brain.
Studies have shown that carbohydrate loading with complex carbohydrates to elevate serotonin levels was effective in treating bulimia nervosa. This approach prompted researchers to explore the use of this type of nutritional intervention in other disorders.

The therapy is often done with a patch, and doses of nicotine are reduced until nicotine is no longer needed. NRT helps smokers get nicotine into their system without resorting to smoking, and it has been shown to be an effective way to help people quit smoking. Coupling NRT with counseling and other means of support gives long-term smokers a better chance of removing their unhealthy habit.
Contingency Management (CM) offered at Drug Treatment Centers (DTCs) has reportedly improved retention rates for substance abuse treatment. CM is one of the most widely used behavioral approaches to improving drug addiction outcomes. The goal of CM is to change behavior by linking desired behaviors (such as abstinence) with some reward. Rewards are measured by reinforcing desired behaviors with tangible rewards, such as food vouchers or cash. Incentive programs have been used successfully in various settings, and research has suggested that they can increase engagement in health care.
One specific type of CM, termed low-level positive reinforcement (LPE), is a highly effective and low-cost treatment that has been used with populations across the intellectual and developmental spectrum for decades. LPE is based on the principle that reinforcing desired behavior will increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future. It is a form of behavioral therapy and teaching tool that has been used to help teach children with autism.
