Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment at Advocates Community Counseling - Framingham
With so many people struggling with opioid addiction, opioid addiction treatment is more critical than ever before. Patients often take opioids when they face a painful injury. When someone begins taking opioids such as Vicodin or oxycodone differently than how the medications were prescribed, this points to opioid addiction.
Stopping these types of medications abruptly is not safe. That is where opioid addiction treatment at Advocates Community Counseling - Framingham in Framingham, MA comes in. Most opioid addiction treatment facilities start with detox and move to rehabilitation services while providing medical support during the process.
Getting over an opioid addiction takes time and determination, but with the right support and resources, those struggling with opioid addiction can recover and move forward with their lives.
Dual-Diagnosis
An underlying cause often brings about addiction. Mental disorders can lie at the center, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or anxiety disorder. As well as the cause of the addiction, a dual diagnosis by Advocates Community Counseling - Framingham helps to treat the addiction. This ensures that after treatment is complete, the patient will not fall back on old practices.
Levels of Care
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Detox, Drug Rehab, Dual-Diagnosis, Outpatient, 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.
Outpatient treatment is treatment that occurs when a patient is not checked into a rehab facility. The patient may show up for therapy sessions, go through detox and engage in other therapies to help them recover. However, they will do so while they live at home in Massachusetts.
Outpatient therapy provided by Advocates Community Counseling - Framingham is usually recommended as a follow up to inpatient therapy. It helps patients adapt to their normal lives after treatment. In some cases, it can also be an alternative to inpatient treatment. People may choose this route if they are unable to leave their jobs, children or if they don’t have the money for inpatient treatment. However, inpatient treatment is the best way to recover from addiction.
Therapies & Programs

Individual therapy allows for more privacy, one that group interactions can’t provide. Therefore, it becomes easier for a person to unload and become more open to his or her counselor.
Another benefit of individual therapy at Advocates Community Counseling - Framingham in Framingham, MA is that all sessions aim to speed up a single person’s progress. It makes it easier for the counselor and the patient to deal with the central issues, which are likely the culprits of substance addiction.

These therapy sessions at Advocates Community Counseling - Framingham in Framingham, MA involve all members of the family who play a role in the recovering person’s daily life.
