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.
To assist with alcohol or opioid abuse, or a co-occurring condition, Genesis Recovery Services offers an outpatient treatment program. For their rehabilitation and other services, the Minnesota patient will go to the treatment center, yet return home every night. After most of the program is completed, the level of mandatory participation reduces.
Most people with addiction in Duluth do not readily recognize that they need help. Family and friends need to take action and express their concern over their loved one’s well-being. It’s best to seek specialists like Genesis Recovery Services, who provide intervention services.

Therapies & Programs
Therapy plays a major role in addiction recovery. It encourages patients to get to the root of their addiction and learn how to better handle the issues that led to using. Therapy can be conducted in group and one on one settings. In Genesis Recovery Services‘s individual therapy, the patient meets with the therapist in a one on one setting. This allows them to focus on the underlying issues of addiction and come up with solutions to prevent future abuse.
One of the most common areas of stress and damage during addiction is in intimate relationships. Addiction involves everyone in a family, not only the addict. Couples therapy can rebuild trust and joy that may have been damaged.
When the whole family is involved, healing can be far more successful. Family counseling involves genetic factors to the family of the addict. This offers the means to cope with addiction and its underlying emotional disorders for loved ones. It is a helpful method for addicts in helping to adjust to sober living.
Trauma therapy allows people who struggled with a past trauma to face the situation and learn to overcome the situation.

Contingency management is a way to help motivate someone to remain substance free. It is a process Genesis Recovery Services uses which involves rewarding positive choices and good outcomes. As humans we are wired to recreate experiences that lead to positive feelings.
