Conditions and Issues Treated
Substance Abuse + Addiction Treatment
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 Family Works Psychological Center - Wilmington in Wilmington.
Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment
Opioid addiction treatment facilities like Family Works Psychological Center - Wilmington support people struggling with opioid dependency, which covers illegal and prescription opioids.
