Struggling with drugs you never thought would take over?
We see you, and we know recovery is possible—no matter how far things have gone.
Let us walk beside you, with treatment that heals both the mind and body.
The Drugs of Abuse
The drugs of abuse include alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, club drugs, opiates, hallucinogens, inhalants, stimulants, benzodiazepines, and more commonly than ever, prescription drugs.
Prescription drugs commonly abused include those for anxiety and painkillers. These drugs present many ways they can be abused. Many try these drugs recreationally, aiming for a brief escape or fun. Sometimes, injury or life challenges lead someone to begin using. But it can take only one experience to spark addiction. Breaking the cycle of addiction is one of the hardest things a person can do—but it’s entirely possible with professional inpatient rehab support.
Making the Decision to Break the Cycle
Choosing rehab is often the hardest—and most important—decision you’ll make. Long-term drug use can destroy relationships, health, careers, and even lives. But the damage isn’t permanent. The decision to stop using can mark the beginning of a new, vibrant life. The sooner you act, the sooner healing begins.
Inpatient Rehabs Work Wonders if You are Suffering From the Drugs of Abuse
Inpatient rehabs are equipped to treat all types of drug addiction. These programs are available across the U.S. and vary in length from 30 days to a year or more, depending on personal needs and the type of substance.
Your treatment starts with a thorough assessment to understand your medical and emotional needs. From there, a customized plan is built around you.
Detox is often the first step. In inpatient care, medical professionals are on hand around the clock to guide you through withdrawal safely and with as much comfort as possible.
Therapy and Counseling
Once detox is complete, therapy begins. Individual counseling helps you explore the roots of your addiction and develop new coping strategies. Group therapy provides peer support and shared healing. Treatment may also include physical activity, nutrition guidance, and wellness education.
Teen Drug Abuse and Early Intervention
Teens often try drugs due to peer pressure. If you suspect your child is struggling with substance use, approach them calmly and compassionately. Discovering the root cause—whether it’s social, genetic, or emotional—is key.
Teaching confidence and goal-setting at a young age reduces the risk of addiction. Kids with purpose and inner strength are less likely to turn to drugs as a coping mechanism.
