Drug Abuse Help
When you need drug abuse help, there are a variety of options to consider. The option that is best for you is dependent upon the severity of your alcohol or drug use; that is, the type of drug you’re using, how much you use on a daily basis and how long you’ve been using it. At SouthCoast Recovery in Dana Point, California, we offer a variety of options to consider if you need drug abuse help.
Drug abuse may or not be drug addiction. Some people begin abuse drugs or alcohol in response to traumatic life situations, such as death, divorce or another significant loss that impacts their life in a profound manner. They may start using drugs or alcohol in a manner with which to escape or avoid dealing with painful emotions. If this pattern is interrupted early enough, it can stop drug abuse from crossing the line into drug addiction. This can be done through clinical therapy, psychotherapy, drug and alcohol counseling and introduction to healthier ways in which to handle traumatic life circumstances such as journaling or joining a support group.
Therapy is only one form of drug abuse help. Meeting with a therapist or counselor can offer insight into emotional issues that are contributing to drug abuse, yet it only offers a minimal level of support. Drug and alcohol treatment programs are varied and conducted in environments that range from residential facilities to clinical dependency hospital units depending on the level of care required. This can range from Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Inpatient detox and Inpatient care that can be either residential or clinical. IOP is a better choice for someone who is just beginning to require drug abuse help for emotional support rather than someone who needs to detox after prolonged drug abuse. These programs are generally led by a certified counselor in a group therapy format. Inpatient detox is generally conducted in alliance with an inpatient drug rehab care facility. SouthCoast Recovery in Dana Point, California, offers inpatient medical detox that safely severs physical dependency on drugs and alcohol in as comfortable a manner as possible in combination with acupuncture, massage and herbal remedies. This is followed by 24-hour care in our residential drug rehab center located in Dana Point, California, for 30, 60, 90 days and 6 month drug and alcohol treatment. This level of drug abuse help is primarily available for those who have been using drugs and alcohol on a heavy basis for an extended period of time.
