Are medications used on patients when treating them for substance abuse and addiction?

Yes, in most cases. Diverse types of medications can be beneficial at various stages of the treatment process to help patients stop abusing drugs, stay in treatment, and prevent relapse.

Stage 1: Treating withdrawal symptoms. When patients first stop using the substance they have been addicted to, they can experience symptoms that can include physical and emotional discomfort, such as restlessness, sleeplessness, depression, and anxiety. However, certain medications can help alleviate these symptoms, making it easier for patients to stop using the substance.

Stage 2: Staying on course with treatment. Some treatment medications and mobile applications can help the brain adapt to the absence of a substance. These treatments work gradually to prevent substance cravings and have a calming effect on the body's systems. By reducing cravings, patients can focus on counseling and other psychotherapies related to their substance abuse treatment.

Stage 3: Preventing trigger for relapse. The science behind substance abuse triggers and relapse tells us that stress cues, such as people, places, things, and moods, as well as contact with substances, are the most common triggers for relapse. To help patients stay in recovery, behavioral therapies are used to interfere with these triggers.

Yes. The potential consequences of a mother's substance or medication use during pregnancy can include neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in the baby after birth. Symptoms of NAS may include tremors, problems with sleeping and feeding, and even seizures, depending on the substance used. Some drug-exposed children may also experience developmental problems with behavior, attention, and thinking, and ongoing research is exploring if these effects extend into the teen years. Additionally, some substances can make their way into a mother's breast milk, and scientists are still learning about the long-term effects on a child who is exposed to drugs through breastfeeding.

What are the principles of effective treatment?

An effective substance abuse treatment should encompass 3-phases into the substance abuse treatment process. At Rise in Glendale Sobriety Center, we use a 3-phase process to help patients overcome substance abuse addiction.

They are:

Phase 1: Medical Detoxification

We provide an inpatient, detoxification process through a medically supervised environment that encompasses three essential intervention components aimed at managing acute intoxication and withdrawal while clearing of toxins from the body of the patient who is highly dependent on substances of abuse.

Phase 2: Treatment Program

After detox, our medical addiction team will create an individualized substance abuse treatment plan to address addiction disorders, dependency and triggers that cause relapses. Because addiction can affect so many aspects of a person's life, our counselors and therapists address the needs of the whole person.

Phase 3: Aftercare Plan

Those who complete an inpatient medical detox and substance abuse treatment program together, will have a greater success of staying sober without relapses. After comprehensive treatment, we ensure that each patient departs with an aftercare support plan as they transition back home, giving them the best opportunity to live happy, healthy lives free from addiction.

Our successful behavioral therapies and research-based methods will help them return to living in a productive functioning environment within their family, workplace, and society.
Can substance abuse addiction be cured?
The nature of substance abuse treatment is a way of managing the condition, rather than a cure. Similar to treatment for other chronic diseases such as heart disease or asthma, inpatient substance abuse treatment combined with behavioral therapies can help individuals counteract addiction's disruptive effects on their brain and behavior, helping the person regain control of their lives.
Does relapse to substance use mean treatment has failed?
The recurring environment of addiction and the possibility of relapse, in some cases, can be a part of the recovery process for some individuals. Having a relapse does not necessarily mean that treatment has failed. Instead, specialized treatment plans combined with supervised behavioral therapies are designed to help with relapse prevention and to support individuals in their ongoing recovery efforts.

Substance abuse treatment rehabilitation is a term used to describe the processes of medical or psychotherapeutic treatment for individuals who are dependent on psychoactive substances such as alcohol, prescription drugs, and street drugs.

The treatment process can help individuals confront substance dependence and cease substance abuse to avoid the negative consequences that can arise from extreme abuse and addiction to such substances.
