Chemical Dependency Treatment Plans And How They Work At Delray Recovery Center

No matter how the chemical dependency begins, it has devastating effects on the user and his or her family. That is why is it important to seek the proper chemical dependency treatment plans when the goal is to change behavior for a successful new life. That is what treatment should focus on. Here at Delray Recovery Center, we focus on treating the underlying problems as well as the chemical dependency.

We provide a safe environment for the chemical dependent patient. Our facilities mimic a home atmosphere. We concentrate, first, on detoxification of the patient. Detox is a very dangerous time, especially for hardcore drug and alcohol users. We at Delray Recovery Center understand the difficulty in removing the offending chemicals from the body.

The National Institute for Drug Abuse reported that in 2009, 23.5 million people 12 years old and up needed treatment for drug and/or alcohol abuse. Many of those people have entered treatment facilities on several occasions because they are unable to “stay clean” once released from inpatient care. It is absolutely critical for patients to receive intense drug and/or alcohol treatment in order to achieve success.

Well-meaning families attempt to deal with the addicted family member without outside help. This usually turns into a disaster because the family believes they have the power to change the behavior with love. Love is a powerful thing, but drug or alcohol addiction is much stronger. Addicts need stronger, targeted treatment than a family is able to provide. The addict has already disassociated him or herself from acting appropriately, even though they truly wish to change the behavior. Addiction goes much deeper than that. The brain of an addict only cares about one thing. That one thing is the next fix.

We provide the extensive treatment necessary for complete success in overcoming drug and alcohol abuse for clients. Our treatment includes a strong support system for the addict to move safely through the detoxification process, assessments to determine the underlying causes of the addictive behavior and finally, individual and group therapy sessions for clients.

Individual and group sessions include activities for the group to not only deal with the thoughts and feelings of each person, but to help each person transition back to normal life after the chemical dependency treatment is finalized. We help clients avoid possible relapse with a chemical dependency treatment with a program that helps identify possible triggers for each person. A plan for the client is laid out so there is less chance for relapse in the future.

Far too many people suffer from chemical dependency to ignore the problem. The fact is chemical dependency destroys families and lives. It is a deadly addiction. Chemical dependency treatment plans from Delray Recovery Center can make the difference between life and death. For more information, call us today at our toll-free number for a new beginning.
