Addictions are hard to treat, and it can be especially hard without the help of professional doctors, nurses and psychiatrists. Freedom Center knows how tough it can be, but their staff is highly experienced in treating addictions, drug problems and alcohol dependence. They also have a detox program for people who want to stop using drugs. There are many programs around the United States that have addiction treatment services, but the Freedom Center has a 70 percent success rate of patients leaving clean and staying clean.
Addiction is a brain disease. Drugs have chemicals that trigger the brain into wanting more and more. That is why it is very hard for some people to stop using drugs. After a while, the body and brain want the drugs to keep feeling the same “good” feeling. Professional treatment is necessary for people who cannot quit on their own. Medication may be given to those who cannot let go of the cravings. However, with the help of Freedom Center, a person has a good chance of leaving clean and staying that way. Drugs can be very harmful to the brain and the body, so it is very important for people to seek medical help to stop their addiction.
While addicts may feel that their problem is one that does not affect others, they may be surprised to find out how wrong they are. Not only are family and friends losing a loved one, but taxpayers pay for addicts mistakes every day. For example, $180 billion dollars each year goes to health care, the criminal justice system and loss of productivity in the workplace when addicts get into trouble. Another $165 billion goes to tobacco related expenses and another $185 goes to alcoholism.
Addiction treatment services depend on the addiction. Drug addiction will not be treated the same way as alcoholism. Different drugs will also be treated differently, and each person’s health will determine if they require cognitive or behavior therapy. Medication is also considered in some cases. There are also inpatient and outpatient facilities, depending on the condition of the patient as well. Time spent at a facility may be for a short period or months if necessary. There are many different programs available, but the professionals at the treatment centers should be able to find one suitable for their patients.
Drug or alcohol addiction is a hard thing to fight, but here at the Freedom Center, we work with our patients to help them fight the temptations in the real world. Once they leave this treatment center, they will know how to avoid bad situations, communicate better with others, improve their problem solving skills, restore their morals and responsibility and take control of their health. Our addiction treatment services are the best and we treat every patient with the best possible care with the best medical staff. It is our goal for patients to leave confident about their clean and healthy future.
