Drug addiction is prevalent in millions of Americans and the consequences that arise from addiction are often dangerous and severe to those that suffer from addiction and for people that are around them. It is very common that the individual using drugs is often the last to admit that they need help or recognize that treatment is an option. The fact is this - drug addiction is uncontrollable and treatment is needed for anyone that wants to stop.
One common trait of drug addiction is that the individual using drugs loses the ability to identify their problem and often begins to lose the ability of rational thought when it comes to their circumstances and possible solutions. Denial seeps into the individual's thoughts and makes helping the individual a challenge for those close to them.
If you use drugs regularly - then you need treatment - that is the bottom line. The threats of continued progression and more severe consequences are real and the best way to stop using drugs is through treatment. All too often an individual makes continued promises and commitments that they will either alter or stop their addiction - only to find out that they cannot. Professional help is needed.
The treatment for drug addiction is complex and Mountainside Addiction Treatment Center has been a leader in the field of addiction treatment for more than 10 years. Using an individual approach, each client undergoes an extensive personal assessment and bio-psych social evaluation before a custom treatment plan is designed. As the needs change - so does the plan.

With diverse areas of expertise, the treatment team works collaboratively with each client and their family to ensure that an individualized treatment plan is designed that will treat not just the symptoms, but the whole individual.
