Long term drug addiction treatment available for individuals struggling with sobriety

Sobriety struggles aided by ong term drug addiction treatment

While there are many drug rehab facilities that offer drug addiction and alcohol treatment, there is one common downfall among many and, that is, lack of long term treatment with a sobriety plan for the future.

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center, a peaceful facility located in Canaan, Connecticut, offers a variety of different treatment options including effective long term drug addiction treatment.

“There are many programs available that focus on the immediate needs of an individual—that is, actually getting them into a program to address the physical withdrawals that are so common with drug rehab,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside. “Once the individual is in the program, they begin detox and then begin individual and group therapy for a pre-determined time. When that aspect of the program is finished, however, the individual is set free and instructed to attend a 12-step program daily. While those strategies have resulted in success, the most successful drug rehab program will take it a step further and offer an extended program for those who have struggled with sobriety in the past and for those who feel that they need that extra time in treatment. During the course of long term treatment, the professional team at Mountainside creates a plan for continued after care and, if necessary, outside referrals are made through our vast nationwide network. We have found this approach to drug addiction treatment to be highly successful and our continued sobriety rates prove this to be so.”

It’s advisable for an individual to incorporate 12-step programs into their recovery journey as those types of programs give an individual an extra layer of accountability. At times, continued one-on-one therapy may be necessary for many months or even years to come, as well. The importance of individualized after care is a crucial part of a person’s continued sobriety.

For nearly two decades, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has led the way in offering individualized alcohol and drug addiction treatment programs. Mountainside’s licensed and certified counselors, social workers and treatment team strive to provide quality, compassionate care to each individual in a tranquil, peaceful environment conducive to optimal recovery.

In addition to licensed and certified counselors and social workers, Mountainside provides medical services through an on-staff Nurse Practitioner and Registered nurse with specializations in drug addiction and alcohol treatment. Psychiatric services are also extended to clients in need.
