Naltrexone Medication is Combined with Spiritual, Physical and Therapeutic Processes at California Drug Rehab
Sunrise Recovery Ranch Naltrexone, Subutex and proven methods to treat the body, mind, and spirit
Recent interest in the media and society as to the effectiveness of Naltrexone medication has led some people to pin their hopes that it is a "miracle drug" that will make the process of quitting drinking easy for an alcoholic.
The staff at Sunrise Recovery Ranch, a California drug rehab located in Riverside, have been integrating medications like Naltrexone, Vivitrol, and Subutex for several years into the treatment process - but only as a small component of a holistic process.
At Sunrise Recovery Ranch, the medications are merely a tool to help facilitate the healing which comes from therapeutic treatment and participation in support groups. There is also a high priority placed on physical and spiritual rehab activities because these help the recovering man build self esteem.
Treating the Entire Person
The addiction experts at Sunrise Recovery Ranch know that medications like Subutex, Naltrexone and others have been shown to reduce the likelihood of relapse in individuals who've participated in scientific control groups. However, to truly achieve long term sobriety, the staff knows that the men in Sunrise Recovery Ranch's treatment program must change their behaviors and outlook on life.
The medications are administered in early sobriety, but the spiritual and therapeutic activities are what instigate the life changing shift in perception that the men who maintain sobriety have. The men who come to Sunrise Recovery Ranch are usually very addicted to either drugs or alcohol and it requires a high level of motivation to achieve long term sobriety. People who think that taking a pill will singlehandedly help them quit drinking or abusing drugs will probably be disappointed at the results if they do not couple the medication with a program of recovery that addresses the underlying issues fueling the addiction as well as a support group that can rally around the person who is trying to change their life.
