Detox, aftercare and addiction treatment

Addiction Treatment

We build an entire support network to ensure that a patient has the best possible chance at staying sober

The family is invovled with the addiction treatment proccessSerious addiction problems can have a devastating effect not just on the individual suffering from the addiction, but to the person’s friends and family as well. Without addiction treatment that addresses the root problem, provides realistic goals and support, and includes the victim’s loved ones as part of the healing process, the chances of recovery are much more unlikely. At the Delray Recovery Center, we don’t just stop at ending the addiction, we build an entire support network to ensure that a patient has the best possible chance at staying sober for the long term while rebuilding relationships with family. Addiction treatment does not just mean treatment of drug abuse; we also provide services to treat alcoholism, eating disorders, prescription drug addiction as well as addressing secondary issues stemming from the addiction such as depression, insomnia and anxiety. We know that focusing on just one aspect of addiction rather than looking at the bigger picture will only cover up the problem for the short term.

The necessary step to stop addiction and begin the process of recovery

Delray begins those steps by providing clinical healthcare support and methods of treatment that combine traditional, holistic and alternative techniques. These techniques have been shown to provide a better foundation for recovery from substance abuse.  At Delray Recovery Center, we involve the family in the process of treatment. Guilt, confusion and tension almost always results throughout a family when a loved one has an addiction problem that they can’t solve by themselves. With education and insight by experts, psychiatrists, and doctors, families and patient alike will learn to understand their specific addiction and the steps to take to healing the bond that may have been frayed or even broken during the overwhelming circumstances of drug, alcohol or other addiction problems.Families will receive the support they need to better help their loved one in the recovery process.

Detox, aftercare and addiction treatment

Treatment begins with a safe, clinically supervised detoxification process, during which time physicians, trained clinical workers and psychiatrists are always there to ensure a patient is getting the medical and emotional support they need. Frequent drug testing and monitoring during the detoxification process helps to ensure that the patient is staying sober for the transition into recovery. An individualized plan is then worked out, which may use several treatment methods and techniques best suited for each patient. Addiction treatment therapy methods such as Existential Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Narrative Therapy and others are combined to provide a complete addiction treatment approach. Workshops to help with life skills and coping skills will also begin to help the patient re-adjust to the idea of being successful without being dependent on a substance. Educational seminars are also available for patients, and once a client leaves the Delray Recovery Center, we continued to provide follow up and after care support to ensure that sobriety will be for the long term, and to help address any reoccurring addiction problems in the future.
