Withdrawal symptoms vary depending on what substance a person is using, how long they have abused drugs or alcohol, and factors like their age and medical history. Some common withdrawal symptoms can include the following:
For those who are battling serious addictions to heroin, alcohol, or other drugs, Texas residential drug and alcohol addiction treatment is often the best option for recovery. This form of treatment immerses patients fully in recovery, providing time and space from daily pressures of home to properly heal, develop self-confidence, and re-learn important life skills.
Residential drug and alcohol addiction rehab patients also have the benefit of being fully supervised within a safe environment of trust and understanding. Our medical team and other experienced staff members ensure that each patient receives the care they need. During the most vulnerable times of recovery, such as immediately following medical detoxification, this kind of environment can be the best place for our clients to start on the road to a successful recovery. Contact us at 866.514.0275 to learn more today.
Residential drug and alcohol addiction treatment can ensure that those undergoing treatment are able to firmly establish themselves in long term sobriety with adequate skills development, before once again being in close proximity to old temptations and familiar scenes. This environmental program variation can mean the difference between achieving sobriety or falling back into substance abuse.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the most effective treatment should be individualized to the patient, should combine both medical interventions and behavioral therapy, and should include strategies for long-term sobriety. At San Antonio Recovery Center, we offer all of this and more in our Texas residential program.
In a residential drug and alcohol addiction treatment program in Texas, patients are provided with comfort in recovery away from outside distractions. They are therefore able to focus on self-examination, building life skills, socialization with peers in recovery, and development of the right mindset to really want a fulfilling sober life.
Peers play an important role in inpatient or residential drug and alcohol addiction treatment. It’s through shared experiences, group counseling, and learning to live harmoniously with others that our clients form some of the most positive and supportive bonds of their lifetime.
These peers become a steadfast source of support when those in recovery leave treatment for their new sober lives in their home communities of Texas. There are things these peers understand that families and other loved ones never will as the bond of recovery is established. This removes the shield of isolation that addiction presents.
Over the course of an addiction, chemicals from the consumed substance cause the brain and body to adapt. At first, the body is not used to the presence of a substance, allowing for quick and potent highs. Yet over time, the body becomes dependent on the drug and it takes more to feel the same effects. As the body builds tolerance, the brain drives cravings, which in turn fuels the vicious cycle of addiction.
Drug detox is the process of removing toxins from the body, which can include drugs and alcohol. Freeing the body and mind of toxins starts the healing process.
When a physical dependency is unfulfilled, the affected person undergoes withdrawal. Withdrawal is particularly severe for heavy users, and for users of alcohol, heroin, and benzodiazepines. This severity is dangerous not only to a person’s health but also to their recovery. If a person undergoes withdrawal but has access to their substance of choice, the urge to relapse will be very strong. Withdrawal is the first and perhaps the most difficult roadblock to your recovery.
Withdrawal symptoms vary depending on what substance a person is using, how long they have abused drugs or alcohol, and factors like their age and medical history. Some common withdrawal symptoms can include the following:
Detox starts with withdrawal, which can last anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. The benefit of detox is that it takes place in a secure, medically monitored environment. Some withdrawal symptoms, like seizures or delirium tremens (for alcoholics), can be fatal if left untreated. Medical professionals monitor detox patients 24/7 to keep them comfortable and safe as their body purges the addictive substance.
Inpatient rehab programs provide a drug-free place to stay for anyone during addiction recovery.
According to SAMHSA, nearly 20 million people in the United States struggle with substance abuse. And of that number, many will never seek treatment. In fact, in 2018, only about 11% of individuals who needed treatment received professional help.
Why do people not receive the treatment they need? They could be concerned about the cost, the perceived social stigma of going to rehab, or whether or not they will relapse. However, these fears about drug and alcohol addiction treatment do not have to come true. Spending time in a residential program is actually one of the factors that can lead to lasting sobriety. The cost of rehab is often covered by insurance. And through time in group and individual therapy, patients learn how to rebuild relationships with their family and friends.
