Drug Addiction Treatment in Our Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Program
Drug addiction treatment at Lakeview Health Systems addiction treatment center located in Jacksonville, Florida specializes in the treatment of drug addiction, alcoholism and dual diagnosis. Nationally recognized as an addiction treatment center of excellence, our clinical programs differ in intensity and duration, with each level of care focused on helping you discover the issues and manage the feelings that lie at the very core of your illness.
Every patient admitted to Lakeview receives a thorough medical, psychological and psychiatric evaluation. This evaluation, coupled with the nursing and clinical assessment, allows for the development of an effective, individualized addiction treatment plan. As you progress through our drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, your addiction treatment plan will be modified to meet your individual needs. Individualized addiction treatment has been recognized as one of our greatest strengths by those who have been involved with our drug addiction treatment and alcohol rehab programs.
Drug Addiction Treatment and the Medical Detox Program
The initial phase of our drug addiction treatment and alcohol rehabilitation program would be the drug detox program or alcohol detoxification program. If we have determined that you are in need of drug detoxification or alcohol detox, you will be evaluated by one of our board certified physicians who will design a detox protocol to manage your withdrawal symptoms. There are two goals in our medical detox program; medical stabilization and the assessment of each patient to determine their need for ongoing addiction treatment.
Drug Addiction Treatment and Rehabilitation
The drug addiction treatment and alcohol detox program is followed by our drug rehabilitation program or drug rehab program for short. The drug rehab program at Lakeview is designed to maintain the gains realized in detox, while developing the coping skills necessary to maintain long term recovery. Patients continually marvel at the clinical creativity displayed at our Florida drug rehab. Rather than spend every day inside the addiction treatment center, Lakeview was designed to take advantage of the beautiful weather Florida has to offer. Recreational therapy and experiential therapy both play an important role in the development of a powerful drug addiction treatment experience at Lakeview.
For those individuals who happen to have a psychiatric disorder in conjunction with a drug addiction or alcohol addiction (dual diagnosis), admission to our dual diagnosis treatment component provides for the most effective treatment. When it comes to providing dual diagnosis treatment, we believe in treating both disorders concurrently. If either disorder is left untreated the end result will be a return to unhealthy behavior or relapse.
Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment and the Family
One of the most valued of Lakeview's drug rehab program components is the Family Recovery Program. Realizing the devastating effects drug addiction and alcoholism can have on the entire family; we have gone to great lengths to insure that the family experiences the benefits that quality substance abuse treatment has to offer. This four day family program helps the family to accept, forgive and effectively communicate their feelings associated with their loved one's addiction. Families will learn how to set limits and boundaries and not fall into the all too familiar pattern of enabling. Recognized by addiction treatment professionals nationwide, Lakeview's Family Recovery Program has brought together thousands of families that drugs and alcohol have torn apart.
After our Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment Program
Alcohol and drug addiction treatment does not end with the completion of our drug rehab program. It requires many months to develop a firm foundation to appreciate recovery. At Lakeview, we feel that continued drug and alcohol treatment on an outpatient basis, in conjunction with attendance at 12-step meetings are the most effective ways to maintain recovery.
Prior to discharging from our drug and alcohol rehab program, the addiction treatment staff will develop an aftercare or drug relapse prevention plan for you. This relapse prevention plan is designed to address your recovery needs after discharge from the drug rehab program. If followed, your chances of maintaining your recovery are excellent.
Secondly, Lakeview has established an exciting and supportive alumni program. Our Alumni Coordinator will meet with you several times during your stay in our drug rehab in an effort to establish an honest long lasting relationship. You can expect the Alumni Coordinator to remain in touch with you throughout the year in an effort to provide continuing support after completing Lakeview's drug rehab program.
