Drug Treatment

Drug treatment is the process by which an individual abusing or addicted to drugs or alcohol takes part in detoxification and therapy to stop using and stay clean and sober.

There is a consensus in the medical community that no one single drug treatment plan fits all clients. A successful drug treatment program is customized and addresses all the needs of that client. This individualized drug treatment is the hallmark of Lakeview’s nationally recognized center.

After a detoxification process, in which a client will stop using drugs or alcohol, a drug treatment plan, is formed. This plan will include some type of behavioral therapy, counseling and medication to assist the client in drug treatment. The drug treatment plan also will take into account any co-occurring medical and psychiatric disorders and treat them accordingly.

The drug treatment plan must remain adjustable to accommodate the changing needs of the client, but a client must remain in treatment for an ample amount of time in order for the drug treatment to be successful. According to the NIDA, those in drug treatment for more than 60 days have greater chance of success than those that stop drug treatment before they have reached a 60-day period.

At Lakeview Health Systems, we want our clients to achieve success. Call about our nationally-recognized drug treatment program at 1-800-657-4357. Our drug treatment facility in sunny Florida is the ideal place to recover from drug or alcohol addiction.

A drug treatment program will also address infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis. These infectious diseases are often contracted through the sharing of needles or other high risk behaviors. One aspect of the patient’s drug treatment recovery plan is to educate them on eliminating high risk behavior from their recovery life.

During drug treatment there are two instances when medications may be used. First, during the detoxification process, medications can be used to ease the withdrawal symptoms. Detoxification is not in itself drug treatment, but a precursor to drug treatment.

Secondly, medication can be used during drug treatment to help diminish and help restore the brain's normal functions that have been damaged from the addiction. There are several effective drugs in use today to treat heroin and morphine addiction, which are used at Lakeview on an individual basis. Development is under way for drug treatment medications for addiction to cocaine, marijuana and crystal meth.

In addiction to medical drug treatment, clients benefit from cognitive behavioral and experiential therapy. Behavioral therapy helps clients learn new behaviors that are not destructive as they relate to drug abuse and overall healthy life skills. The second type of therapy, experiential therapy, helps individuals address the pain of the past so it no longer controls the present.

The most effective drug treatment, therefore, exists with a continuum of care. That means a drug treatment center will address each client's issues as they relate to medical and mental health, family recovery, relapse prevention, and other follow-up options. At Lakeview Health Systems, our drug treatment programs help you achieve success. We offer a continuum of care that extends beyond the daily drug treatment processes and extends to a program to help families dealing with a loved on in drug treatment.
