What We Treat
Each addictive substance is different, producing its own effects on the brain and body as well as its own symptoms. Because of these differences, treatment and detox for each substance also varies. At Lakeview Health Systems, we have specialized detox programs for many different drugs types as well as personalized treatment plans to help you overcome your addiction(s).
Please note: These are just some of the more common addictions we treat. There are dozens of addictive substances with which we can help. We also treat psychiatric disorders, such as depression or anxiety disorder. For more information about the complete range of what we treat, please contact an Admissions Coordinator at 1-800-884-1727.
Alcohol
Due to its easy availability and legality, alcohol is a commonly abused substance. Chronic alcohol abuse as well as mixing it with other drugs can lead to severe health complications.
Cocaine and Crack Cocaine
Cocaine, one of the most popular street drugs, is a highly addictive stimulant. It is even more addictive in its freebase form, crack.
Crystal Meth
Crystal meth is a dangerous and extremely habit-forming street drug. Its potency and reliability vary widely due to its manufacture in small home labs.
Heroin
Heroin, an illegal opiate, has a high potential for addiction and dependency. Detox and treatment from the drug should be supervised by addiction treatment professionals.
Prescription Drugs
Even if they are prescribed for a medical reason, prescription drugs can be habit forming. They have a wide range of effects, each of which needs to be handled differently during treatment.
Ecstasy
Ecstasy is a popular drug in the “rave” or all-night dance party scene. The substance increases body temperature and can cause overheating or heatstroke, especially if the user is in a hot, crowded setting such as a club.
LSD
LSD, also known as acid, is a hallucinogen generally taken in the form of small paper squares soaked in the substance called “tabs.” Years after a person’s last use, he can experience a dangerous and uncomfortable “flashback” of the drug’s effects.
Marijuana
Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug, especially among teenagers and young adults. Often called “the gateway drug”, its use often leads to the use or abuse of other illegal drugs.ne
PCP
PCP is a dangerous drug, particularly because of actions users take when they are under its influence. Due to a reported feeling of invincibility, PCP users have high rates of suicide and accidental death.
