Drug and Alcohol Abuse

Problems with drug addiction, and alcohol addiction, begin with substance abuse. Substance abuse is a use of drugs or alcohol to the point where it begins to affect the user's life, including career, family, or relationships.

Abuse can quickly turn to the need for addiction help, as the brain relies more and more on the use of the drug to achieve "highs" normally provided naturally by the body. The abuser can become physically dependent on the substance, develop a tolerance, and become addicted—a constant craving, seeking and using of drugs, despite the negative consequences of such drug use.

Drug Addiction Help

The safest way to stop drug addiction is to seek addiction help—it is not recommended that abusers go through the process alone. Addiction help centers can offer detoxification programs, which allow the abuser to stop drug use while under medical supervision. This allows the addiction help program physician to administer medications, which can alleviate or eliminate withdrawal symptoms.

After detox, clients will proceed to the rehabilitation portion of addiction help, participating in programs such as psychological counseling, relapse prevention and pharmacological (medicinal) treatments.

Women and Rehab

For women struggling with drug addiction, or alcohol addiction, there is unique set of circumstances and issues. A high percentage of women in need of addiction help are wives and mothers. Some females in addiction treatment are dealing with past issues of abuse or trauma, or have another mental health problem, such as an eating disorder.

At The Women's Center for Healthy Living, our women's addiction help center offers programs specifically geared towards women—helping our female clients deal with female-specific issues. Clients in our addiction help program can participate in specialized women's group therapy, recreational activities, yoga, meditation, family therapy and more.
