First step: recognize the addiction
Although there are people who may not consider this step relevant, or it may not seem so, recognizing the addiction is a first action of vital importance.
It means accepting that there is an addiction, that there is a disease and that one cannot continue running from it or pretending that there is no problem. An addicted person will often not want to face the harsh reality that their disease represents and, therefore, will not be recognizing their addiction.
Entering a detoxification center
Admission to a detox center will be essential, since addiction is a disease that requires treatment and the best way to do it is in a center. In this way, the patient will have ideal care and support to be able to recover. At CCAdicciones we have the best professionals specialized in addictions and an 86% recovery rate that are proof of the effectiveness of our treatments.
Whether it is a drug or behavioral addiction, at CCAdicciones we have treatments for any type of addiction. These are some of the most prominent drug treatments we provide: alcohol, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, ketamine, new drugs, and among behavioral addictions, treatments for addiction to compulsive shopping, sex, new technologies, or gambling stand out.
Begin treatment
As we said, beginning treatment is crucial, because we will start to put an end to the physical and mental deterioration caused by drugs. We will be in the hands of specialized medical personnel and that is what can help us most. Through treatment and its different phases we can manage to move forward.
Some of the main actions we carry out during treatment are our therapies, both individual therapy and group therapy. Each provides specific benefits and we rely on them so that our patient’s recovery is increasingly closer.
Individual therapy allows for much closer treatment and much greater knowledge of the patient in order to treat them in the best way. There will be a better diagnosis and, therefore, better treatment. In addition, individual therapy serves as a private space for the patient to open up, address all the issues that concern them, and their psychological problems derived from substance use.
Group therapy, among its many benefits we find: feeling and identifying as a member of a group, something that helps greatly in terms of self-esteem and serves to strengthen bonds. These therapies also promote behavioral, cognitive, and systemic changes in patients’ lives. Likewise, listening to and learning about stories similar to those one has experienced will serve to feel understood and understand that one can overcome addiction. Because there is a way out of addiction and one must believe it.
Likewise, at CCAdicciones we also conduct sports therapies. Despite the benefits we can quickly find with all these therapies, leaving addiction behind is not simple; it requires time and effort. These are the different phases of treatment through which the drug-dependent person will go: detoxification, habituation breaking, rehabilitation, reintegration.
And what do the treatment phases consist of?
Detoxification: It is the first phase of treatment. When one is admitted, they must stop using, but one must be very careful at this stage because withdrawal syndromes with serious consequences may appear. Sometimes medications are used during this stage, in addition to strict health monitoring to take maximum care of the patient’s health.
Habituation breaking: Through therapies, one must try to break routines. Generate a change in perception of a patient who has very integrated drug use and the toxic habits that the substance has generated in their behavior.
Rehabilitation: During this third stage of the process, the main objective is for the patient to work on the attitudes and aptitudes they have lost during their illness. During an addiction, the physical condition usually deteriorates and psychological problems arise. It is necessary to recover from all this in order to lead a healthy life again. Normally, rehabilitation continues after leaving the detox center.
Reintegration: It is the last phase and its purpose is for the addicted patient to return to their daily life normally and in an organized manner and resume the activities they used to do. It means returning to their environment and starting their life over. In any case, this phase is accompanied by follow-up and outpatient treatments that are very helpful in facilitating reintegration.
Day center or therapeutic apartments
If one cannot be admitted to a center, for whatever reason, at CCAdicciones we offer the possibility of attending our day centers. It is an alternative to continue addiction treatment without being admitted to a center.
On the other hand, there are also therapeutic apartments, where patients reside during their reintegration, when they are relearning to live life without substance use. When they are in these apartments, patients are always in contact with the medical and therapeutic team at CCAdicciones, who monitor each person’s progress.
