Programs - Addiction Treatment & Drug Rehab ProgramsOur drug addiction and alcohol rehab programs provide help for all areas of drug treatment and recovery. The drug rehab programs at CTC provide the client with a set of proven and successful drug treatment tools and support. We have drug rehabilitation and treatment professionals who are experienced in the different areas of drug addiction treatment and alcohol rehab. WHAT MAKES COMEBACK TREATMENT CENTER A UNIQUE DRUG REHAB PROGRAM, AND WHY SHOULD I GO THERE? CTC has one mission in regards to its clients: CTC has four unique program features: 1. 'Individual Coaching' CTC is a drug rehab program that emphasizes that each client gets a better chance to recover from substance abuse with its trademark INDIVIDUAL COACHING concept of treatment. Most responsible drug rehab centers offer detox, individual counseling, peer groups, drug and alcohol education and self-awareness-spiritual workshops; dual diagnostic services are available also. However, the founders of CTC discovered years ago that 'mentoring' and personal attention for each client far exceeds the usual services typical of residential drug rehab. INDIVIDUAL COACHING is far more effective than any other drug therapy 'tool.' It is like a personal trainer, or like having a coach looking over your shoulder showing you what you are doing right, and what you should work on. CTC is a quality drug rehab that stands apart in its work with a wide variety of clientele: dually addicted, dual diagnostic, and those whose addictions have been chronic for years. In addition to the usual treatment services, each CTC client has the opportunity to pick his 'coach' from the line up of CTC staff. We encourage that he make his selection based on the number of areas he can relate to in the person he chooses. His 'coach' advises, provides feedback, supports and personally 'pulls' for his charge from that point on.
Staff in drug rehabs today is a critical component in helping someone learn to stay off drugs. They impact the quality of care more than anything else. Fact is, however, intellectual lessons about the 'affects of drugs,' or relapse prevention, or any other topic about drug rehab will not travel far with someone who does not have the desire to change. (Every addict, and dual diagnostic client, deep down, thinks he's 'different' from his fellows and what works for others, will not work for him.) So, aside from the full compliment of professional staff, clients of CTC will also frequently encounter staff members “who have been there.” Some of these team members were dual diagnosed themselves at one time. Sharing first hand experiences about drug rehab and how they transform despair and anger into motivation is a powerful influence. Dual Diagnosis CTC offers clients with special needs a dual diagnostic tract. This is a 28-84 day program. People who display dual diagnostic symptoms, or it is communicated during assessment that they have had a history of psychological services, are scheduled first for an evaluation by our team psychiatrist. The history of medications, past and current is reviewed, and the dual diagnostic client is prescribed appropriate medications to achieve balance. Those who fall in the dual diagnostic category of drug rehab treatment is on the rise today in drug rehab centers across the country. 25% of dual diagnostics make up CTC's resident population. They, along side other residents, respond very well to drug rehab treatment with proper medication, experienced counselors, and structured living. Permanent sobriety is available to them also if they continue to work towards self-improvement. Compassion & Caring Detox is a time most addicts and alcoholics dread. Detoxing drugs or alcohol has never been without its discomfort. While it is uncomfortable, CTC has learned over the years that many clients are positively influenced at this vulnerable time by the compassion and understanding of CTC's staff. A client's 'low moment' in detox is actually an opportunity for our drug rehab team. Experienced drug rehab professionals know that when an addict detoxes, he might then relate to others who have had similar experiences, but turned them into successes. • Drug Treatment Program Curriculum and Structure Drug Rehab Center--Program Content and Services Medical Assessment-Responsible treatment centers look to the physical
health of its clients as the priority. Medical history, review of medications,
existing medical conditions are all evaluated. Psychological screening
comes next; history, meds., etc. Experienced staff discovers underlying
mental and emotional conflicts; any source of inner turmoil that led to
drug abuse is worked on. Psychosocial Evaluation Drug and Alcohol Education Peer Level Group Therapy Spiritual Support To discuss our drug and alcohol rehab: Call Toll-Free 888-220-7623 24 hours Methamphetamines Methamphetamine is at the front edge of the drug plaque that is sweeping through schools, all economic classes, is indiscriminate of cultures and race, and now crosses 3 generations of Americans—and there is no proof that it is subsiding yet! Meth is highly addictive, inexpensive, easily accessible, and it can be manufactured in any home down the street. It is a powerful stimulant that produces euphoria, and when all these factors are combined, we have reason for an epidemic. Drug labs make the drug easily with over-the-counter ingredients, and hotels and even cars or vans can become a convenient manufacturing location. Meth is a highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system and it is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, which is illegal to possess without a prescription. It increases heart rate and pulse, makes a person highly energetic, more attentive, and effects neurotransmitters in the brain that releases dopamine and norepinephrine producing a euphoric rush. The street names for Methamphetamines are speed, meth, chalk, Ice, crystal, crack, and glass. It is a bitter tasting crystalline power, white and odorless. Meth is a takeoff of the older drug amphetamine, and it affects the nervous system much more aggressively. Delivery Systems: Users have found many ways to ingest the drug, therefore adjusting their high. Meth can be snorted, taken orally, smoked or injected. Short and long term affects: The way methamphetamines are used will decide the affect. Smoking it produces a ‘flash’ or rush that only lasts a short while, but produces a very intense euphoria. It is a rushing sensation that heightens all senses and gives one the feeling of ecstatic pleasure that can last a few minutes, and then the user begins to come down. On the other hand, snorting or ingesting the drug will produce pleasure not as intense, but will last for hours and sometimes up to half a day. User Patterns Chronic drug seeking and drug using patterns lead to addiction. Addiction is compulsive, and once a person is dependent on the drug, his priority before anything else, family, friends, employment, etc., is getting more. Short-term use is not a difficult withdrawal situation, but should be in the presence of a detox facility. Long-term use can cause pathological difficulties including schizophrenia, hallucinations, and paranoia. The recommended detoxification here is in a medical facility under a doctors care.
Prescription medications that can be misused for the condition in which they were originally prescribed are considered Scheduled Drugs, I-IV. There are basically three categories of prescription medications. • Opioids These three categories are the ones most commonly abused. Sometimes the user, under a doctor’s orders, will discover the euphoric nature of these medications. Prescription dosage, if followed precisely, rarely leads to addiction. However, if these medications are taken in dosages above prescription recommendation, they can quickly lead to addiction. These Scheduled Drugs are all high potent medications and caution should be taken even at prescription levels. Prescription drugs have a very high addiction rate, and many people in drug rehab today began innocently enough following a doctor’s orders. Because of their tolerance proprieties, in other words, the user has to take higher doses to achieve the initial euphoric feelings. Opioids Opioids are prescribed because of their effective analgesic and pain relieving properties. They are usually referred to as narcotics. Some of the most common are morphine, codeine, oxycodone, darvon, vicodin, dilaudid, and demerol. These drugs produce sensations of well being, and euphoria. The legs and arms begin to feel heavy, a warm flush rushes through the face, and normal brain reception to pain is blocked. Withdrawal Symptoms:
The drugs come in two groups:
Withdrawal: Stimulants Stimulants cause an increase in alertness, attention, and energy. Some of these drugs are methylphenidate (Ritalin), and dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine). These medications are very addictive because they produce a sensation of euphoria in conjunction with a feeling of personal power. These have chemical properties similar to norepinephrine and dopamine. Stimulants increase the levels of these chemicals in the brain and body which increase blood pressure, heart rate and blood glucose, and opens up the pathways of the respiratory system. Withdrawal: Heroin
