What is addiction treatment?
Addiction is a disease that takes hold of your brain and biology, personality and behavior, changing the way you feel, think, and act. It’s notoriously difficult to shake addiction on your own, and recovery is usually best jumpstarted with support and community.
In our recovery community, we support each woman who comes here with an integrated approach that works with each layer of her being: body, mind and spirit.
Villa Kali Ma’s addiction treatment combines individual sessions, healing groups and activities, across a full spectrum of therapeutic modalities. Our team of therapists work together as one cohesive unit to ensure you receive the care and support you need to succeed on your journey to addiction recovery.
The focus is on providing you with tools and strategies that work for you personally, so that you can get beyond the addiction habit once and for all, staying clean and sober once you’re back home in your ordinary life.
Villa Kali Ma offers the best of evidence-based practices, including contemporary clinical approaches, art therapy, gardening, equine therapy, holistic therapy, community activities, and a portfolio of psychotherapeutic groups and classes.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Addiction
If you’re not completely sure whether it’s addiction you’re struggling with, these signs and symptoms may help you identify it for yourself.
- Loss of interest in activities and hobbies you once enjoyed
- Financial problems
- Legal problems
- Withdrawal symptoms
- Changes in personality
- Changes in appearance (weight issues, hygiene issues, etc.)
- Distance from friends and family
- Poor performance at work or school
- Lying
- Lack of motivation and energy
- Irritability
Addiction affects individuals in unique ways, especially if there is a co-occurring
disorder involved, which is what we call it when there’s also a psychological condition at play as well, such as having anxiety or depression as well as addiction. So it’s helpful to be assessed by a professional who can help you name exactly what’s been working against you until now.
Common Types of Addictions
People can develop addictions to a wide range of substances and combinations of substances.
Some of the most common types of substance addictions include the following:
- Alcohol addiction
- Cocaine addiction
- Heroin addiction
- Marijuana addiction
- Meth addiction
- Prescription drug addiction
- Substance combination addictions
Many substances can pose serious health risks if you attempt to quit overnight on your own without the help of a professional. This is why it’s important to consider joining a monitored Detox Program capable of guiding you through the process to ensure you’re safe and comfortable.
Treating Addictions
Addiction affects everyone differently, which is why it is important to explore your options with a professional. Villa Kali Ma provides the help and guidance you need to identify the specific problem, detox if necessary, and join a program fit to provide you the tools and resources you need to successfully recover from addiction. You may receive a recommendation for residential treatment, partial hospitalization treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, or a combination of these, depending on your case.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Alcohol is one of the most widely available substances in the United States. It’s legal and regularly consumed socially, making it easy for people to become dependent on alcohol and wind up alcoholic.
Alcohol addiction treatment usually begins with a Detox Program to ensure you are safe and comfortable during withdrawal symptoms. Upon completion, it is recommended that you join a Residential Treatment Program to help you make core changes that will protect you from a return to alcohol abuse.
Marijuana Addiction Treatment
While generally considered safer than other substances, marijuana abuse does exist to a widespread extent and can create many serious problems for those developing dependency. Our marijuana addiction treatment addresses mind, body, and spirit to get at the root of the negative behavior.
Cocaine Addiction Treatment
Cocaine is very addictive and creates many severe effects on the lives of users and their families. Cocaine addiction treatment starts with a cocaine detox to help you get past the cravings, depression, and anxiety that accompany withdrawal.
Women with cocaine addiction usually require extended treatment to help them recover from their addiction and learn how to live healthy, drug-free lives going forward. Joining a Residential Treatment Program to learn these new life skills will give you the best chance of getting past the urge to use cocaine in the future.
Methamphetamine Addiction Treatment
As a result of the meth’s highly addictive quality, it is critical to get help as soon as possible. Thorough rehabilitation for meth addiction is necessary to heal from the negative impact it has had on your body and mind. Many meth users relapse when they try to recover on their own because they haven’t had the chance to fully address underlying issues. Villa Kali Ma will assist with making recovery stick and most importantly, repairing your ability to feel safe, good and valuable on the inside without needing to turn to substances to drive away bad feelings.
Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment
Prescription drugs are often prescribed by a doctor to treat pain after surgery or injury, or for chronic pain due to cancer or other long-term conditions. However, many people become dependent on prescription drugs after only a short period of time when they are used in excess or abused.
The best way to recover from prescription drug addiction is to undergo a recovery program that provides Detox and Residential Treatment. This will ensure you receive the care and support you need to successfully, and safely, free yourself fully from the prescription drug you have been overusing.
