How substance misuse starts can vary from person to person. Some people’s addiction might start with a prescription for a potentially addictive drug, whereas another person might use it in an attempt to self-medicate mental health concerns.
Similarly, your path to recovery may vary based on your individual needs. Treatments and forms of support you may benefit from if you have a problem with drugs or alcohol include:
We have Phoenix inpatient rehab and outpatient rehab programs available so that you or your loved one can participate in the level of care that works best for them. Inpatient programs provide 24/7 support and involve living on-site at a treatment center (usually for around 30 to 90 days).
Outpatient treatment provides flexible scheduling while allowing clients to live at home or in sober living. We offer detox, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient care in Arizona.
Types of therapy used for addiction and substance abuse can include but aren’t limited to the following.
Changes Healing Center’s programs use a blend of the most effective therapies for addiction and mental health.
Many people stay in sober living while in outpatient programs for an added sense of structure, accountability, or other benefits. Our team will refer you to sober living homes in Arizona if it is something that may support your personal recovery.
Addiction support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (with many excellent AA meetings held in Phoenix), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), or SMART Recovery can be beneficial for people overcoming substance abuse problems. These support groups are free of cost, and they meet regularly so that you can start participating at any point in time.
Paired with therapy, some people in treatment benefit from medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Changes Healing Center can prescribe MAT in situations where it is suitable for the client alongside therapy.
