Signs You Need Drug Addiction Treatment

If you are concerned that you or someone you love may have a problem, here are some signs of drug addiction:

• Drugs become the main focus of your life. Much of your time is spent thinking about when you will use again, how you will get more drugs, etc. 
• You begin taking more of a drug to get the same high you got when you started. This is because your body builds up to tolerance to a drug over time. 
• If you have a prescription drug for a specific health problem, you continue to take it even after the medical concern has been alleviated.
• You no longer take time for the people and things that were once an important part of your life. You lose interest in relationships, hobbies, sports, and other activities. 
• As the effects of a drug wear off, you experience withdrawal symptoms such as shakiness, headaches, and dizziness.
• Your daily eating and sleeping habits change. you eat too much or too little and gain or lose weight. You sleep too much or too little and experience lethargy or irritability.
• As a result of your drug use and all the symptoms, your relationships become strained as family, friends, and colleagues notice the change in your appearance or behavior.

Keys to Success

Our drug rehab programs focus on three main objectives: sobriety, abstinence and productivity. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, those are the key to successfully completing rehab and enjoying sustainable, long-term recovery.

• The first step is sobriety, which is addressed with drug detoxification. Our centers offer every level of detox care, from a full medical detox for severe addictions to a less-intense sub-acute program for milder addictions.

• After detox, your drug rehab continues with therapies and counseling to help you learn abstinence and relapse prevention techniques.

• Then you move on to productivity, as you return to a more active, energetic, and constructive lifestyle, both personally and professionally.
