Alcohol and drug addiction are serious medical illnesses. Addiction, sometimes called substance use or substance use disorder, doesn’t discriminate. It can affect a person of any age, gender, economic or employment situation, race, or ethnicity. It also impacts family and friends of those who are battling with addiction.
When you choose treatment at our Tucson, AZ-area facility, our first priority is your health and safety. We’ll evaluate your current medical condition and monitor your safe progress throughout withdrawal. You may be given medicine to help ease your symptoms or cravings.
Our alcohol and drug detox programs offer you the time to heal, both physically and emotionally. We provide integrated, medically supervised care that helps your body adjust to change, while helping your mind learn new ways to cope with the stressors in your life.
The inpatient admission and treatment process for substance use includes assessment, detoxification (detox), and therapy. We also offer acute stabilization for individuals who may be suicidal, experiencing hallucinations, or other mental health symptoms.
Inpatient treatment for alcohol addiction uses behavioral and holistic therapies, wellness education, recreational activities, and medication to help you continue your recovery.
Treatment can help those who:
● May lack a social support system to help them stay sober
● Are a danger to themselves or others
● Have serious trouble avoiding alcohol during daily life
● Want to focus completely on recovery
● Have not had success with other treatment approaches
These programs offer continued inpatient treatment after detox. Inpatient alcohol addiction treatment requires a significant amount of time and effort, but completion of treatment can lead to improved work and family relationships, and a better quality of life.
Inpatient treatment for drug addiction combines behavioral and holistic therapies, medication, educational programs, and recreational activities based on your individual needs.
Treatment can help those who:
● Need round-the-clock monitoring and medical care
● May not have a strong social support system
● Are a danger to themselves or others
● Want an immersive experience that focuses completely on recovery
● Have not found success with other treatment approaches
Our programs provide continued inpatient treatment after detox. The length of stay depends on the individual.
After you complete an inpatient program, your therapist will discuss your discharge plan, which may include an outpatient program to help you transition back to everyday life.
Our facility offers Changes® outpatient programs, which include both Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs).
PHP is a therapeutic and recovery-focused program that provides individuals with the support, care, coping mechanisms and strategies they need in their everyday lives to help with long-term recovery. It is often a “step-down” option for individuals who have received inpatient treatment. Patients typically spend five to six hours per day participating in psychotherapy, recreational therapy and educational groups.
IOP provides structured and intensive group therapy to individuals who have completed PHP or who require a higher level of therapeutic support than traditional individual outpatient counseling offers.
Patients typically spend 9-12 hours per week in the program. IOP offers two specialized tracks, one for mental health and one for substance use. On-site therapy (individual, group or family), education, training and skill building may be offered as part of intensive outpatient treatment.
All patients receive evidence-based therapy sessions; recreational activities; medication support; interdisciplinary care team meetings for assistance in achieving goals, and aftercare planning.
Recovery looks different for every individual. Your care team will work with you to design a custom treatment plan just for you.
Detox helps you discontinue alcohol or drug use and become medically stable. Depending on what substance you use – alcohol, prescription drugs or illegal drugs – and the symptoms you have, you may be given medication to help you through withdrawal and reduce your cravings. You will be admitted to inpatient care and closely monitored by our medical staff, who will assess your physical response to withdrawal to ensure your safety.
The length of your stay at our facility depends on several factors. While there’s no such thing as a typical detox period, those who are addicted to alcohol or benzodiazepines (such as Xanax, Valium, or Ativan) may require up to ten days.
When you are stabilized, you will be encouraged to participate in talk therapy sessions. This may be individual, group, or family therapy, depending on your needs and interests. We offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational training to help you recognize dangerous or negative behaviors and to help you discover new approaches to solving problems.
You will also have the chance to meet with peers through support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. Opportunities to take part in holistic therapies like relaxation, yoga, music, and art will round out your day.
Following the detox process and inpatient rehab, you may be referred to one of our outpatient programs, where you’ll learn productive ways to fill your time and replace old or trigger behaviors. You’ll also receive health education and work on strategies to sustain your sobriety.
Many people who face drug or alcohol addiction also struggle with other mental illness. During your assessment and throughout your ongoing treatment, we’ll work with you to address all of your emotional needs. Sometimes it’s hard to say whether a mental illness is the underlying cause of addiction, or if addiction is contributing to other mental health issues. Our goal is to treat the whole person and any mental health conditions you’re experiencing.
