Comprehensive Care for Substance Use Disorders

With the right help, you can break free of alcohol and other drug use. Your treatment program will be tailored to your unique needs regardless of the addiction you are battling.

Our substance abuse treatment options include:

Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol is addictive. Frequently combined with other drugs, alcohol remains the number one drug of choice for all age groups.

Individuals with alcohol use disorders feel they need a drink to function normally. Professional goals, personal relationships, and physical health are progressively affected by the effects of misusing alcohol. The Hanley Center at Origins team understands this progressive, often fatal, disease and are fully prepared to treat those suffering from alcohol addiction.

Cocaine Addiction

Cocaine is a powerful, highly addictive stimulant. Cocaine floods the brain with the neurotransmitter known as dopamine. The euphoric blast that results can overwhelm and rewrite a person’s neural pathways.

Obsession for the drug then almost always takes over an addict’s life. Even though their cocaine addiction places their well-being and those they love in harm’s way, they cannot stop using the drug without professional help.

Prescription Drug Addiction

Unfortunately, many people think prescription drugs are safer and less addictive than illicit drugs, but this is not the case. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) defines prescription drug misuse as utilizing medications in any manner or dose other than what the prescribing physician intended. For example, taking prescriptions to get high or buzzed is an obvious sign of misuse.

However, using another’s medications, even with their permission to address a significant condition, is a form of prescription drug misuse.

Opioid Addiction

Opioids are a class of strong prescription pain relievers or narcotics. Examples of opioids include oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl, and tramadol.

Heroin, an illegal and highly addictive drug, is also an opioid. Opioids can be highly addictive, and the misuse of these drugs can result in long-term changes to your brain. Opioid and heroin addiction, as with other addictive substances, also causes negative impacts on your overall physical health.

Methamphetamine Addiction

One of the most dangerous illegal drugs available today is methamphetamine, commonly known as “meth.” Meth is generally found in a powder form that resembles glass or white powder; this is commonly called “crystal meth.”

The drug is a central nervous system stimulant that can be smoked, snorted, injected, or consumed orally. Meth floods the brain with dopamine, a neurotransmitter that regulates our reward and pleasure centers. The resulting euphoria can overwhelm a person and rewire their neural pathways, which leads to a gripping need to consume the drug.

Marijuana Addiction

Marijuana, a drug derived from the cannabis plant, can be smoked or consumed in an edible form. As it is now nearly as socially acceptable alcohol, it is one of the most complex substances to stop using. People who regularly use marijuana may believe it is harmless, but addiction is possible.

Because of marijuana’s legalization in many states and its widespread societal acceptance, many users think they are functioning just fine, and their family members often agree. These factors make it a challenge to know when there is a problem.

Mental Health Disorders

People with a mental health disorder are far more likely to also have a substance use disorder. When both mental health and a substance use disorder are present, we call them co-occurring disorders. These disorders affect virtually every aspect of an individual’s life — physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual.

At Detox Los Angeles, we recognize the relationships between different disorders and how they need to be treated jointly.

If you suffer from mental health disorders, you are not alone.

The National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) reports that approximately 45% of Americans seeking addiction treatment suffer from co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. This includes mental health illnesses, such as anxiety and depression. In order to achieve sustained wellness, these conditions must be treated at the same time as substance use. A lifelong health plan needs to include techniques to address every single condition.

Our mental health treatment options include:

Mood Disorders

Mood disorders are characterized by an individual’s elevated and lowered moods. A mood disorder is a medical condition such as bipolar disorder and depression, which are disruptive to personal relationships, job responsibilities, and lifestyle. Since people with mood disorders often withdrawal from others in their community, they may suffer needlessly for months or years.

Mood disorders often co-occur in individuals with substance use disorder. Proper diagnosis of mood disorders is critical to successful, long-term recovery.

Anxiety Disorders

Although occasional anxiety is a regular and often daily occurrence, anxiety disorders involve much more than temporary apprehension or fear of making a big decision or taking a test at school or work.

Anxiety disorders are mental health issues categorized by intense feelings that don’t cease and symptoms that may worsen over time.

PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)

Stressful life events happen daily. But those that break your sense of security and result in feelings of helplessness are known as trauma. When you are overwhelmed with upsetting emotions, memories, and anxiety that seems never to stop, you may begin to feel numb and disconnected from the people and places that surround you.

When these feelings persist long after the initial trauma has subsided, you may be experiencing what’s known as post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. When symptoms last longer than three months, cause significant distress, or disrupt a person’s work, social, or home life, PTSD is generally the reason.

OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)

Individuals with an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) may experience obsessions or compulsions, or symptoms of both. Obsessions are repeated thoughts, urges, or mental images that contribute to anxiety. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors as a result of obsessive thought patterns.

Although it is common for everyone to have repetitive thoughts and habits, individuals with OCD have uncontrollable thoughts or unenjoyable behaviors that take up hours of their days. The experiences related to OCD significantly impact life, including work, school, and personal relationships.

Personality Disorders

Individuals with the disease of addiction often have co-occurring personality disorders. The presence of these co-occurring personality disorders can make treatment for substance use more challenging.

Successfully overcoming addiction and avoiding relapse means dealing with the personality disorder first. Detox Los Angeles offers exceptional treatment options.

Process Addictions

Compulsive behavioral health problems such as obsessive shopping, gambling, and sexual addiction can be hard to stop without professional therapy and intervention.

Conditions like these that often co-occur with substance use disorders are known as process and behavioral addictions.

Recovery is possible, and people do recover.

Although there is no cure for any mental health disorder, including addiction, many individuals go on to lead extraordinary lives filled with hope and courage. Treatment interventions based on research have proven effective in treating patients living with co-occurring diagnoses. The key is to receive personalized treatment that is intensive and integrated. People with co-occurring disorders can recover with long-term support and therapeutic interventions.

At Detox Los Angeles, we know that co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders impact one another and that they must be treated together. Recovery is dependent on a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
