Drug Addiction Treatment & Rehab Program

If you’re questioning whether you or a loved one may need drug rehab, it’s time to get help. Many people are reluctant to admit there is a problem, or wait until they hit rock bottom. But addiction is a progressive illness, so catching the early signs and taking action can prevent long-term damage.  Recovery is never out of reach, no matter how hopeless your situation seems or how many times you’ve tried and failed before. At Discovery Point Retreat, with the right treatment and support, change is always possible.

Signs You Need Drug Addiction Treatment

1. You experience physical or mental health problems. If you notice changes in your physical or mental health, you should consider seeking treatment from a rehab center. Physical effects can range from mild to severe or even fatal, depending on the drug and how long you’ve been using. Most drugs also affect your mental health, causing depression, anxiety and other issues.
2. You start taking more drugs to get high. Your body develops a tolerance to drugs, and you may find yourself taking larger amounts of drugs to get high, or using drugs more frequently, to get the same effects that you felt in the beginning. When this happens, you put yourself at risk of an overdose, which can be very dangerous.
3. Using drugs becomes your main focus. If you spend your day thinking about the next time you will use drugs, and much of your energy is focused on how you’re going to get more drugs, that’s a sign that you have an addiction and need treatment. The stronger your addiction becomes, the more you focus on the drug while other things in your life, such as relationships and activities, become less important.
4. You have a mental disorder that contributes to your drug use. Many people use drugs as a way to cope with uncomfortable feelings and emotions. If you realize that you’re doing this, you should seek treatment for what we call “co-occurring disorders.” Attempting to self-medicate for mental health disorders is one of the main factors that leads to drug addiction.
5. You’ve tried to quit before and failed. If you’ve tried unsuccessfully to quit – either on your own, with a self-help group or even an out-patient treatment program – you may need the more rigorous treatment and care that comes with a residential rehab program.

Our approach to recovery

Evidence-based drug addiction treatment is the cornerstone of recovery programs at our rehab centers in the Dallas, Texas area. We understand the battle with drug use better than anyone else, because many of us have overcome substance abuse ourselves.

Our residential and inpatient drug rehabilitation programs provide continuous care and treatment modalities to combat your addiction. With rehab, you learn to control your cravings and emotions as you recover from the underlying causes of depression and anxiety.

Our drug rehab program includes treatment for:

• Cocaine
• Fentanyl
• Heroin
• Inhalants
• Gateway drugs
• Meth
• Opioids
• Prescription drugs

How the Program Works

We begin your drug rehab with a thorough assessment that allows our team to develop a personalized treatment plan. Everyone experiences addiction differently, and your symptoms, temperaments and underlying traumas are all considered in the formulation of your recovery plan.

The next step is often our medical detoxification, which helps you manage withdrawal symptoms comfortably and safely. Medical detox normally lasts 7 to 10 days, and our team will provide medical supervision and support around the clock. After detox, your drug rehab progresses into evidence-based addiction treatment therapies developed by our clinical specialists. These therapies are the core of your treatment plan, and may include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, family therapy, recreation therapy and more.

Aftercare Plans

We continue to offer support after you leave drug rehab at Discovery Point Retreat, with aftercare plans to help you establish healthy hobbies, reignite relationships, communicate effectively and continue academic or professional pursuits.
