Addiction is a complex mental health issue. Succumbing to addiction is not a sign of weakness or immorality. Certain people have genetic or personality traits that make them prone to addiction and it is not their fault. However, it is that person’s responsibility to reach out to get help for their addiction.
The first step to beating addiction is to realize that there is a problem. It’s common for drug or alcohol abusers to be in denial of their problematic usage, especially in its early stages. But once the decision is made to get help, the addicted individual will find that there is a world of support to help them on their journey to recovery.

Recovering from a drug or alcohol addiction is a long-term process that involves various stages of treatment. Much like recovering from a terminal disease, recovering from Substance Use Disorder (SUD) requires a tiered treatment regimen.
Drug addiction and alcohol addiction can disrupt the course of someone’s life and affect friends and family members around them. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “addiction is a chronic disease characterized by drug seeking and use that is compulsive, or difficult to control, despite harmful consequences.”
Both short-term and long-term use of drugs or alcohol can lead to addiction, whether it starts from prescribed medication or an occasional weekend escape. For the most part, substance use is a voluntary thing. But as time goes on, repetitive substance use turns into substance abuse. Alcohol and drugs change the brain’s motivations and can cause what is known as Substance Use Disorders.
Substance Use Disorder is synonymous with drug addiction and can have the following side effects:
Addiction commonly pairs with financial irresponsibility. Oftentimes, poor money management has to do with paying for drugs — whether it be dipping into a savings account or stealing from a family member to get high. Other times, gambling or unsustainable spending may be related to their addiction.
Drugs drain the body’s necessary energy systems and can cause visible weight loss or weight gain. Each drug does so differently, but all can cause physical and mental health problems. These issues are extensive, and long-term drug abusers can develop health hurdles that are difficult to jump.
The side effects listed above can directly cause problems at school or work. The decreased mental capacity is the obvious issue here, but the emotional instability and behavioral changes can be the breaking point here. A lack of interest in both school or work is typically the initial step downward.
Substance abuse often starts with a mysterious and secretive lifestyle. As addiction develops, relationship issues can build with family, friends, and spouses. Emotional stability and even mental capacity can change drastically too. And while these changes can be short-lived, but abuse over the years can make them tougher to overcome.
Our inpatient treatment approach is a holistic one where we find and fix all foundational imbalances. We identify environmental, genetic, and psychological factors to evaluate each patient for individual treatment programs.
There are many treatment options out there today, be we pride ourselves on our unique approach to addiction therapy. We offer a mix of a traditional, scientifically-proven addiction model and evidence-based holistic methods.
Our goal is to promote healing. We heal physical and psychological imbalances through various personal and group therapies such as guided meditation, creative art therapies, aromatherapy, yoga, and mind-body therapies.
As we work to bring balance into our patient’s lives, we see that they are more able to face real-world challenges without drugs or alcohol. This internal balance can also be seen to reduce stress and pain and bring optimism and hope. We believe this gives our patients a higher chance for long-term sobriety.
