Drug Rehabilitation Facility Dubuque

At Drug Treatment Program Dubuque we know that Drug addiction and Alcoholism are problems that can, and will totally ruin the life of any person dealing with addiction. It is all too often that recreational use of drugs or alcohol becomes chronic consumption and addiction. Their are no defined boundaries when addiction is involved. Drug and Alcohol Addiction can affect anybody under the right circumstances. However, just as anyone can become addicted to drugs and alcohol, anyone can also beat addiction when finding the right treatment.

In our society today, current society, illegal substances exist in all of our daily lives. Substances such as liquor, benzos, heroin and many other addictive drugs are easy to find in most places we live and play. These kinds of drugs and alcohol, when used over an extended period of time, create tolerance and dependence. Once a person has formed a hard core addiction, it can be virtually impossible to stop using without some form of assistance.

We at Drug Treatment Center Dubuque understand that there is no premeditated decision on the part of any person to become dependent on drugs and alcohol. We also understand that any individual that is destroying their life because of drugs wants to stop using and change their life for the better. We get that each of these people should get the chance to receive the help that they are in need of.

Detoxification at Drug Treatment Dubuque

After a person has taken an addictive drug over an extended period of time, a dependence develops for that drug. When dependence or addiction has developed it could be dangerous to abruptly stop using the drug without professional help through a med detox process. Addictive drugs such as alcohol, heroin, meth, morphine and others can cause a wide variety of withdrawal symptoms such as anger, panic attacks, discomfort, insomnia, sweating, abdominal cramping and more.

At Drug Rehab Program Dubuque we provide the needed medical care to make our clients as comfortable as possible during the withdrawal process. We offer 24/7 care during this critical first step in the recovery process. Our clients typically say that they feel a great sense of accomplishment when they complete detox.

Long Term Treatment goals

At Drug Treatment Facility Dubuque we believe that the most important factor in determining success is whether the individual has completely overcome their addiction. Success can only be measured by the patient's belief in their ability to remain sober. Short term rehab protocols typically fall short of this goal.

We feel that it is crucial not to be under time restraints when in rehabilitation. The time that you stay in treatment can create a lifetime of sobriety, it is definitely worth the investment of whatever time that it requires. We address the underlying issues that may be at the root of the addiction. We will help you to repair the problems that you have created in your life so that you are not filled with senses of overwhelming shame, regret and disappointment. You will be taught life skills, coping skills and relapse prevention methods so that you are not just sober when you leave, but know how to stay sober for a lifetime. We know that you want a better life and we are here to help you find a way to achieve it.

Relapse Prevention

At Drug Treatment Facility Dubuque we teach our patients drug addiction relapse prevention techniques to help those who have suffered with the serious problem of drug addiction to make a plan to prevent substance use in the future. Drug addiction relapse prevention techniques are crucial when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction recovery. Individuals must know different tools and steps they can take to guarantee their hard work of addiction recovery lasts forever. Drug and alcohol addiction can be a consistent chronic relapsing situation if the person is not equipped with the knowledge to prevent further relapses. This is why rehabilitation needs changes in attitudes and values, which is all part of relapse prevention. Because of these issues, rehabilitation is not a single situation; it is an ongoing process. Relapse occurs when attitudes and behaviors revert to ones similar to those shown when the person was actively using drugs or alcohol. Although relapse could occur at any moment, it is usually more likely earlier in the rehabilitation process. At this stage, habits and attitudes required for sobriety, skills required to replace substance use, and identity with role models are not completely set in stone. With the use of relapse prevention methods taught at our Drug Rehab Dubuque center, our clients have an increased chance at long term rehabilitation without chronically relapsing.
