Drug Addiction Treatment and the Medical Detox Program
The initial phase of our drug addiction treatment is drug detox. Here you will be evaluated by a board certified physician who will design a detox protocol to manage your withdrawal symptoms. There are two goals in our medical detox program; medical stabilization and the assessment of each patient to determine their need for ongoing addiction treatment.
Drug Addiction Treatment and Rehabilitation
The drug addiction treatment program is followed by our drug rehabilitation program (drug rehab). The drug rehab program at Lakeview is designed to maintain the gains realized in detox, while developing the coping skills necessary to maintain long term recovery.
Drug Addiction Treatment and the Family
One of the most valued of Lakeview's drug rehab program components is the Family Recovery Program. This four day family program helps the family accept, forgive and effectively communicate their feelings associated with their loved one's addiction. Families will learn how to set limits and boundaries and not fall into the all too familiar pattern of enabling. Recognized by addiction treatment professionals nationwide, Lakeview's Family Recovery Program has brought together thousands of families that drugs and alcohol have torn apart.
Drug Addiction Treatment Aftercare
Drug addiction treatment does not end with the completion of our drug rehab program. It requires many months to develop a firm foundation to appreciate recovery. At Lakeview, we feel that continued drug and alcohol treatment on an outpatient basis, in conjunction with attendance at 12-Step meetings are the most effective ways to maintain recovery.
Prior to discharge from our drug addiction treatment program we provide an aftercare or drug relapse prevention plan and introduction to your alumni coordinator. This trained specialist will remain in touch with you throughout the year in an effort to provide continuing support after completing Lakeview's drug rehab program.
We have been consistently recognized as one of the top residential addiction treatment facilities in the country. Call, toll free, 1-866-657-4357.
Specialty Addiction Treatment Program Components
In an effort to provide the highest quality care within our addiction treatment facility, we have designed specialty addiction treatment programs for certain populations. These substance abuse treatment components provide a treatment environment that has as its focus specific substance abuse treatment issues. In addition, it provides a "safe space" for people to discuss topics they may feel uncomfortable discussing with the general substance abuse treatment population.
