  • Bleeding in the stomach and esophagus
  • Impotence
  • Permanent nerve and brain damage
  • Inability to coordinate movements
  • Forgetfulness, blackouts, or problems with short-term memory

What Are The Treatments for Substance Abuse?

Addiction treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Treatments may vary based on your needs, level of care, and personal mental health needs.

Detoxification

You can detox from addictive drugs in a secure setting with medical assistance. It is advantageous since unpleasant or life-threatening physical symptoms of drug withdrawal might occasionally occur. Detox is frequently combined with other therapy because it does not address the underlying behavioral reasons for the addiction.

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

You might be able to identify your negative thoughts using rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), which can teach you strategies for overcoming emotions of defeat. The purpose of REBT is to assist you in realizing that your capacity for rational thought is innate and unrelated to stressors or circumstances outside of you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Because it may be used to treat a wide range of addictions, including but not limited to food, alcohol, and prescription medication addiction, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an effective therapeutic method. CBT can assist you in recognizing your undesirable behavioral patterns and learning to recognize triggers and create coping mechanisms. CBT can be used in conjunction with other treatment modalities.
