Substance Abuse Treatment Programs

Different types of drug addiction require different treatments. Substance abuse of every kind is damaging and painful, but the type of substance you use makes a difference in how you detox and heal over the long-term. We’ll take this and the severity of your addiction into account during the evaluation that takes place during the Washburn House admissions process. Our team then uses that information to build the treatment plan that’s right for your recovery. We determine which substance abuse treatment programs will be ideal to aid in your recovery journey.

When it comes to effective substance abuse treatment programs in Worcester Massachusetts, look no further than Washburn House. We provide a variety of drug addiction treatment programs in MA that target specific substances and the needs of those struggling. Through our full continuum of care, we make it possible for our clients to begin living a full and healthy life.

Many drugs fall under the category of “opioids.” A few of the most common are:

• Oxycodone (known as “oxy”)
• Hydrocodone (known as “hydro”)
• Codeine
• Morphine
• Heroin

Opioids are extremely addictive, and they’re especially dangerous because of the risk of overdose. Unfortunately, they’re also widely available because many of them are legal medications prescribed for pain.

Warning signs of addiction to opioids include cravings for the drug, symptoms of depression, and needing more and more of the drug to get the same effects. An opioid addiction treatment program in Worcester Massachusetts will provide the necessary support and medical attention to set you up for successful recovery.

Addiction to alcohol is incredibly common. This is because alcohol is legal, widely available, and drinking is an accepted social activity. If you continue to drink when others have stopped or feel like you need to drink to relax, you may have a problem with alcohol. It’s easy to build up a tolerance to alcohol over time, meaning you may become addicted to the substance without realizing it. There are severe health consequences of prolonged alcohol abuse, such as liver and brain damage, so it’s important to get treatment right away. Through an alcohol addiction treatment program, you have the ability to safely detox and recover from the substance.

Benzodiazepines, or benzos, are commonly used prescription drugs. They give a powerfully calming effect to the user, so they’re typically prescribed for:

• Anxiety disorders
• Insomnia
• Seizures

Benzos are relatively easy to find and have a long withdrawal process, making recovery difficult without professional support. Because of the symptoms of detox, you should never try to quit without medical supervision. A benzo addiction treatment program provides you with the medical care you need to stay safe.

Cocaine is known for its short-lived but intense feelings of heightened mood, increased energy, and increased motivation. These symptoms together are known as “euphoria.” Signs and symptoms of cocaine addiction include:

• Needing more of the drug to get the same high
• Reacting negatively while “crashing,” as effects wear off
• Being willing to do whatever it takes to get more of the drug

Staying off of cocaine while you get sober is difficult, so having trained support from medical professionals through a cocaine addiction treatment program is vital.

Methamphetamine is powerfully addictive. Using it in any form can be deadly because it raises your blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, and respiration—often to a point you can’t handle. It’s also extremely difficult to quit.

If you’re addicted to meth, your loved ones might point out that you’re:

• Paranoid
• Isolated
• Panicked
• Aggressive

A meth addiction treatment program will help you work through withdrawal and achieve recovery success.

Unlike other opioids, there’s no medical purpose for heroin, and it’s especially dangerous because:

• It’s easy to become addicted to heroin.
• You risk infection from dirty needles if you inject heroin.
• It’s easy to overdose on the drug.

A heroin addiction is difficult to break, and detox can be perilous. That’s why it’s important to seek the help of healthcare professionals through a heroin addiction treatment program and not attempt to recover on your own.

Many people believe that marijuana is not addictive, but if you prioritize your marijuana use above work, relationships, and sober hobbies, you may be addicted.

Marijuana withdrawal symptoms include:

• Irritability
• Insomnia
• Vivid dreams, including nightmares
• Headaches
• Decreased appetite
• Cravings for the drug

When you come to our marijuana addiction treatment program, we’ll incorporate your unique needs and goals into your treatment.

You have a co-occurring disorder if you’re abusing a substance and have a mental illness like:

• An anxiety disorder
• Major depressive disorder (MDD)
• Bipolar disorder
• A personality disorder, like borderline personality disorder (BPD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Washburn House is co-occurring capable. While we are primarily a substance abuse treatment facility, we do treat some co-occurring disorders if your primary diagnosis is substance-related. Through dual diagnosis treatment in MA, clients are able to address both issues in order to break the cycle of addiction.
