Residential substance abuse treatment is a form of treatment for people suffering from drug addiction in which the drug addicts must live at the facility. Most residential substance abuse treatment facilities utilize a holistic approach to treatment that caters to the mind, body, and soul of their members.
For example, many residential treatment facilities offer their members the opportunity to participate in stress-relieving activities such as yoga, art classes, and talk therapy while staying there. To still cater to the physical needs of a person that is in drug addiction recovery, most residential treatment facilities will still offer constant medical services and staff to their clients as well.
Residential substance abuse treatment differs from partial hospitalization substance abuse treatment in multiple ways. For one, residential treatment provides much more support than partial hospitalization treatment. This is because the clients of residential substance abuse treatment are not as far along in their detox of drugs. Therefore, they tend to require more medical attention and monitoring than those of partial hospitalization substance abuse treatment.
The need for more medical attention in residential treatment is also the reason why a decent percentage of early treatment is spent in a hospital-like environment. Residential treatment is much more relaxed than an actual hospital setting and operates more like a medical housing community.

Detoxification (or detox), is a process that essentially purges the body of drugs/substances. The purpose of detox is to effectively manage the withdrawal symptoms that come with suddenly stopping drug intake.
People will have different experiences with substance abuse detox – this typically depends on the time period it was abused. Regardless of severity, our passionate and qualified team will be by your side every step of the way to ensure comfort and effective results.
Depending on the amount of substances consumed, the time it takes to get through withdrawal symptoms can vary greatly. Some of the factors that affect this length include:
These factors can ultimately have an effect on how long the withdrawal symptoms last. It is recommended to do a medically assisted detox, regardless of circumstance. If you are concerned that a loved one may be abusing drugs, get help fast from trusted professionals.
There are three steps to detox a person successfully; these are to ensure safety and effectiveness. It is worth noting that since everyone’s needs are different, detox processes will be personalized depending on the severity of the abuse.
At Behavioral Health Centers, we offer the full detox treatment, personalized for you or a loved one. Our facility has everything needed to get you on the right track with these three general detox steps.
The first step towards proper detoxification involves medical screening for the patient. This evaluation is to spot any physical and mental issues present. After the initial screening, complex toxicology testing is utilized to determine how much drugs are in the person’s system.
These toxicology tests help our staff determine the correct level of medication needed for your particular case. The patient’s drug, medical, and psychiatric history are also looked at to create a long-term treatment plan after substance abuse detox.
Next up is stabilizing the person with medical and/or psychological therapy. The primary purpose of this is to prevent any form of harm to the person. This stabilization process can also include the help of drug addiction treatment medications to deter complications and reduce withdrawal symptoms.
The final step of detox involves preparation for the treatment program. Our qualified staff helps you get a feel for the treatment program and what to expect. Inpatient rehabs are often the best choice after successfully completing the detox process.
Since detox is only the first step towards recovery, it is important to have options readily available after a successful detox. At Behavioral Health Centers, we are here to make the process easy and comfortable.

NAD is a naturally occurring co-enzyme of niacin that helps cells in our bodies produce energy. In NAD therapy, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is introduced into the blood stream through an IV. Unlike oral supplements, IV NAD treatments bypass your digestive system for 100% absorption and maximum effect. Research has shown that NAD is clearly an excellent medical solution to the expanding problems of substance abuse and post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS). NAD treatments have been shown to reduce the intensity and duration of post-acute withdrawal symptoms on addition to helping your brain return to normal functioning at a faster rate.

Here at Behavioral Health Centers, we believe that every patient has unique and individual needs that must be attended to in order to give each person their best chance at lifelong recovery. Most treatment centers only provide the required one individual therapy session per week. Here at BHC, we provide each patient with a unique opportunity to see a therapist one on one as needed in an effort to manage the complex psychological process of drug addiction and recovery.
We try to encourage our patients to participate in all groups and related activities; however, sometimes a thought or an emotion may occur that is so powerful that it makes it difficult if not impossible for an individual to continue participating in the current activity. This is when it may be ideal for a patient to see a therapist alone to process a personal underlying issue. Upon identifying underlying issues in yourself or a loved one, we can then assist the patient in developing coping skills in order to better manage the emotions when they come up in the future in an effort for them to be able to continue their activities without having a disruption due to powerful emotions and/or thoughts.

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence states that drug addiction is a family disease. This is because addiction affects each member of the family. Addiction puts a family under a lot of stress, disrupts routines, and causes scary experiences.
As a result, members of the family develop unhealthy coping skills. The family unit becomes fragile and dysfunctional. As families adapt to keep some form of peace in the household, they unknowingly contribute to the addiction.
Family therapy can have a positive impact on rebuilding relationships. Educating the family on why loved ones behave in their manner is the first step to healing a broken family. When a family is involved in their loved one’s recovery journey, it increases the chances of success. Other benefits of family therapy include:
