Outpatient Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment in SF Bay Area

Contact Addiction Treatment specialist in SF Bay AreaAddiction is one of the hardest things anyone could ever have to deal with in their life. It destroys them, and the people around them, ending in heartbreak for all parties involved. When someone is looking to quit their drug addiction, it’s easy for them to get lost in the idea that they alone can fix themselves. Unfortunately, those that have tried time and time again know that isn’t always the case. In fact, some people chase that dream into death.

This is why treatment is so fundamentally necessary for the addict or alcoholic trying to kick their habit. Having a support system around 24/7 for those times when getting sober is the hardest significantly increases the chances of success in sobriety.

For many, addiction has worked its way into so many parts of their lives, that they are now not in control. This is a scary feeling, and in time, you or your loved one’s life can be taken back from the throes of addiction. But a structured treatment program is necessary, to gently guide the suffering addict back to optimal health.

People suffering from addiction are also at risk of severe health issues, due to the immense damage most of them have done to their bodies over the course of their substance abuse career. This means that the longer one might take to get help, the longer the addiction has, to do damage to the body. Many times this makes for a dangerous detox process in which the patient must be medically monitored.

After detox has completed, a mistake that many addicts or alcoholics fall into thinks that this is sufficient; that all they need to do to stay “on the wagon” is come out of the withdrawal phase. This is patently untrue, and the evidence proves it.

A comprehensive treatment plan, one that is tailored to a patient’s individual needs, is required to ensure success.

In our outpatient treatment programs, we use a mix of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and therapeutic interventions through counseling to cover our patients on all fronts and give them a chance at long-term happiness without drugs.
