10 Ways to Address Addiction Recovery
New Seasons offers personalized alcohol and drug addiction recovery programs to help you get the treatment to get well and stay well.
During the initial assessment phase of your unique and personalized addiction recovery plan, we develop your neurofunctional profile that looks at your unique brainwave activity for differences that shed light on your specific needs. From there, we can work with you to build a lasting plan for your addiction recovery.
To address the many issues that most people in addiction recovery face, we offer a minimum of the following 10 treatment areas so that clients can be exposed to a varied menu of options, of which they can use to different degrees in their respective addiction recovery programs. Each of these 10 treatment areas are chosen and customized to fit the needs of each client so that their addiction recovery program is unique and personalized. At New Seasons, our approach to addiction recovery looks at the physiological causes of addiction and treats the cause - not the symptoms - of addiction.
Addiction Recovery: Drug & Alcohol Education
The key to any undertaking is education. By learning what obstacles stand in your way, you can more quickly achieve your goals. A crucial key to alcohol and drug addiction recovery, then, is drug and alcohol education. By learning how drugs and alcohol affect your body, your mind, and your spirit, you can recognize symptoms and be prepared for the challenges that come with addiction recovery.
Further, no person exists independent of family. Therefor we help to diagnose any problems in the family structure that may hinder a client's recovery, and help provide a network of caring people who, equipped with love and knowledge, can provide another crucial layer of addiction recovery support.
Addiction Recovery: Physiology of Addiction
When you bring alcohol or drugs into your system, it creates a chemical reaction in your body. The physiological response to drugs and alcohol is what originally made you "feel good" in the first place. In time, however, as your body's physiological processes adjusted to your drug/alcohol intake, it started taking more drugs/alcohol in greater amounts and/or frequency to "feel good". And this is also why it is so difficult to stop substance abuse. When your body has adjusted to having foreign substances in it, it will continue to want them so it can operate in the way it has adjusted to do so.
Knowing how the physiology of addiction and addiction recovery works is essential in your addiction recovery effort. When clients understand the scientific effects substance abuse has on their bodies, they are better prepared to handle the physical discomfort and the mental stress addiction recovery can entail.
Addiction Recovery: Relapse Prevention
Sometimes, people may mistakenly assume addiction recovery is as simple as "drying out." This is just not the case. Indeed, some clients on our New Seasons residential treatment centers have spent many years with addiction. As a result, addiction recovery is often a lifelong process. At New Seasons, we do our best to prepare our clients to face the ongoing challenges of addiction recovery from a position of strength, to help prevent any relapses in the future.
New Seasons offers continued support in your lasting addiction recovery. One way we do this is through our alumni support services. We offer weekly alumni meetings to provide face-to-face support that sustained alcohol and drug addiction recovery sometimes requires.
Addiction Recovery: Spirituality & Recovery
While New Seasons is not a faith-based recovery program, we understand that role that a healthy spiritual outlook plays addiction recovery. Indeed, a key step in any 12-step program is the belief in the strength of a Higher Power to help guide us through recovery and keep us free from addiction and dependency in the future.
As such, we at New Seasons will gladly facilitate attendance at local spiritual meetings and religious services. When it comes to addiction recovery, strength is key. Those able maintain spiritual health often leverage that health into their addiction recovery efforts.
Addiction Recovery: 12-Step Programs
Originally introduced in 1935, the 12-step program has been a key element in addiction recovery for many individuals. Though there are several variations of the 12-step program today, the basic principal that focuses on the harmful influences of addiction remains a solid foundation for addiction recovery.
Addiction Recovery: Self Regulation
The ultimate goal of addiction recovery is to give you back control of your life. For some clients, it has been so long that their addictions have complicated, or in some cases, disabled their ability to self-regulate in many different facets of their lives.
Self regulation is an essential component to regaining control of your life and maintaining the strength it takes to lead a life free from drugs, alcohol, or any other behaviors that have been detrimental your overall mental and/or physical health.
Addiction Recovery: Symptom Management
In any type of medical situation, symptoms are a sign that some change is happening in your body. Normally we think of symptoms as a bad sign - a harbinger that something is going wrong in our bodies. The first impulse, then, is to treat the symptom.
During addiction recovery, however, symptoms, no matter how uncomfortable they may be, are the sign that something very right is happening inside your body.
Addiction Recovery: Coping Skills
Addiction recovery is a major change. Just as your addiction caused you to create new coping skills to deal with the effects your addiction or dependency had on your body and personal relationships, addiction recovery will require a whole new set of coping skills to keep you addiction-free and help you continue to realize the real you.
Addiction Recovery: Medication Education
The alcohol and drugs that may have caused an addiction in you or someone you love can sometimes be the same ingredients in many over-the-counter or prescription medications that are meant to address anything from pain, to insomnia, to the flu. Sometimes, ignorance of the ingredients in what we normally consider helpful medications may be all it takes to slip into a relapse.
Addiction Recovery: Co-Dependency
Often, the challenges that come from continued addiction recovery are not limited to basic physical and mental stresses or temptations. In some cases, clients benefit tremendously from codependency counseling.
Your addiction not only affects you, but those who love you and are close to you. Learning about the role codependency may be playing in your life can help shine a light on any relationship problems that may have contributed to your addiction/dependency problems, or may be even be continuing to affect your addiction recovery efforts.
Support During Your Addiction Recovery
For some clients who may require 24-hour care, New Seasons offers a residential treatment center care option that incorporates all of the above-mentioned points and more with compassionate, around-the-clock support.
