Private addiction treatment is composed of multiple layers and dimensions, each one speaking to a different aspect of alcohol and drug addiction. The effects of sustained stimulant abuse or depressant abuse can touch the individual in different areas to different degrees depending upon their drug of choice, the amount that they use and the length of time that they continue to abuse drugs and alcohol before finally obtaining addiction treatment.

Biological, cognitive, emotional and spiritual issues are all addresses at private addiction treatment centers like Michael’s House. Your ability to heal overall starts with assessing your state of duress on each dimension and providing you with individualized treatment that allows you to heal at your own pace.

Biological Private Addiction Treatment

Starting the process of private addiction treatment means that you must first stop the act of using drugs and alcohol. Depending upon your drug of choice, this can mean serious withdrawal symptoms associated with detox. Opiate detox from heroin and high doses of prescription drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, Percocet and others can mean a week or more of intense illness without medication. For stimulant drugs, on the other hand, drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, and others, you may not feel well for a few days after you stop using, but it generally passes on its own without serious withdrawal symptoms.

No matter which one describes your case, a private addiction treatment center will be able to provide you what you need to make sure that you are stable physically before you proceed with treatment.

Cognitive Private Addiction Treatment

Learning about how drugs and alcohol work in the body and cognitively understanding what happened to you during active use and what needs to happen now if you are to recover starts with cognitive private addiction treatment. Through educational classes, documentaries, discussion, books and other tools, a private addiction treatment center will help you to gain perspective on your situation from a theoretical and objective medical and psychological standpoint.

Emotional Private Addiction Treatment

Some view the progression of active drug and alcohol addiction as a regression emotionally. At the very least, studies have shown that when someone begins actively using drugs and alcohol in earnest, their emotional development stops. Over time, their focus becomes completely self absorbed; they shut off relationships, their interest and focus on their work, their personal development. Their singular focus is on maintaining a steady supply of their drug of choice, to the exclusion of all else.

At a private addiction treatment center, you receive extensive one-on-one therapy, group sessions and a variety of other therapeutic options to help you identify where you are emotionally and move forward.

Spiritual Private Addiction Treatment

When we are emotionally stunted and physically ill, it is impossible to live an honest spiritual life. A private addiction treatment center gives the space to be still, to be introspective, to discern what your true thoughts and feelings are on your spiritual place in the universe. You will also find that many of your therapies are quite spiritual in nature and with your therapist, you have the opportunity to explore your spiritual side if you feel so inclined.

On the other hand, if you are not interested in addressing such a deeply personal topic right away, you are encouraged to go at your own pace and discover your authentic self when and how you feel most comfortable.
