We have helped countless struggling addicts to beat their addiction with our extensive addiction recovery methods and recovery principles.

Detoxification

The initial step of our treatment program is our detox process. After a person has consumed drugs regularly for a period of time an addiction develops for the drug. Once this happens it is often not medically safe to suddenly quit without professional help from a medical detoxification process. Addictive substances such as alcohol, valium, cocaine, heroin, meth, demerol, fentanyl and many others cause a wide range of withdrawal symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, insomnia, muscle aches, vomiting, sweating, diarrhea, cramping, nausea, lethargy and more.

At Drug Rehab Center Gloucester we provide the often necessary medical supervision to help out clients be as safe and comfortable as possible through the detox process. We offer 24 hour services and supervision throughout this crucial first step in the recovery process. Our clients often say that they feel a renewed sense of hope when they have finished the detox program.

An important aspect of overcoming addiction is to recognize that you have a problem. A person who refuses to accept they are addicted will not be able to move forward to solving a problem they deny they have. For many, when it comes down to confronting their addiction problem, also requires the individual to try to figure out why and how it developed in the first place. Addiction often happens when someone uses a substance to relieve physical and/or emotional pain in order to handle negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions. If a person doesn't learn the root issues fueling their addiction and does not reach out for help, it will be harder for them to overcome their addiction.

Acknowledging that you have a problem is an extremely critical first step in dealing with alcohol addiction or drug abuse. In addition you must also have the desire to put forth the effort to change it. Taking a look at all the reasons for making a change keep you focused and motivated on recovery. Many find it helpful to write down the reasons why they want to change. Reasons might be, for example, wanting to be a better parent, be a happier person overall, to feel more accomplished and successful, repair damaged relationships, to improve your health, or to reverse other negative situations that addiction causes.

Do not only concentrate and be absorbed on the problems caused by your substance abuse, as focusing in on the negative things of the past can make you feel depressed and hopeless. Instead, focus on your future and the recovery process. Focus on the great things that are sure to materialize when you have recovered from addiction. At Drug Treatment Center Gloucester we will guide you to embrace your prospects for a happy, productive, addiction-free life. A new life accomplishing long lost goals and dreams in your newly created addiction-free lifestyle. You will be healthier, have more energy, have greater success financially, have lasting relationships, be more productive at work, and have time to enjoy and explore new hobbies. Setting aside time to list out these goals can keep you excited and motivated throughout the recovery process.

Long Term Treatment goals

At Drug Rehab Facility Gloucester we have learned that the most important factor in determining success is whether the patient has completely overcome their addiction. Success can only be measured by the patient's belief in their ability to stay sober. Short term rehabilitation programs commonly fall short of this goal.
