Cocaine Addiction & Recovery Support Group
Cocaine addiction is the excessive intake of cocaine, and can result in physiological damage, lethargy, depression, or a potentially fatal overdose. Though the immediate craving to do more cocaine is strong and very common, this feeling usually subsides in most users within an hour. This craving can, as it has in many users, develop rather quickly into an intense...
Types of Addiction Treatment Centers
There are only a handful of basic types of addiction treatment programs, but thousands of combined variations of them. Here you will find some brief explanations about the most common types of treatment centers and which ones seem to be the most successful.
Contact us today to find an addiction treatment center that works for yourself or a loved one.
Inpatient Treatment
The most effective type of treatment is a long-term inpatient addiction treatment facility. While most inpatient centers run about 30 days, a long-term addiction treatment program can average around 90 days but may even be more than 12 months long.
An inpatient treatment center may also be called a residential facility because it is where people stay in a comfortable and secure environment away from home to deal with their substance abuse and addiction-related issues. The key to it being more successful is not just the change of environment, but you should also be aware of the type of treatment that is offered at the center, what they expect the result to be and what their discharge and aftercare plans consist of.
Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient treatment is where the majority of people go for addiction help due to time and money considerations, but unfortunately it is not very effective. The cravings, guilt and depression caused by substance abuse can make it too difficult to adhere to the counseling schedule or to practice self-restraint from drugs and alcohol. Relapse rates for outpatient treatment are often very high because of this, and treatment practioners often err by trying to prescribe more drugs to counteract those symptoms. These new drugs not only don't permanently solve the original problem but they also can carry very heavy side effects and possibly create a new dependency.
Biophysical Treatment
The most effective type of treatment we know if is called biophysical addiction treatment. This is a type of program that has both inpatient and outpatient treatment settings in various parts of the country and uses a very unique body cleansing process that gets rid of unwanted lingering side effects that drug residues leave behind even in other programs. This is a longer-term approach that also has an educational component that is not based on the typical 12 steps and is extremely successful compared to other types of programs. It is holistic in nature and does not prescribe any substitute drugs or medications at all, but instead uses nutritional supplements and vitamin therapy.
12-Step Treatment
The twelve steps were founded in 1936 and are the most widely used methods of addiction treatment in the country today. The original intents and purposes of the recovery group was to have former addicts help other addicts become clean and sober. While it does work for some people, it has been changed and severely altered through the decades and now most 12-step programs think that addiction is a treatable but uncurable brain disease that should include pharmaceuticals and that recovery is a life-long process where relapse is inevitable. Frankly, we do not support these alterations in the treatment and philosphy of addiction.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
treatment facilities are mixing the messages of inividuals that already do not believe they suffer from addiction. if i am a herion user, and go to AA i will hear stories about how someone attemted to get sober. their primary mood alter was alchol. so why do i need to go to a place where someone does not know what it is like to tie up my arm and shoot drugs? i need to be able to identify with someone like me. I am not attempting to get sober, i am attempting to get clean!
i understand that sober is a state of mind, but clean is about the body. you want it clean from substances. sober is about clarity. in narcotics anonymous we call it" the fog lifting".
and for stats majority of individuals that become substance free, and cease to drink alochol do it through CHURCH. THEY HAVE THE HIGHEST RATE OF INDIVIDUALS THAT RECOVER. BUT NO ONE WILL TELL YOU THAT BECAUSE RELIGION IS AGAINST THE LAW IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. FUNNY HOW THIS HAPPENS.
JUST SOME THOUGHTS.

When going to AA you just need to think to your self I do that with My Drug of choice Too...
AA & NA are the best and We (Addicts) usually started with alcohol first, so you need to remember that you are an Alcoholic as well as an Addict..
Thats what made me and many other people I know Relapse.." I can just drink and not get High on Drugs" well, You are still getting high just on a different drug and then you always go back to your drug of choice...
By the way, You will Never be "Recovered" you will always be an addict...
and ps I go to Church too and its Not against the law ????
I believe in a Higher Power that I chose to call God, Some people will choose something else..Hey whatever works... :)
