How Does Drug Addiction Develop?

Drug addiction is a complex condition. People living with addiction cannot control their substance use and typically need help to stop using drugs or alcohol.

People may begin using drugs for many reasons, including:

  • Curiosity about the effects of drugs
  • To fit in with peers
  • Taking addictive prescription medications, including stimulants, opioids, and benzodiazepines
  • To enhance athletic, academic, or other performance

Over time, drug use can change how a person’s body and brain work. People may develop tolerance, meaning they need to take higher doses to get the drug’s desired effects. Over time, they may develop physical dependence or addiction.

It can be very challenging to overcome drug addiction. Most people require intensive treatment to address the behavioral, emotional, and physical roots of this condition.

What to Expect in Drug Rehab

People have different needs during addiction treatment and recovery based on the severity of their addiction, mental health issues, and other factors. There are many levels of care and types of rehab programs. Access to different levels of care ensures people get the tailored care they need at each stage of recovery.

Typically, drug rehab programs include a combination of evidence-based therapies. A rehab treatment plan may include:

  • Assessments, screenings, and diagnostic testing
  • Medical detox programs
  • Behavioral therapies
  • Medication management
  • Relapse prevention education
  • Individual, group, and family therapy
  • Holistic therapies, such as yoga, mindfulness, animal therapy, creative expression, and exercise

People may also work with their treatment teams to develop an aftercare plan. An aftercare plan includes resources, therapies, and sources of support that support long-term addiction recovery.

Do I Need Drug Rehab?

It can be challenging to overcome drug or alcohol addiction. Recognizing the signs of addiction is the first step toward getting the help you need.

Some common signs of addiction include:

  • Using drugs or drinking more often than before
  • Needing to take higher doses of a drug to get the desired effects
  • Having cravings for drugs
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms if you stop using drugs
  • Having legal, social, or financial trouble related to substance use
  • Neglecting responsibilities due to substance use
  • Continuing to use drugs even when they cause significant harm

People with drug addiction typically cannot simply choose to stop using addictive substances. Most require significant support and treatment to stop using drugs and maintain their sobriety.

Exploring Our Levels of Care in Drug Rehab

Drug addiction treatment is available in several levels of care. Here is a brief overview of our levels of care.

  • Partial hospitalization program (PHP)
  • Intensive outpatient program (IOP)
  • Outpatient program (OP)
  • Aftercare programs

Partial hospitalization program (PHP)

Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) are the most intensive form of outpatient addiction treatment. People may spend several hours daily, every weekday, engaging in up to 20 hours a week of treatment sessions. This is our highest level of care that incorporates aspects of both inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol rehab.

Intensive outpatient program (IOP)

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides high-quality treatment on some or all days of the week. People may attend treatment sessions during the day or evening, depending on their needs and schedule. Intensive outpatient programs allow the people in treatment to continue to live their regular, everyday lives, largely uninterrupted, while still attending rehab.

Here at Lifetime Recovery in New Jersey, our intensive outpatient programs require each person participating to come to our rehab facility anywhere from 3-5 times a week. Our IOP programs require clients to participate in a minimum of 9 hours of therapy each week.

Get Help Today

Outpatient program (OP)

Outpatient (OP) treatment, like intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), lets people live at home and continue with work, school, and daily routines while getting help.

The main difference is the time commitment. OP requires just a few hours of therapy once or twice a week, while IOP involves at least 9 hours of treatment spread over three to five days.

Aftercare programs

Aftercare programs may include community support, mental health treatment, therapies, and more. An aftercare program may help people maintain their recovery after completing a rehab program.
