When someone says they have an alcohol or drug addiction, there are some things they should be aware of. It is important to know what kind of treatment works for each individual, how to identify symptoms, and whether seeking help is warranted.
There are many ways to find safe, effective medication-assisted treatments (MAT) for substance abuse. Some focus only on drugs, others include alcohol as a drug so they can be used together. MATs like these are typically referred to as pharmacotherapy because the medicine component is designed to work along with any other psychotherapies and lifestyle changes.
In addition to helping users stay sober, medications also facilitate successful reintegration back into society.
A medical monitoring facility is an ideal setting for individuals who suffer from addiction and also require mental health care. Medical detox is typically done in a hospital or outpatient clinic, and professionals monitor patients’ vital signs (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rates) as they withdraw from drugs and alcohol.
In addition to safety measures during withdrawal, medical monitoring allows doctors to evaluate how well your body responds to medication therapy. This helps determine if additional treatments are needed and what type of medications could be effective.
Because most people with addictions have co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, therapists at a medical monitoring program may help you deal with those issues as well.
