Addiction, which is classified as uncontrollable substance use despite negative consequences, is often accompanied by both physical and psychological dependence. Physical dependence is typically indicated when the amount of a substance consumed must be increased in order to achieve the desired effect; withdrawal is often a risk factor for people who are physically dependent. Psychological dependence involves the complex emotional and cognitive aspects of a person’s addiction. With both physical and mental components at play, addiction recovery on one’s own can be extremely difficult to achieve.

Transcend Recovery Community provides access to addiction recovery treatments. If you’re seeking addiction help, we can assist you in overcoming your addiction.

What Is Addiction Recovery?

Addiction recovery is a multifaceted process, targeting the physical and psychological wellness of one’s life. People pursuing recovery are empowered to reach their full potential through physical and emotional sobriety. Oftentimes, addicts will seek treatment for addiction at a rehab or designated treatment facility; once treatment is completed, additional support and continuous engagement in their recovery is necessary to attain long-term sobriety.

A fairly common misconception regarding recovery is that a “finish line” is reached once a treatment program is completed or total abstinence is achieved. However, most people who relapse do so within the first 90 days of treatment. Therefore, recovering addicts need multiple resources of support in order to thrive in sobriety.

Does Transcend Provide Treatment for Addiction?

Transcend focuses attention on having programs that cater to the individual needs of those who are suffering from addiction. We work diligently with our sister program, The Heights Treatment, to provide addiction treatment options that are inclusive of those with varying needs. Additionally, we further strengthen the pillars of recovery by focusing on aspects of life such as community, self-care, life skills, and spirituality.

Our treatment program is one in which we employ a targeted and in-depth approach to achieving and maintaining client sobriety. Instead of solely focusing on the addiction present, we also aim to understand the underlying issues that led to its occurrence. We believe that adequately solving a problem requires a comprehensive understanding of the root causes behind it. Using this information, we assist our clients in addressing their personal barriers to sobriety.

Overcoming addiction also requires consistent client commitment to their program. With our skilled staff and thoughtful programming, clients will ultimately gain the sense of motivation needed to maintain their newfound lifestyle.

Can Addiction Be Treated Successfully?

Much like diabetes or cancer, addiction is a chronic and progressive disease. If left untreated, addiction can and often does result in death. While it is not considered curable, it is luckily a treatable disease that can be managed. Our practice would not exist if the desired outcome of recovery was impossible.

Although it is treatable, overcoming addiction is not necessarily an easy process. Plenty of people relapse, and unfortunately, many of them never consider the possibility of treatment again. While other progressive diseases are treated aggressively in case of relapse, the general public often places blame on the addict to make them feel like they failed.

It is essential to remember humans are capable of mistakes, and relapse does not indicate that a person is beyond help. Successful treatment requires a proper understanding of the client and a detailed and feasible addiction recovery plan. Perhaps one of the most key components to long-term sobriety is engagement in treatment on the client’s behalf. Chances of relapse diminish significantly with steady commitment and willingness to participate in one’s recovery.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Addiction?

While addiction affects individuals differently, there are general signs and symptoms that can be present to indicate active addiction. Evidence of addiction is found through various physical, social, and psychological changes. An addict may experience many or only some symptoms.

Physical symptoms arise in addiction as the body’s functions and organ systems are significantly affected by repeated drug use. Physical symptoms include:

• Changes in appearance

• Insomnia or increased need for sleep

• Increased drug tolerance

• Withdrawal symptoms when not using

• Changes in appetite

• Diseases spurred from using drugs (i.e. liver problems, respiratory illness, vascular disease, etc.)

Social symptoms manifest as changes in the ways that addicted individuals interact with their peers. Social symptoms of addiction include:

• Decreased interest in hobbies

• Financial difficulties

• Avoiding detection by having stashes of the addictive substance in various places

• Isolation

• Denial of addiction

• Using alone or in secret in order to hide it from others

• Legal issues

Psychological symptoms can be the most challenging addiction symptoms to identify. Psychological symptoms include:

• Unable to stop using despite previous attempts

• Using substance as a coping mechanism when dealing with problems

• Engaging in risky behavior

• Becoming obsessed with the drug

• Ignoring/denying health problems related to using, etc.

How Do Behavioral Therapies Treat Drug Addiction?

There are various therapy modalities used to assist clients in recovering from their addiction. Having multiple approaches is essential, as one certain type of therapy may not be suited for all clients.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy used to reprogram a person’s cognitive and emotional processes. A goal of CBT is to reframe a client’s negative thoughts and beliefs, which ultimately influence their behavior. CBT is frequently used in relapse prevention, as it provides the client with tools to alter their perceptions, moods, and behaviors leading them to a relapse.

Though CBT and DBT are our most commonly implemented therapies, Transcend does have other approaches used in addiction treatment. The ultimate goal of all therapies used is to rewire the client’s brain and adjust perception in crucial areas. With steady progress in therapy, clients begin to develop the mental and emotional fortitude needed for long-term sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and is often highly effective in tough-to-treat cases and in clients with co-occurring psychological disorders. This type of therapy aims to improve stress management and communication skills, heighten self-confidence, and motivate clients to remove potential triggers from their daily lives.

Can Someone Overcome Their Addiction?

Developing an addiction does not signify weakness or unworthiness in a person. Oftentimes, willpower, and self-control alone are not enough to overcome an addiction and maintain long-term sobriety.

Though it may seem daunting or even impossible, recovering from an addiction is an attainable reality for many who seek it. The process demands commitment, willingness, and honesty with oneself; additionally, with adequate support and dedicated motivation, a client’s chances of recovery are strong. It is essential to note that recovery from addiction does not occur overnight. While some may progress quicker than others through treatment, the life-changing experience that is sobriety requires time and steady effort. Recovery is often considered a marathon, not a sprint.

Transcend accepts clients for where they’re at in their recovery journey, regardless of how quickly or slowly they’re advancing through the process. Our ultimate objective is to provide clients with ample support and encouragement as they walk the road to a happier and healthier life.
