Opioid Addiction Treatment
Opioid addiction is a public health crisis that has impacted tens of millions of American families. We offer effective opioid addiction treatment to individuals experiencing opioid use disorder (OUD) and other forms of substance use disorder (SUD). Desert Willow Wellness uses personalized care plans, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and other services to help you heal from the effects of substance abuse.
Opioid Addiction Treatment Rooted in Compassion, Community, and Personalized Care
Opioid addiction treatment at Desert Willow Wellness is rooted in compassionate care. We have created a thriving community of sober peers and addiction recovery professionals. Your family can feel confident sending a loved one to our treatment facility.
Early intervention and treatment remain the best way to avoid opioid overdose or other potential side effects of OUD. We treat substance use disorders with behavioral therapy, support groups, and other evidence-based therapies.
During rehabilitation, you will learn the necessary skills to do the following:
-
Repair relationships damaged by substance use
-
Create healthy routines
-
Develop positive coping strategies
-
Learn essential life skills
-
Reduce stress using holistic therapies
-
Practice self-care in a structured environment
-
Improve mood and emotional regulation
Rehabilitation programs help you recover from the effects of opioid addiction while leading you on a path toward a brighter future. You will also improve your physical health by eating nutritious meals, staying active, and establishing a consistent sleep routine to enhance sleep quality. We offer regular, balanced meals and a variety of leisure activities to improve overall wellness.
Understanding Opioid Addiction and Its Impact
Opioid addiction often co-occurs with other forms of SUD and mental health issues. Understanding the risk factors and health impact of OUD can assist individuals in seeking treatment before they experience an overdose or develop long-term side effects.
Risk factors for opioid addiction or dual diagnosis include:
-
Age
-
Genetics
-
Family members with a history of substance abuse or mental health disorders
-
Environmental factors, including parental drug use
-
Peer pressure
-
Frequent, chronic behavioral issues
-
Impulsivity and lack of self-control
-
Risk-taking or self-harming behaviors
-
Social isolation and withdrawal
-
Chronic health conditions, including chronic pain
Prescription and illicit opioids affect the opioid receptors responsible for regulating reward and pain centers in the brain. Younger individuals may experience significant changes to their cognitive development if they abuse substances. Adolescents who use drugs or abuse alcohol have an increased likelihood of being diagnosed with OUD.
Our Inclusive and Individualized Approach to Opioid Addiction Treatment
Effective treatment for opioid addiction addresses all active conditions and their underlying causes. We employ a holistic approach to client care, ensuring your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being throughout rehabilitation. Every treatment plan includes tailored recovery goals designed to move you forward in your recovery journey. Our inclusive and comprehensive services support lasting sobriety and personal growth.
Treatment Options for Opioid Use Disorder at Desert Willow Wellness
The types of treatment we offer at Desert Willow Wellness include:
-
Detox and withdrawal management
-
Residential treatment programs
-
Aftercare services
-
Alumni support
Individuals recovering from chronic use of opioids benefit from participating in our continuum of care, gradually regaining independence through each treatment program. We also partner with local health care providers, offering referrals for clients who may wish to participate in outpatient services.
Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
MAT allows you to manage cravings and other withdrawal symptoms using prescription medications, including:
-
Buprenorphine
-
Methadone
-
Naltrexone
We utilize detailed assessments and collaborate closely with each client to ensure they receive the level of care necessary for a safe and effective recovery. For some individuals, this involves tapering off opioids using prescription medications. MAT is most often used during the detoxification process to reduce the risk of medical complications and decrease symptoms of withdrawal.
Therapeutic and Holistic Support
You may benefit from incorporating holistic and alternative therapies into your personalized rehabilitation program. We collaborate closely with clients to ensure they play an active role in treatment planning. According to Frontiers in Psychiatry, “Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) offers therapeutic practices that are not typically used in current conventional allopathic medical practice, such as diet, acupuncture, and meditation.” Desert Willow Wellness offers a range of holistic therapies, including mindfulness-based techniques, to support recovery from SUD.
Holistic therapies foster a whole-person approach to rehabilitation. A whole-person approach addresses more than the disease of addiction. In addition to treating substance abuse, it helps you identify the various areas of your life that impact your sobriety and overall health, providing practical solutions for managing these areas and enhancing your quality of life.
Levels of Care Offered
Our different levels of care support long-term treatment by preparing you for ongoing recovery through skill development and relapse prevention strategies. Every program uses therapy, peer support, and other services to reduce the risk of relapse, promote self-accountability, and develop essential life skills.
Our programs give you the resources and tools to navigate rehab and independent sobriety without falling back into unhealthy patterns of behavior. Every level of care ensures you have the necessary support and guidance to maintain sobriety and positive mental health.
Detox and Withdrawal Management in a Supportive Setting
Individuals with chronic pain or other medical conditions may become addicted to extended-release opioids. Detox from these substances often involves tapering off gradually using MAT. Opioid withdrawal generally takes a few days. However, the duration may vary depending on the type of substance and the time since the last dose. Medications for opioid use disorder allow you to successfully manage withdrawal symptoms while preparing for the next stage of treatment.
The welcoming and supportive environment at Desert Willow Wellness helps reduce stress and fosters mutual support through peer therapy and group activities. You will have the opportunity to build a lasting, positive relationship with others who share similar experiences and goals. The serene setting and comfortable amenities give you a healthy space to heal and detox from opioids or other substances.
Outpatient and Inpatient Opioid Treatment Programs
We offer outpatient services for individuals in continuing care, as well as referrals to more comprehensive outpatient support for those who require it. We connect alumni and their families with local opioid treatment and addiction recovery services to ensure a smooth transition from residential treatment to aftercare.
Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs generally offer the following:
-
Individual therapy
-
Group therapy
-
Family therapy
-
Peer support groups
-
Access to community events
-
Addiction recovery workshops
-
Medication management
-
Aftercare planning
-
Holistic therapies and alternative medicine
Desert Willow Wellness can connect you to the services you and your family need to heal from the effects of chronic opioid abuse.
Support Beyond Treatment: Family, Community, and Aftercare
Aftercare plays a critical role in relapse prevention by ensuring you continue to access essential recovery services. Telehealth and other online resources increase the accessibility of aftercare and community support. According to the Journal of Substance Use and Addiction Treatment, “The widespread availability of newer communication technology opens up the possibility of providing recovery supports anywhere, anytime.” Desert Willow Wellness connects clients to helpful recovery services and offers ongoing support to alumni.
