What Makes Our Inpatient Drug Rehab Different? Woman With erapist During Inpatient Drug Rehab Are you struggling with substance abuse? If so, one of the most benecial treatment options is inpatient drug rehab. At Memphis Recovery, we strive to make our inpatient program dierent from other rehab centers. Below is more information about this type of program and how ours stands out from the rest. What Is Inpatient Drug Rehab? Before you fully understand how our program is dierent from other facilities, you have to know what inpatient drug rehab is. is type of rehab program involves you spending a month or more at a rehab center. Staying on campus 24/7 eliminates outside inƒuences and allows you to focus solely on recovery. Also known as residential treatment, an inpatient drug rehab program provides individuals with valuable resources needed to overcome addiction. With treatment lasting from 30–90 days, it gives individuals time to step back and see the big picture. It also gives therapists time to discover the underlying reasons behind an addiction. Benets of Our Inpatient Drug Rehab Studies show that the most benecial aspect of an inpatient drug rehab program is that it set a solid foundation for recovery. During their stay, clients gain access to various types of psychological therapy and counseling.

erapists at Memphis Recovery use these programs to provide to treat addiction at its core. Our nonprot addiction treatment organization treats a wide range of drug abuse problems and addictions, including: Opioids Meth Cocaine Prescription drugs Alcohol However, our inpatient drug rehab programs incorporate more than just therapy and counseling. We combine spiritual healing with compassionate emotional support, which eectively addresses the psychological aspect of addiction. Individualized Treatment Plans While there’s no shortage of inpatient drug rehab programs, most of them shy away from individualized treatment plans . Our focus on custom recovery plans is programs at Memphis Recovery last longer and are more eective than other facilities. For example, our inpatient drug rehab for adolescents lasts for at least three months. In some cases, it can last even longer, not to mention that our subsequent aftercare programs can last up to six months in some cases. Another big dierence is that our rehab center is strictly nonpro†t. is allows us to provide aordable inpatient programs tailored to each person’s individual needs. Our goal is to put the success and dignity of our clients †rst. Unlike other inpatient programs that strictly rely on talk therapy, we incorporate both art and music to relieve emotional and physical stress. rough the use of art, we help clients improve communication skills and embrace creativity. rough music, we help clients cope with stress and anxiety.

Studies also prove that art and music help individuals overcome depression. We place a huge emphasis on these elements since depression is a normal emotion during addiction recovery. Let Memphis Recovery Help Treat Your Addiction At Memphis Recovery, our nonpro†t approach allows us to put clients †rst. Whether its adult or teen addiction treatment, we take pride in creating unique, individualized recovery plans. We oer such a wide range of therapy options and programs that allow clients to progress at their own pace.

“We were surprised that morphine was able to induce these really long-lasting changes,” says Dr. Peter Grace, the study’s lead author. Dr. Grace says the cause of the chronic pain increase has to do with cells that form part of the immune system. He says if those areas could be isolated or their eects reduced, the resulting pain may not be as great. “If it does turn out to be a relevant issue to patients, then what our study suggests is that targeting the immune system may be the key to avoiding these kinds of eects,” Dr. Grace says. “Opioids could essentially work better if we could shut down the immune system in the spinal cord.” e team’s research only looked at spinal cord injuries and morphine, and did not study other opioids that are commonly prescribed to patients experiencing pain. But he said it’s likely drugs like Vicodin or OxyContin could aect other parts of the body in a similar way. “While we haven't actually tested other opioids in this particular paradigm, we predict that we would see similar eects,” Dr. Grace says.

ain relievers are supposed to relieve pain. It sounds simple enough, but new research suggests a common pain medication may actually be prolonging chronic pain. Morphine is an opioid painkiller commonly prescribed in hospitals and clinics, and while it is eective in the short term, doctors don’t always consider the potential consequences for pain down the road. at’s why a team of researchers based out of the University of Colorado - Boulder set out to study how morphine treatment aects chronic pain, and found some troubling results. e team, which used mice with spinal cord injuries, found that in mice not given morphine, their pain thresholds went back to normal about four to ve weeks after the injury. But mice who were given morphine didn’t see their pain levels return to normal until around 10 to 11 weeks, meaning the use of morphine eectively doubled the length of their chronic pain. P

Chronic problem Chronic pain can be debilitating for many people facing serious health problems, and it can also be a key factor in substance abuse. Many people report developing a dependence on opioids after having them prescribed for an injury. But new research suggests the number of people who develop dependency issues because of chronic pain may be far higher than people realize. A study from researchers at Boston University looked at a group of nearly 600 people who had either used illicit substances or misused prescription drugs.

ey found that 87 percent reported suering from chronic

pain, with 50 percent of those people rating their pain as severe. ey also found that 51 percent of people who had used illicit drugs like marijuana, cocaine and heroin had done so to treat their pain. While many prevention eorts focus on recreational users, the numbers suggest that chronic pain plays just as prominent a role in substance abuse. “Many patients using illicit drugs, misusing prescription drugs and using alcohol reported doing so in order to self-medicate their pain,” the authors of the study wrote. “Pain needs to be addressed when patients are counseled about their substance use.”

Sign of the times Experts say the newly approved implant also provides a big boost to the concept of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in general. For years, the idea that someone could achieve recovery through the use of drugs like methadone and buprenorphine was rejected by many professionals in the eld who saw complete abstinence as the only true sobriety. Many still hold that belief, but attitudes appear to be changing. Top government oŽcials say they want to increase the amount of MAT taking place at the country’s treatment centers. Several states as well as the federal government have enacted laws making it easier for physicians to prescribe medications like buprenorphine, but they say too few patients receive the medication they need. National Institute on Drug Abuse, in a statement. “is product will expand the treatment alternatives available to people suering from an opioid use disorder.” ] [ "Opioid abuse and addiction have taken a devastating toll on American families.” - Dr. Robert M. Cali, FDA Commissioner “Scientic evidence suggests that maintenance treatment with these medications in the context of behavioral treatment and recovery support are more eective in the treatment of opioid use disorder than short-term detoxication programs aimed at abstinence,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the

M edication-assisted treatment is growing in popularity and acceptance among addiction recovery professionals. And now it’s taken a revolutionary step forward that could oer renewed hope to thousands of people struggling with an addiction to opioids. is summer, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a new buprenorphine implant to treat opioid dependence. Buprenorphine had previously been available only as a pill or a dissolvable lm placed under the tongue. But the new implant, known as Probuphine, can administer a six-month dose of the drug to keep those dependent on opioids from using by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. "Opioid abuse and addiction have taken a devastating toll on American families,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert M. Cali said in a statement. “We must do everything we can to make new, innovative treatment options available that can help patients regain control over their lives.” e implant comes in the form of four one-inch rods that are placed under the skin on the upper arm. e implant must be administered surgically and comes with the possibility of certain side eects, but experts say it could be more convenient and more eective for patients. ey say by eliminating the need to take pills, ll prescriptions and generally manage their medication, it makes it easier for people to focus on the other areas of their recovery while making it less likely someone will lapse in their treatment plan.

Although the implant is certainly a new alternative, it has yet to show any increased success in keeping people from relapsing compared to the pill or lm tablet. In a study of the implant’s eectiveness, they found that 63 percent of people given the implant were free of illicit drugs at six months, compared to 64 percent of people who took buprenorphine by pill. Still, those rates are much higher than the success rates of people who follow abstinence-only treatment plans. And oŽcials hope the new implant will lead more people to get MAT, increasing the number of successful recoveries across the country.

Family Therapy Program Individuals struggling with addiction have many program options available. Family therapy is among the most common and most eective. Not only is it eective in providing support, but it can also show family members how they enabled an addiction in the rst place. hile therapy involving family members can be helpful, it won’t stop addiction by itself. erapy is just one important piece to a much larger puzzle. e road to recovery is long, but therapy can help. What Is Family erapy? In order to understand the benets of family counseling, it’s important to know what actually denes a family. Some people think of family members as people who are related by blood, while others consider their close friends family. e Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) denes a family as people who have a close emotional connection. Eective family therapy stems from the idea that the family is a system. Whether positive or negative, all of the people in that system have an eect on each other. erefore, if one person changes or has a problem, it impacts the entire family.

w

Keeping that in mind, family therapy typically involves sessions or meetings with various family members or close friends. Sometimes, these meetings involve the loved one with the addiction. Other times, the sessions only involve certain family members. In either case, the end goal remains to develop an understanding for the person who’s suering from addiction. Benets of Family-Involved erapy People typically lump all forms of family therapy together. However, there are actually many dierent types. One example of this is family-involved therapy. Family-involved therapy doesn’t follow the same traditional format of other counseling sessions. Since certain relationship patterns can contribute to loved ones developing an addiction, this type of counseling educates family members about issues such as:

Beyond that, this style of therapy allows family members to voice their own anxieties and conŽicts. is element is important because it helps those with addiction see that their actions impact more than just themselves. e goal is to rebuild trust among family members and rekindle the family support system. Get the Support You Need at Memphis Recovery At Memphis Recovery, we oer a lot more than just family therapy sessions.

Substance abuse, Addiction, Related behaviors, Psychological problems, Medical problems is type of counseling helps because not all family members fully understand addiction. Not understanding makes it hard for them to oer emotional and psychical support. Family-involved therapy lets the family know that addiction isn’t a choice, but rather a mental disorder. How Family erapy Helps Family Members When individuals receive addiction therapy, most of the sessions revolve around helping just them. However, family therapy aims to help the whole family. Not only does it help the aected loved one, but family members get to work through their issues as well. e best family therapy programs promote the fact that the family dynamic impacts addiction, both positively and negatively in some instances.

What is Dual Diagnosis? Sometimes people have a mental illness prior to their addiction. Other times, people develop a mental illness due to their continued substance abuse. Whichever the case, dual diagnosis treatment helps patients combat co-occurring addiction and mental health issues. At MRC, our staƒ collaborates with a patient’s current physician or psychiatrist (when applicable) to determine the best course of action for treating addiction and mental health issues, including: Personality disorders Anxiety disorders Depression Bipolar disorders What is Trauma erapy? Individuals often resort to substance abuse to cope with past traumatic experiences. For instance, a patient may have suƒered from physical or sexual abuse as a child. As a result, many continue to deal with anxiety or stress even as they get older. Trauma therapy helps individuals cope with the related anxiety without resorting to drug or alcohol use.

Dual Diagnosis & erapy Substance abuse and addiction are di cult enough to overcome by themselves. You have to learn to not only stop using the substance, but also how to change behaviors to ensure a prosperous future. However, an underlying mental health issue can make addiction even more di cult to overcome. MRC utilizes dual diagnosis and trauma therapy to help treat co-occurring disorders simultaneously for a comprehensive recovery. TRAMA

individuals directly into an IOP program. Benets of an IOP Program An IOP program has numerous benets. For starters, people in these programs can continue attending to their family responsibilities outside of treatment. Residential programs require people to leave home to focus primarily on recovery. While residential treatment is certainly a valuable component to addiction recovery, it’s diŒcult for people who have families to get away for treatment. Intensive outpatient programs also allow individuals to continue their education or maintain their jobs. Not everyone can get time o€ of work to completely focus on recovery. In some situations, they also can’t a€ord to take time o€ of work. IOP programs prevent this from being a problem. Family Support Structure Sometimes, family involvement o€ers the best support structure. While enrolled in an IOP program, individuals benet from having more family support because they don’t have to leave their families behind. Residential programs still allow for family support, but they don’t allow for it as much as IOP programs. Additionally, these programs keep family members and loved ones up to date on treatment progress. IOP programs allow people to return home daily and report back to their families on daily events. It also helps increase family members’ understanding of the entire process.

Access to Professional Support IOP programs allow people to remain independent while still giving them access to professional support. ‰ey encourage individuals to reach out to their therapists and counselors when they have problems or need guidance. During these programs, rehab centers still create personalized plans that have individual needs in mind. Get Help for Your Addiction at Memphis Recovery Located in Memphis, Tennessee, Memphis Recovery o€ers both residential and IOP programs.

It’s impossible to treat addiction overnight. Recovery requires long-term discipline and multiple steps. One of these steps is often an intensive outpatient or IOP program. Since these programs play such a huge role in ghting addiction, it’s important to understand the basics of IOP. Knowing what to expect can inspire individuals to take action and seek treatment. What Is an IOP Program? An IOP program o€ers a ‚exible addiction treatment solution, allowing individuals to continue living their daily lives. Instead of staying at onsite 24/7 like in residential treatment programs, intensive outpatient programs allow people to live at home. Despite being able to live at home, individuals still go to the rehab center for treatment sessions. How often they attend treatment and the length of these sessions vary greatly between rehab centers. However, sessions typically last upwards of three hours. Some centers also require clients to check in daily. While IOP programs are an important step of addiction recovery, they generally aren’t the rst step. ‰e most e€ective rehab facilities prefer their clients to complete a residential program rst. In some cases where an addiction seems less severe, however, facilities can place
