W e believe that addiction and emotional issues are one part of a more complex problem. Simply treating symptoms will never be enough. Instead, we pride ourselves on our multifaceted and holistic treatment approach. A holistic approach to substance abuse treatment looks at each patient as a whole person rather than just their illness or a collection of symptoms. Holistic rehabs, like Telstone in Florida, will aim to heal physical, mental, and spiritual, as well as emotional and environmental, challenges, and will use many different therapies, including conventional and alternative treatments, to achieve holistic drug and alcohol recovery. As a holistic treatment center, we • use 28+ evidence-based modalities (CBT, DBT, EMDR, MAT, MI, and many more) • employ a multi-disciplinary team • prioritize family inclusion in treatment • evaluate each patient as an individual and conduct detailed assessments for each patient that takes into account all of the different aspects of their life: physical, emotional, and mental health, as well as mind, body, and spirit
Telstone IOP is a West Palm Beach behavioral health facility. We offer outpatient substance abuse treatment and mental health services for those in Palm Beach County who are dealing with co-occurring disorders. Our behavioral health programs address the challenges of individuals who require support and guidance in these areas. Here at Telstone IOP, we believe that simply treating the symptoms of addiction and mental health disorders is an incomplete approach. Our program is founded on the philosophy that addiction, turmoil, and emotional issues are symptoms of a deeper and more complex problem. Our goal is to identify and treat that complex issue using a comprehensive and compassionate approach to emotional and behavioral healing. We accomplish this by treating a person, wholly, through empowerment, connection, and evidence-based therapies. By taking into consideration a person’s past, present, and future, we focus on who they were, who they are, and who they will become.

F amily group counseling or family therapy is when the family members seek counseling together. While it helps everyone in the family to participate, family therapy doesn’t require everyone to attend. A form of psychotherapy, family therapy is typically short-term with specific goals. By focusing on the family dynamics and interactions, family counselors explore the patterns, conflicts, and how the family communicates.

New study looks to pinpoint transition from prescription opioids to heroin
Stopping heroin use before it begins may be the best remedy for the country’s growing epidemic. A new study looks to pinpoint the times and ways that young people rst use the dangerous drug in hopes of strengthening prevention efforts. For three years, researchers at Wright State University tracked nearly 400 18- to 23-year-olds in Columbus, Ohio, who used illicit prescription opioids but were not opioid-dependent. Of the 362 participants, 27 eventually transitioned to heroin, a rate of 7.5 percent. “We were surprised at the number of people who transitioned to heroin,” says Dr. Robert Carlson, the study’s lead researcher. “We had really no idea of what exactly we’d be able to predict.”
Predicting risk
Researchers found several predictors of increased risk of heroin use, starting with the ways in which the opioids were being used. Those who crushed or snorted the prescription drugs were far more likely to transition to heroin. “It increases the speed at which the drug is hitting the system and makes people much more liable to becoming dependent,” Dr. Carlson says. “If people can become aware that if they even think about starting to use via a non-oral route, they are heading off on a very dangerous path.”

Racial divide
The study also saw a difference in race among those who eventually turned to heroin. Despite roughly half the participants being African-American or Hispanic, all of the individuals who ultimately used heroin were white. Although the study could not determine the reasons behind such a strong racial divide, Dr. Carlson suggests that social networks, generational use and other circumstances could be signi cant factors. National data shows the heroin epidemic has increasingly hit white males the hardest. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that between 2002 and 2013, heroin use among non-Hispanic whites increased 114 percent.
Age is just a number
The new NIDA-funded study targeted 18- to 23-year-olds because they are arguably at the highest risk for substance abuse. The study did not look at other age groups. But when considering the factors that may move a person from prescription opioids to heroin, Dr. Carlson believes age is just a number. “I wouldn’t think the risk factors for transition to heroin would be much different regardless of age group,” Dr. Carlson says. While the risk factors may be the same across age groups, the most deadly effects of heroin use are not. Research has shown that those most at risk of a heroin-related overdose fall in the 25 to 44 age range.
Targeted approach
It’s important to keep in mind that the vast majority of prescription opioid users will not move on to heroin. And signi cant research is still needed to determine the social, environmental and biological factors that contribute to a person transitioning to heroin. But Dr. Carlson says he’s encouraged by the progress being made and believes the groundwork has been laid to develop effective treatment and intervention programs. “The really exciting thing to come out of this is it really gives us a rm foundation of some variables that could be targeted to prevent transition to heroin and transition to dependence,” Dr. Carlson says.

A t Telestone we have Individual therapy, which takes place when a client is speaking with their therapist during a session. The goal of individual therapy is for the client to overcome a difficult issue, which could range from anything from painful memories, drug abuse, and grief to insomnia or anxiety. Individual therapy can also be used to increase self-esteem or compassion. In short, individual therapy is all about self- growth. Individual therapy is more intimate and private than other forms of treatment, such as group therapy. As a result, individual therapy is usually the most conducive for drug counseling. Individual drug counseling has two objectives: • To understand the consequences and symptoms of the client’s addiction. • To guide the client through rehabilitation.

rape in their lifetime. Integrated treatment
Treatment centers are beginning to recognize the need for integrated treatment techniques for victims undergoing substance abuse recovery. Since there’s such a high prevalence of sexual abuse among addicts, integrated treatment offers a fuller recovery for sexual abuse victims. Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is one common form of treatment. In CBT, individuals are offered psychoeducation, therapy instructing and empowering them to deal with their condition in an optimal way. Stress management tools are also helpful. Individuals can be taught to change their situations or their reactions and how to maintain appropriate personal boundaries. The regulation of emotions can be a challenge for a person who has been sexually abused. In CBT, clients learn what emotions are socially tolerable and they learn how to be flexible enough to permit some spontaneity. Survivors are also taught how to delay emotional reactions as necessary.
Individuals can be taught to change their situations or their reactions, and how to take good care of themselves.
Integrated treatment for those suffering from substance abuse addiction and sexual abuse greatly increases the chance that this person will remain sober for the long haul. They can also experience greater joy and healing than if they were treated for substance abuse alone. Those in recovery are also urged to write down leisure activities they find enjoyable and engage in those activities regularly. Clients are also encouraged to use journaling and inspirational reading to further grow in their recovery. Finally, having a supportive group of friends and family will help an individual recover emotionally from this kind of trauma. Telling their story One effective aspect of CBT is for the person to do a “trauma narrative.” In addition to telling their story by the spoken word or writing it down, they can also use drawing, painting or other art forms to communicate the trauma. The narrative can then be shared with a safe person, like a trained therapist or substance abuse counselor. The hope is that the survivor will be able to let go of some of the trauma. Healing can then take place. Another facet of CBT is behavior management training. Clients are encouraged to stay calm in an emotionally charged situation, manage their own responses, learn what limits are appropriate, handle challenging questions and learn how to prevent physical confrontations with others. According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN), survivors are also encouraged to do what they can to heal themselves. Good sleep and nutrition, exercise, and regular routines like starting and ending the day in a peaceful way are a good place to start for people from this background.

S ubstance abuse IOPs are services for people who don’t meet the diagnostic standards for residential or inpatient treatment. It includes a broad spectrum of approaches and regimens and is more strict than a standard outpatient program but less intensive than an inpatient or a partial hospitalization program. An intensive outpatient treatment program is more time-intensive than most basic outpatient programs. IOPs for drug and alcohol addiction recovery usually take place more often than typical outpatient programs–usually 9 hours or more of treatment for 3 to 5 days per week. However, some provide more sessions per week or longer sessions each day. Still, other programs become less intensive over time. Since services are provided in outpatient settings they may be a longer treatment duration than that required for residential services.
Being allowed to remain in their own homes and communities during treatment improves patients’ adjustment to substance-free community life. Intensive outpatient programs usually meet on weekdays in the morning or evening. Programs usually include group therapy, although they might
include other services such as individual
therapy and employment assistance. Most programs include
regular drug testing
and the typical program duration is 90 days. What Are The Service Goals of Telstone’s IOP? • Learn early-stage relapse management • Develop coping techniques • Address problems associated with social, psychological, and emotional well-being.

Marijuana users are five times more likely to develop an alcohol abuse disorder, according to a new study
When it rains it pours. The old idiom may be familiar to many drug users who often find themselves battling more than one addiction. While previous research has shown multiple substance abuse disorders often go hand in hand, a new study suggests simply using marijuana can lead to a much higher risk of developing an alcohol use disorder.
Finding the Link Researchers at Columbia University analyzed data from 27,461 people who had used marijuana at the time of first testing, but had no history of alcohol related disorders. When researchers checked back three years later, they found marijuana users were five times more likely to have developed an alcohol abuse disorder.
Researchers said they were surprised the link wasn’t between marijuana use disorder, but simply marijuana use itself. “I think it’s important for people to be aware that there are certain behaviors that come with specific risks,” says Dr. Renee Goodwin, one of the lead researchers. “It would be particularly useful for youth.” Because youth are at a higher risk of experimenting with both drugs and alcohol, researchers said educating them about the total scope of risk is not only important, but could help curb problematic behaviors. “Preventing or delaying the onset of marijuana use could prevent or delay the onset of alcohol use disorder,” Dr. Goodwin says. “Statistically it should.”

Uses In Treatment For those already struggling with marijuana or alcohol use disorders, researchers said the knowledge that the two behaviors are linked could help people see the bigger picture of their addiction, and could prove useful in their journey toward recovery. “In some ways it may seem self- evident, but it may not be,” Dr. Goodwin says. “If you’re trying to quit drinking, it’s good to know that quitting marijuana could increase your chance of being successful.”
Zero relationship to mood and anxiety disorders As marijuana use has increased in the U.S., with some states even voting for legalization, some have wondered what the psychological cost will be to users. To investigate the question further, other researchers at Columbia University also conducted a recent study to determine if a link exists between increased marijuana use and psychiatric disorders. Although the results, published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, mimicked previous research in showing a strong relationship between marijuana use and other substance abuse disorders, the findings in regards to psychiatric disorders were much different. The study showed no relationship between marijuana use and increased instances of mood and anxiety disorders, only substance abuse disorders. But despite the lack of a connection, researchers still cautioned against public policy that could lead to increased marijuana use. “The lack of association between more frequent cannabis use with increased risk of most mood and anxiety disorders does not diminish the important public health significance of the association between cannabis use and increased prevalence and incidence of drug and alcohol use disorders,” the authors wrote.

A ddiction is a chronic yet treatable medical disease that involves complex interactions in an individual’s brain. Generally, these interactions relate to genetics, brain circuits, a person’s life experiences, and environment. Typically, individuals with substance use disorders or addiction engage in compulsive behaviors and it often leads to damaging consequences. It’s vital to remember that addiction doesn’t just happen in one day. Usually, several circumstances occur gradually that cause a person to engage in substance abuse. The addiction process occurs over a series of stages, and similar to other chronic diseases, it turns into a cycle. An individual might go through numerous attempts to stop engaging in substance use before realizing that addiction is a factor. However, once addiction is diagnosed, it is possible to interrupt the cycle. To do so, receiving professional help is recommended to achieve abstinence and sobriety. The likelihood of relapsing is extremely high during the early stages of recovery. At Telstone, there are multiple methods and resources available to help, including behavioral/cognitive therapies, physical/ mental health programs, and support groups. Each treatment plan is meant to encourage you or a loved one to develop sustainable tools to help manage your conditions and reduce the likelihood of drug use relapse.
