Alcohol Addiction Treatment

Addiction to alcohol is characterized by excessive drinking of alcohol causing chemical changes to one’s brain. People who are addicted to alcohol engage in compulsive drinking, experience a loss of control over the amount they intake, and enter a negative emotional state when there is no alcohol available.

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) can be mild to severe and includes conditions that are referred to as alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence, or alcoholism. People that suffer from an AUD exhibit extremely risky behavior, as they become willing to do almost anything to get their hands on some more alcohol. This is especially true when people that suffer from an AUD experience alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

People who are unable to stop abusing alcohol require alcohol rehab at a treatment facility. If you or someone you love is struggling with abusing alcohol it’s important to get help as soon as possible. At Live Free Recovery, in New Hampshire, our alcohol use disorder program includes detox, individual and group therapy, and aftercare planning. With our help, you can begin the recovery process that ends the cycle of alcohol abuse.

Alcohol Detox

Everyone that suffers from alcohol use disorder will experience withdrawal symptoms when they first minimize or discontinue their consumption of alcohol. This is because prior to developing their addiction, all individuals develop alcohol dependence, which is characterized by the experience of highly uncomfortable alcohol withdrawal symptoms whenever alcohol consumption is minimized or stopped.

Because we know that alcohol is one of, if not the most, commonly abused substances, we understand the necessity of alcohol use disorder treatment. That’s why we here at Live Free Recovery, in New Hampshire, have made alcohol use disorder one of the illnesses that we treat.

Because of how addictive alcohol is, people should detox from it at medical detox facilities. This is because only medical detox facilities contain doctors and medical staff on standby 24/7 to provide detox patients with prescription medications to help them manage their alcohol withdrawal symptoms to prevent relapse. Common prescription medications used to treat alcohol withdrawal include the following:

• Chlordiazepoxide (Ex. Librium)
• Clorazepate (Ex. Tranxene)
• Diazepam (Ex. Valium)
• Oxazepam (Ex. Serax)
• Carbamazepine ( Ex. Tegretol)
• Gabapentin (Ex. Neurontin)
• Oxcarbazepine (Ex. Trileptal)
• Valproic Acid (Ex. Depakene)
• Disulfiram ( Antabuse)
• Naltrexone ( Vivitrol and Revia)
• Acamprosate (Campral)

Drug Addiction Treatment

Similar to alcoholism, drug addiction is characterized by the experience of chemical changes occurring in one’s brain. Drug addiction is also characterized by the inability to stop using drugs even though one desires to. People that suffer from drug addiction are often willing to do anything to get more drugs. This includes lying, cheating, and stealing.

People that suffer from drug addiction also exhibit risky behavior to get more drugs because they too are trying to avoid experiencing withdrawal symptoms. This is because whenever a person with drug dependency and addiction minimizes or discontinues using drugs, he or she experiences withdrawal symptoms.

There is a wide variety of drugs that people often abuse. To ensure that we at Live Free Recovery, help treat any drug addiction that you suffer from, we provide overall drug addiction treatment services at our treatment center in New Hampshire.

Heroin Addiction Treatment

Heroin is considered to be one of the most addictive illicit substances. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), 6% of people who abuse opioids will switch to heroin. This is because it is a cheaper and more easily accessible option for those with an opioid use disorder.

At Live Free Recovery, in New Hampshire, we specialize in helping people recover from heroin addiction. We understand how difficult it can be to overcome this disease, and we are here to help you every step of the way. Our comprehensive heroin addiction treatment program includes detoxification, individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, and aftercare.

Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment

Benzodiazepines—also known as benzos—are a type of prescription medication used to treat anxiety, panic disorders, and seizures. Examples of common benzodiazepines include Xanax, Ativan, and Valium. While benzos can be effective in treating these conditions when taken as prescribed, they are also highly addictive.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), about 30% of people who misuse benzos develop an addiction. If you or someone you love is struggling with benzodiazepine addiction, it’s important to seek professional help. Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be dangerous, and even fatal. The expert medical staff, here at Live Free Recovery, in New Hampshire, will create a personalized treatment plan to help you safely detox and achieve recovery.

Cocaine Addiction Treatment

Cocaine is a powerful stimulant that is derived from the leaves of the coca plant. It can be snorted, injected, or smoked. Cocaine leads to a short, intense high followed by an unpleasant crash. Unfortunately, cocaine addiction is a serious problem, and it’s estimated that about 1.5 million people in the United States suffer from cocaine addiction.
