Addiction is as complex as it is common, and it can be incredibly difficult to know when something truly becomes an addiction. No matter what substance or behavior has taken hold, remember that you are not your addiction.
According to the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration, over 40 million Americans suffer from a substance abuse disorder. Millions more have been touched by addiction. Rest assured, there is a path forward and that journey will be as unique as you are.
Substance Abuse
From narcotics to alcohol and caffeine, substance abuse can take on many forms and can be easy to disguise. No matter what you’re struggling with, substance abuse therapy stands as a cornerstone in the journey towards recovery. This therapeutic approach unfolds in various forms, individualized to support you in the most effective way possible.
Behavioral Addictions
Behavioral addictions can be more difficult to see in yourself. From food to video games to pornography*, these activities begin to take over your daily life and your idle mind. Just like substance abuse, the journey to wellness begins with an individualized treatment strategy that addresses your unique challenges and fits within your life.
Note: Carencia does not currently treat video game or pornography addiction but can make high-quality referrals.
The line between use and abuse is different for everyone, but when a substance or behavior begins to dictate your everyday decisions such that you’re planning your life around them, it’s time to consider therapy.
Put in a more simple way, if you’re at the point that you’re concerned, you’re at the point where action should be taken. Addiction can also be a catalyst that drives you toward anxiety and depression — and in other cases, addiction stems from self-medicating other conditions. That’s why it’s so critical that we take a whole-person approach to your treatment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
One-on-one therapy to help teach patients to find connections between their thoughts, feelings, and actions and how they can impact their recovery. This is the main therapeutic method utilized by Carencia.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
Carencia uses medication-assisted treatment for treating addiction. Our addiction recovery programs are a two-headed approach. We help treat the physical responses with medicine while working to help learn skills to overcome addiction in sessions with our nurse practitioners.
Carencia treats a variety of addictions, including substance abuse (such as alcohol and drugs) and behavioral addictions (such as gambling and sex addiction).
Carencia utilizes therapy and medication together to treat addiction. Medications, such as Vivitrol, can help reduce cravings and manage withdrawal symptoms, while therapy can address the underlying psychological and emotional issues that contribute to addiction. Our team of healthcare providers will work with you to determine the best approach for your individual needs, including a combination of therapy and medication if deemed appropriate.
Vivitrol is an extended-release injectable medication used to treat addiction. It works by blocking the effects of opioids and reducing cravings. When taken as directed, Vivitrol can be an effective tool in the treatment of addiction, particularly for those struggling with opioid dependency.
Our comprehensive lab panel allows your Carencia clinician to have the most information available when cultivating your personalized treatment plan.
