Understanding the Types of Drug Dependence and How We Help

Alcohol is one of the most frequently abused substances in the U.S., and alcohol use disorder can develop slowly. Our alcohol dependency program provides patients with medically supervised detoxification and therapy to assist them in developing a solid base for achieving lasting recovery.

Opiates include prescription pain killers and illicit drugs such as heroin. Due to the intensity of withdrawal and cravings, our opiate dependency program utilizes medical detoxification, medication assisted treatment, and therapy to aid patients in recovering from dependency.

Heroin is a powerful opiate that rapidly alters brain chemistry. Our heroin dependency program uses medical detoxification and evidence-based care to alleviate withdrawal symptoms as well as address underlying motivations for dependency.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate so potent that even a small amount can be lethal. Our fentanyl dependency program provides patients with medically supervised detoxification and total care to address the serious risks posed by this substance.

Benzodiazepines (also called benzos) such as Xanax, Valium, Ativan, and Klonopin possess a real potential for dependency. Since stopping suddenly can pose a hazard, our benzodiazepine dependency program uses a slow and carefully monitored approach to withdrawal.

Methamphetamine is a powerful stimulant that profoundly impacts the brain’s reward pathway. Our meth dependency program combines medical detox with evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy to support ongoing recovery.

Cocaine is a stimulant with a high potential for psychological dependency. Our cocaine addiction treatment program emphasizes therapy, relapse prevention as well as treating any co-occurring mental health disorders.

Adderall is a prescription stimulant used to treat ADHD, with real potential for misuse and dependence, especially among students and young adults. Our Adderall program combines medical support with evidence-based therapy to manage cravings and help build lasting recovery.

Club drugs are a group of substances often used at parties and concerts, including MDMA (ecstasy or molly), GHB, ketamine, and others. These drugs can carry serious risks, including dangerous interactions and cardiac risks. Our club drug program offers medically supervised care and therapy tailored to each substance and person.

Sleeping pills, including certain sedative-hypnotics, can be habit-forming, and dependence may develop even when use begins with a prescription for insomnia. Stopping suddenly can be difficult, so our sleeping pill program provides a carefully supervised approach paired with therapy to address the roots of sleep struggles.

Kratom is a plant-based substance that affects the brain in ways similar to opioids and stimulants, depending on the dose, and regular use can lead to dependence and withdrawal. Our kratom program offers medically supervised detox and evidence-based therapy to support a steady, lasting recovery.

Inhalants are common household and industrial products misused for their mind-altering effects, and they can cause serious, sometimes irreversible harm to the brain and body. Our inhalant program provides compassionate medical care and therapy to address both the physical effects and the underlying causes of use.

Barbiturates are sedatives that depress the central nervous system, and they carry a high risk of dependence and dangerous withdrawal. Since stopping abruptly can be life-threatening, our barbiturate program offers carefully supervised medical detox alongside therapy to support safe, lasting recovery.

While often seen as harmless, marijuana can lead to dependence, and some people develop cannabis use disorder marked by cravings and difficulty stopping. Our marijuana program offers evidence-based therapy and compassionate support to help individuals regain balance and build healthier coping skills.
