We would like to take the time to inform you of our facility’s preventative measures we have put in place at both of our facilities.

1.All staff has received infection control and prevention training.
2. Thorough disinfection and hygiene guidelines have been provided.

4. Screening protocols have been enhanced such as a review of travel history, and current health status in an effort to reduce those with flu like symptoms from admitting to our facilities.

Both medical professional and psychology groups acknowledge that addiction is an illness. As such, people should refrain from being overly judgmental about an addiction sufferer’s behavior. To a large degree, however, they are helpless to control most of their actions as they relate to the addiction. The path to overcoming addictive behaviors starts with the selection of a quality addiction treatment center. At that point, the real work begins.

What are Addictive Behaviors

Drug addiction creates issues in sufferers’ lives. The concept of overcoming addictive behaviors doesn’t necessarily refer to the actual act of taking drugs or drinking. It refers to the things the drug user does to hide their addiction from others. For example, isolating oneself from family and friends would be one of those behaviors. Here’s a list of other behaviors one might see from a substance abuser:

Preoccupation with getting drugs or finding money to purchase drugs
Poor personal hygiene
Problems at work, school, or home
Criminal behavior
Not paying bills or caring for kids

The Process of Overcoming Addictive Behaviors

To get past behavior problems, the addiction sufferer will need to stop using and get treatment. As part of the treatment process, a rehab patient will spend hours and hours in intensive therapy and counseling. At the same time, they will go on a journey of self-discovery, with the intention of finding the causes of their addiction. Once the reasons come to light, the patient and their counselor can work on developing more effective coping skills. At the end of the day, the hope is that the patient’s addictive behaviors will diminish, returning the individual to normal.
