What is addiction treatment?

Addiction treatment is the care you receive as you manage substance use disorder or addiction. Addiction isn’t a choice you’ve made: It’s a powerful condition that changes the function and structure of your brain that can make it extremely difficult to stop using a certain substance or engaging in a specific behavior. 

The team at Arbor Mental Health & Family Medical Center LLC starts your treatment with a detailed evaluation of your mental and physical health. They create a personalized care program based on the type of addiction you experience. Treatment helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings within a supportive and constructive environment. 

While many addiction treatments require you to visit the office, Arbor Mental Health & Family Medical Center LLC also offers telepsychiatry services, or virtual visits, that make it easy for you to keep up on getting the mental health care you need. 

What does addiction treatment entail?

Addiction treatment at Arbor Mental Health & Family Medical Center LLC includes a number of supportive services. Some services are specific to particular addictions, while others benefit anyone experiencing addiction or substance use disorder.

Can I benefit from addiction treatment?

There are many types of addictions, as many substances can cause a chemical dependency inside your brain. There are also some addictions that don’t involve chemicals or drugs from an outside source and instead stem from particular behaviors that you compulsively engage in.

• Opioids
