Outpatient Program

As an outpatient addiction treatment program, we are dedicated to helping those seeking recovery from alcohol and other drug dependence. We provide programs to help people build a foundation in sobriety while continuing to work and function in their regular life roles.

Our program is a mixture of education, individual counseling, group therapy, and family counseling. We provide a foundation of knowledge and support for our patients and family members. We believe that it is essential to treat the whole family system, helping everyone to gain understanding of the impact addiction has on the family.

We believe that an advantage of outpatient treatment is that our patients learn basic recovery concepts and apply them in a real-life setting…as opposed to the artificial environment of a residential treatment setting.

Types of Addiction

1. Alcohol Addiction: This habitual addiction includes all types of alcohol products like country liquor, beer, wine, rum, whisky, laththa etc. Alcoholic drinks have deleterious effects on the nerves and the heart. Their destructive effects on the digestive system are well known. Alcohol blunts hunger, causes irritation and swelling of the lining of the stomach, and impairs.

2. Nicotine Addiction: Products like bidi, cigarettes, mava, gutka, tobacco chewing, snuff etc. Nicotine, is explicitly described in medical dictionaries as a powerful and active poison. Smoking introduces this poison, as well as the highly poisonous gas, carbon monoxide, into the lungs.
Nicotine causes increased secretion of adrenalin and noradrenalin into the blood stream, which results in a higher proportion of fats in the blood. It is for this reason that smoking accelerates the process of the hardening of the blood vessels. The arteries providing nutrients to the heart muscles also become congested, hardened and brittle, with consequences ranging from palpitation and hypertension to angina pectoris and heart attacks.

3. Drug addiction: Drug addiction consists of Fortwin, Proxyuon, Diazepam, L.S.D., Opium, Smack, Marijuana, Heroine, Cocaine, Charas, Ganja, Bhang, Brown Sugar etc. It is estimated that almost five percent of the population is addicted to one drug or the other.

A craving to obtain peace, to get rid of depression, to escape worldly sorrows and failures, to get an euphoric feeling or to get rid of social inhibitions leads people to the use of drugs. Chronic use of these drugs leads to severe damage to the liver, the heart, the kidneys, the brain and the nerves.

Summary

Alcohol & drugs are ingested by many around us to have fun, as a remedy for emotional & stressful problems, to be part of a group, to feel good, to feel happy & for much more reasons without knowing that every 20 out of these 100 become dependent on it.

There are many people who consider use of alcohol for recreational or on social occasions as normal and acceptable, but little is their awareness that even this carries risk of road traffic injuries, socially inappropriate or embrasing behaviour.

Alcohol and other substance abuse not only damage the body of the person abusing but has harmful impact much more than himself. His / Her own life can have adverse effects like disrupted marriage and family life, loss of job, unemployment and stigmatization.
