Substance use disorder

Opioid addiction is one of the most challenging addictions to overcome due to its powerful physical dependence and severe withdrawal symptoms. Whether the addiction stems from prescription painkillers or heroin, professional treatment is critical for a successful recovery.

• Medication Management: Clients with opioid addiction may also suffer from co-occurring mental health conditions. NuLife’s psychiatric team ensures that any medications prescribed for anxiety, depression, or other conditions are managed carefully to support overall recovery without contributing to substance dependence.
• Therapeutic Support: Alongside Med Management, therapies like CBT and DBT help clients address the mental and emotional aspects of opioid addiction. These therapies assist clients in recognizing the thought patterns and behaviors that lead to opioid use and replacing them with healthier alternatives.
• Medically Supervised Detox: For clients who need to detox from opioids, we offer a medically supervised detoxification program to ensure safety and comfort during this critical stage of recovery.

Cocaine addiction often develops rapidly due to the intense euphoria that cocaine produces. However, this addiction comes with severe consequences, including anxiety, paranoia, and physical health issues.

• Behavioral Therapy: CBT is a central part of treating cocaine addiction, helping clients recognize the behaviors and triggers that lead to substance use. Contingency Management is also employed to reward clients for maintaining sobriety and avoiding cocaine use.
• Addressing Mental Health: Since many individuals with cocaine addiction suffer from underlying mental health conditions, we integrate dual diagnosis treatment to address these co-occurring disorders. Medication Management plays a role here to ensure that psychiatric conditions are treated without exacerbating the addiction.
• Holistic Therapies: NuLife also incorporates mindfulness, yoga, and exercise programs into the recovery process to promote overall well-being.

Alcohol addiction can severely impact an individual’s health, relationships, and mental well-being. NuLife Behavioral Health offers a range of evidence-based treatments to help clients overcome their dependence on alcohol.

• Medication Management: For individuals with co-occurring disorders, psychiatric medications may be prescribed and managed to help stabilize mood, reduce anxiety, and support overall well-being during alcohol addiction treatment.
• Therapy Integration: We use CBT to help clients change the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to alcohol use. Family therapy is also encouraged, as alcoholism often affects family dynamics and relationships.
• Aftercare and Relapse Prevention: NuLife provides extensive aftercare and relapse prevention programs to ensure clients continue receiving support long after they complete their initial treatment.

Though marijuana is often viewed as less dangerous than other substances, marijuana addiction can have a profound impact on an individual’s life, leading to dependence, mental health issues, and impaired social functioning.

• Behavioral Therapy: CBT and DBT are essential for addressing the psychological reasons behind marijuana use and developing healthier coping mechanisms.
• Holistic Care: Our programs incorporate holistic treatments like yoga, exercise, and mindfulness to help clients rebuild a sense of well-being without relying on substances.

At NuLife Behavioral Health, we understand that not all clients can attend in-person treatment. That’s why we offer both in-person and telehealth services to ensure that all individuals have access to high-quality care, no matter where they are.

• Virtual Therapy Sessions: Clients can attend individual and group therapy sessions through secure video platforms, ensuring they receive the necessary support from the comfort of their home.
• Remote Medication Management: Psychiatrists can manage and adjust clients’ medications through telehealth, ensuring progress is closely monitored.

The length of treatment at NuLife Behavioral Health varies depending on several factors, including the severity of addiction, the presence of co-occurring disorders, and the client’s progress in recovery. We offer a range of treatment programs, from short-term detox to long-term residential treatment and intensive outpatient programs (IOP).

Addiction affects not only the individual but also their loved ones. At NuLife, we encourage family involvement as part of the healing process, helping families rebuild trust and support the recovery journey.
