At Gateway Foundation in Aurora, IL, our patients benefit from evidence-based, individualized addiction treatment programs. We take time to understand the unique influences that impact each person’s addiction, allowing us to develop a highly personalized approach to patient care that’s focused on the unique needs of the individual.
Addiction is not a moral failing or a lack of self-control. It’s a disease that undermines the way your brain registers pleasure, influencing your behaviors, thoughts and motivations. Each person’s path to addiction is different and involves a variety of underlying influences and triggers. However, the result is the same, whether it’s alcohol, a prescribed drug or an illicit substance — the brain is changed both structurally and functionally.
Just as treatment is essential for heart disease or diabetes, treatment is a vital aspect to successfully recover from addiction.
Overcoming addiction requires a holistic and integrated approach. There are a variety of evidence-based, clinical, person-centered practices that ensure those with substance addiction get the help they need. These techniques can include a combination of withdrawal management, medication, psychotherapy, 12-step facilitation and other services.
No matter what services and programs are utilized, the goal is the same — engage patients through compassionate care and integrated science to address each person’s physical, social and emotional needs.
Addiction doesn’t just impact the individual. Family and friends are also severely affected. If your loved one is striving to overcome an addiction to drugs or alcohol, your support and encouragement are vital, but you may not know what you can do. Here are a few suggestions to support a loved one:
