What are the components that should be present in an addiction treatment program?

Best answer:

Answer by andie l
First of all, addiction treatment programs are not just about medication. It’s not all about anti-depressants and mood stabilizers. There must be continued care and supervision. There must also be counseling and therapy. There must be a periodical assessment to keep track of the progress of the patient. The intensity and length of the treatment of the patient depends upon the severity of his drug addiction.

Question by : Is a gallbladder problem a symptom of drug addiction?
Hi. I’ve been smoking weed for a few months straight now because it was a way of escaping from my depression. I’ve been gaining more and more anxiety lately and I get really nervous and start to twitch when I am in certain places in public or around certain age groups. Also, I’ve been getting alot of urges to pee. I wake up in the middle of the night because I had to pee so bad. Is that supposed to be a symptom of drug addiction/abuse?

Looking for a Drug-Free Psych Doctor for My Son.?

Question by Dawn: Looking for a drug-free Psych doctor for my son.?
My son who is 22 has taken long-term medications for his OCD, one anti-psychotic for nearly seven years! In the last few months, his Psych. doc has had to change his SSRI medication over and over, due to side effects as well, but these seem to be causing more side effects and problems. He is either manic or can barely keep his eyes open. I am seeking a Psychiatrist who can wean my son off of all of his meds under supervision (my son’s desire as well) and treat his issues drug-free if possible. Prefer a doctor in Washington state (where we live), Oregon or Northern California. The Psych docs here (we are in a small town) in the last few days, have only wanted to sub new meds for the old, many of these drugs have long-term serious health risks. Please help us if you have any leads for us. Thank you all so very much.
