In dealing with a
substance abuse problem with either alcohol or drugs, it is important to seek professional help in the matter. Most medical professionals would recommend for serious cases of addiction and abuse a residential substance abuse rehab center. Cirque Lodge is a nationally recognized drug addiction center located in the privacy of the mountains of Sundance Utah. We balance the best of cognitive and experiential therapy with the 12- program for effetive addiction treatment.
In treating addiction you are dealing with very delicate matters. Addiction and substance abuse affects the frontal lobe workings of the brain making the use of alcohol and drugs impulsive instead of a choice. A
substance abuse treatment facility like the drug rehab provided at Cirque Lodge are specially trained to treat this brain problem and bring an end to addictive practices. To ensure treatment is successful we also utilize a thorough relapse prevention plan to provide continued care after an alcohol and drug rehab program.
Understanding Substance Abuse
The abuse of such substances as alcohol and drugs is not the intention of those who initially use them. The first intention is just to get "high". All addictive substances force a dopamine release on the brain. The dopamine system in the brain functions as a neurotransmitter that rewards the brain with a slight euphoric feeling. Alcohol and drugs force a release of large amounts of dopamine into the brain increasing the euphoric feeling. This feeling is what inspires the use of the drug.
Addiction and the behavior of addiction are based upon a number of things. For some individuals it is unfortunately just a part of their DNA. Addiction can also be developed from aspects of upbringing, abuse, traumatic experiences and even peer pressure. When addiction is developed substance abuse slowly becomes less and less about getting high.
Extended substance abuse actually damages the dopamine system of the brain. A tolerance is developed in the brain and more of the substance of choice is needed. Individuals will choose to mix drugs and alcohol, a dangerous practice, just to achieve the now elusive high. At this point the substance abuse and the addiction take control of life. Family is affected, employment is a struggle, and the addicted individual is in need of help.
Most individuals battling substance abuse will not seek help on their own. It is usually up to friends and loved ones to get them the help they need. A
substance abuse facility like the one at Cirque Lodge, is professional treatment for alcohol and drug abuse in a private and comfortable drug addiction center.
