At Drug Treatment Program Burlington we have a full spectrum of substance abuse treatment programs for clients that arrive at our facility suffering with addiction. Most people that get dependent on substances like vicodin, percocet, lortab, heroin, cocaine, meth and other substances that cause abuse and addiction are typically at a loss of how to stop on their own. We have helped countless struggling addicts to overcome their addiction with our comprehensive rehabilitation methods and recovery principles.

Detoxification

The initial step of our program is our detox process. After a person has taken drugs over an extended period of time a physical dependence develops for the drug. When dependence or addiction has developed it may be unsafe to suddenly stop using the drug without professional assistance from a medically monitored detox process. Habit-forming substances such as alcohol, cocaine, heroin, meth, demerol, fentanyl and others cause a wide range of withdrawal symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, insomnia, muscle aches, sweating, vomiting, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, nausea, lethargy and more.

At Drug Treatment Center Burlington we offer the needed medical assistance to make our clients as comfortable as possible in the detox process. We offer 24 hour services and supervision during this crucial first step in the treatment process. Program participants often state that they feel a renewed sense of hope when they have completed our detoxification program.

An essential part of recovering from addiction is to recognize that you have a problem. An individual who is in denial about their addiction cannot take strides to fix the problem they deny they have. For many people, when it comes to taking a honest look into their addiction problem, also requires the individual to look at why and how they got addicted in the first place. Addiction commonly occurs when someone starts taking the drug or alcohol to self-medicate in order to deal with negative feelings and emotions. If an individual doesn't recognize the underlying issues guiding their addiction and does not receive help, it will be almost impossible for them to overcome their addiction.

Accepting that you have a problem is a very critical first step in dealing with drug addiction or alcoholism. In addition you must also have the desire to put forth the effort to change your life. Taking inventory of the reasons for making a change will help you navigate the road to rehabilitation. Many find it helpful to write down the reasons why they want to change. Reasons could include wanting to be a better parent, be a happier person overall, to be the person you really want to be, repair damaged relationships, to be healthy again, or to simply repair the damage caused by your addiction.

Do not just concentrate and be absorbed on the circumstances and problems as a result of your substance abuse, as focusing in on the negative things of the past can make one feel depressed and hopeless. Rather, focus on your new addiction-free life and the recovery process. Focus on the great things that will surely materialize when you have conquered your addiction. At Drug Treatment Center Burlington we will guide you to embrace your new opportunities for a new, brighter future. A future fulfilling long lost dreams and goals in your new addiction-free lifestyle. You will be healthier, have more energy, be more secure financially, have stable relationships, be more productive overall, and have time to have fun and explore new hobbies and recreation. Setting aside time to write down these goals can keep you excited and motivated during the rehab process.

Long Term Rehabilitation Plan

At Drug Rehabilitation Program Burlington we know that the most important factor in determining success is whether the individual has truly overcome their addiction. Success can only be determined by the patient's confidence in their ability to remain sober. Short term rehabilitation protocols typically fall short of this goal.

We feel that it is critical not to be under time restraints when in rehabilitation. The time that you spend in treatment can provide a lifetime of sobriety, it is completely worth the investment of whatever time that it requires. We address the underlying issues that that most likely are at the root of the addiction. We will help you to repair the damages that you have created in your life so that you are not filled with regret. You will be taught life skills, coping skills and relapse prevention techniques so that you are not just sober when when you complete treatment, but know how to stay clean for a lifetime. We know that you want a drug free life and we are here to provide you a way to achieve it.

Relapse Prevention

The only person who can change you is you. At Drug Rehabilitation Center Burlington it is extremely helpful to be surrounded by a strong support network to ensure your success. That said, hold onto the people in your life that are supportive and positive. Conversely, be cautious about maintaining the unhealthy people in your life, like past associates that continue to use drugs, or relationships that make you feel inadequate.
