Even the citizens of this serene and pleasant city, though, are dealing with the epidemic that is wreaking havoc all over the nation: drug and alcohol addiction.

It isn’t just illegal drugs that present a problem. In the state of Oregon, marijuana is now legal, which means residents have easier access to the substance. Other legal drugs like prescription medicines and alcohol can destroy lives, families and communities when they are misused. When prescription medications like stimulants (Adderall and Vyvanse); opiates (oxycodone and hydrocodone) and benzodiazepines (Klonopin and Valium) can be quite addictive even for those who take them as they are prescribed.

Life can seem rather bleak for those who are in the throes of addiction. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. Millions of people all over the country have been able to find the healing they need in treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction. Luckily, in Beaverton, there are many options for the treatment of substance use disorder.

Beaverton Detox Centers

After you make the decision to get sober, the first thing you need to do is detoxify your body. This is the process you go through when you eliminate the harmful substances you have become dependent on. There are very few physical withdrawal symptoms with some substances like marijuana or cocaine. However, with other substances like benzodiazepines or opiates, withdrawal can be dangerous and extremely painful if attempted alone.

This is why detox centers can be helpful. In a Beaverton detox center, you will have medical supervision throughout the detox process. While these are beneficial, it is often wiser to visit a national treatment center like The Recovery Ridgefield where you will be able to enroll in an inpatient treatment program after you go through a medically assisted detox.

Beaverton Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Programs

There are numerous choices that you will find when you are looking for drug and alcohol addiction treatment centers in Beaverton, Oregon. Inpatient treatment may be the best thing for you. However, outpatient treatment may be all that’s needed.

Patients live in the facility around the clock in a residential (inpatient) treatment program. While some facilities offer longer or shorter programs, residential programs tend to last for 30 days, 60 days or 90 days.

Residential treatment program patients are expected to participate in group therapy, one-on-one counseling, drug and alcohol addiction education and other healing activities like yoga and meditation. This program is also good for patients who need a stable living environment.

Residential or Inpatient Treatment Programs

In a residential treatment program – also known as inpatient treatment – the patients live in the facility 24 hours a day. Usually, the program is around 30 days. There are some facilities that offer shorter or longer programs. In certain cases, patients may stay in a facility for up to six months.

Counseling (both individual and group), substance misuse classes, recreational and healing activities and educational opportunities will all be offered to residential treatment program patients. If a patient is currently lacking a stable or safe living environment, a residential treatment program may be a good option as it will provide them with that.

Outpatient Treatment Programs

One outpatient program is the PHP or partial hospitalization program. While patients will participate in many of the same activities as inpatient patients, they will not stay at the facility overnight.

The most flexible treatment program is the outpatient treatment program. This is a good option for patients who have a lot of work or family commitments because it only allows them to be in the facility for 10 to 20 hours during the week. There are also usually more intensive outpatient programs that are a good transition between the PHP and outpatient treatment.

Focus on Healing

Stopping everything in your day-to-day life to go to a facility and receive treatment may be inconvenient. It is important, however, that you give yourself a break from your daily routine to focus on your own healing. Without seeking the treatment you need, you won’t be able to fulfill your commitments anyway. When you take the time to heal, you are treating your job, your family, you education and your life with more consideration.
