Opioids and opiates are some of the most common substances we see in our addiction treatment programs. Opioid use disorder often starts as a medical intervention to manage pain, but devolves into something more sinister as dependence and misuse take shape.

The socialite’s substance, alcohol, is an addictive substance and can lead to devastating effects on life, potential, and relationships. Alcohol treatment involves medication-assisted treatment options and residential detoxification protocols to reset the body and brain.

Benzodiazepines are typically prescribed for anxiety and panic disorders but carry their own potential for misuse and dependence. With integrated mental health and substance use treatment, we can help you or your loved one navigate both anxiety and drug addiction.

Fentanyl is commonly present in other illicit substances and used as a cutting agent. One can consume the highly potent drug without even knowing it. Our treatment and support services help keep you or your loved one safe, not just sober.

This is a substance that is as readily available as alcohol or nicotine. It’s a naturally derived drug that is still being explored in terms of long-term impact. The main properties of Kratom affect the brain and body in ways similar to other addictive substances, though it’s not yet a controlled substance.[2]

Cocaine is a highly addictive stimulant that carries serious potential for harm to the body and brain. These effects can ripple out into every area of life, negatively impacting work, relationships, and more, and can last for months or even years. Treating cocaine use disorder should be managed by a skilled healthcare provider.

Due to the nature of meth, it’s fairly simple to produce and is all too easy to obtain. The highly potent drug elicits immediate, intense euphoric effects that can lead to dependence and cravings. The effects of methamphetamine use are extreme, and the negative impact can stretch beyond addiction into serious health concerns.

Mental health issues and substance use disorder are linked more often than not. Studies reveal that 43% of those in treatment for alcohol or substance use disorders also carry a diagnosis or show the symptoms of mental health disorders, most commonly depression and anxiety.[3] The number climbs to 60% for adolescents in addiction treatment.

Aura Recovery offers a comprehensive range of mental health, behavioral health, and holistic services, including therapy, yoga, Reiki, and more, to enhance the treatment experience and reach beyond sobriety. Our design is to help facilitate a new way of life for both mental health conditions and alcohol or drug use.

A dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder is a diagnosis applied to those struggling with both a mental health disorder and an alcohol or substance use disorder at the same time. It doesn’t matter which came first, but they each can negatively influence the other, requiring integrated treatment that takes a holistic approach.

Anxiety disorders are among the most common co-occurring disorders and can make success in addiction treatment programs more challenging. By treating both anxious thoughts and patterns alongside addiction struggles, we can facilitate whole-person healing.

When battling depression, one’s outlook on life is often bleak. This experience can present additional challenges to the recovery process. Our approach is to help you manage depression symptoms and learn practical coping skills that help in every area of life, including depression and addiction.

Trauma and alcohol or substance abuse are undeniably linked. An effective treatment experience will leverage the types of therapy that apply to both disorders and offer the best chance of positive treatment outcomes and lasting healing.

Mood swings and manic episodes can add to the stress of recovering from substance use and make it harder to complete treatment. When you treat both disorders as unique conditions and address how they coexist, the treatment experience is greatly improved.

For example, opioid use disorder would apply to prescription pain killers as well as illicit substances like heroin. Other common substances include Alcohol, Benzodiazepines, Fentanyl, Kratom, Cocaine, and Meth.

How do inpatient and outpatient addiction treatments differ?

The various types of treatment services provide different levels of recovery support, tailored to the client’s most pressing needs. Early in recovery, while experiencing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, detox and residential treatment will be the most beneficial. As the client develops autonomy and builds a core foundation of relapse prevention skills, they can transition into lower levels of care (partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, outpatient programs, etc.) with support groups, 12-step programs, and other sober living resources.
