About Methadone Treatment

Unity Recovery Center is a medically supervised drug and alcohol treatment center that recognizes the need for an alternative approach to drug rehabilitation. Unity Rehab employs a holistic method of rehabilitation that has seen some of the highest drug and alcohol addiction recovery rates in the country. By combining it's successful holistic and psychotherapy treatment programs with a proven 12-step approach, Unity Rehab offers every patient who enters its rehab facility the best possible chance for recovery.

Unity Rehab understands that the key component to successful methadone treatment is tailoring the treatment program to fit the individual needs of our patients, both physically and mentally. At Unity Rehab, the individual as a whole is treated, not just the physical addiction to the drug they are struggling with. It's important to understand that each person who enters the facility requires a different level of treatment to meet his or her specific needs. Upon arrival, a patient is assessed in a private interview with psychologist to create his or her own customized drug rehab treatment plan. This personalized plan is designed to address the specific addiction problem, both physically and mentally, within the individual.

Unity Rehab is not a "cookie cutter" treatment center. A patient's individual treatment program needs to be constantly adjusted so that it can be completely effective in helping the patient progress. Rehabilitation is also a unique balance of many different treatment programs. Where a 12-step method may be enough to treat addiction in some patients, other patients who may have become addicted trying to mask emotional or physical pain may require a more complex program. In cases such as these, it is important to blend holistic and psychological treatments with the traditional 12-step approach.

The major problem associated with methadone treatment is that a patient is often just trading one drug dependency for another. Methadone can also create a psychological dependence among users who may feel like they can't function without it. The first step in treating this addiction is for the patient to detox and remove the drug completely from their system. The next step and the most crucial one, is for the patient to enter into a treatment program at Unity Recovery Center and begin moving through the recovery phase.
