Through the years there have been numerous breakthroughs and developments when it comes to understanding and treating addiction. Multiple approaches exist that touch upon different strategies for supporting clients in overcoming their addiction and creating more healthy routines and coping mechanisms. A key factor in recovery is engaging in a comprehensive program that incorporates different modalities and activities tailored to the client’s individual needs. Chapters Capistrano has released a statement to the press regarding benefits of a multi-faceted treatment plan and its role in recovery.
“There is not a blanket solution for treating addiction and substance use disorders (SUD),” says Susie Shea, co-owner of the Orange County drug and alcohol rehab center. “Addiction has physical, mental, emotional, and social effects that all need to be addressed in order to support recovery. Relying on a single approach increases the risk of overlooking other issues and not fully treating the problem. When developing a treatment plan, there are many factors to consider and the plan should be adjusted according to what the client is most responsive to.”
A recent Huffington Post article explores the importance of neuroscience in treatment and understanding how SUDs impact the brain. There are several regions of the brain that are adversely affected and they are mainly related to the reward circuit, which contributes to behavior. Drugs rewire this circuit and overpower natural pleasures with those associated with the substance. Clients continue using these drugs to keep achieving this pleasure even if it is harmful to their body. But with a clearer picture of how the brain responds, scientists can use this information to develop more targeted treatment plans.
According to the article, “12-step programs (AA, NA) have been the mainstay of intervention for SUD but today represent only one of a number of tools that can help. Comprehensive care calls for more than reliance on a 12-step program. That’s where neuroscience comes in.” Physicians can evaluate how changes in the brain impact behavior and incorporate more diverse tactics for treatment.
“While many people do find success with 12-step programs, there are also several alternative programs that produce positive results as well,” explains Shea. “It is important for clients to be exposed to different options so they are equipped with numerous resources and strategies. Not everyone responds in the same way to each program.” In addition, treatment should also encompass cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), family therapy, nutritional counseling, holistic healing, and other services to care for the body and mind as a whole, says Shea.
The article notes that having a comprehensive plan that incorporates these diverse options touches upon the various regions of the brain that are affected and supports recovery. “It is important to look at how every part of the client’s life is affected and really get to the root of these issues to bring about positive changes,” says Shea. “In doing so, we can be more proactive with relapse prevention.” Chapters Capistrano recognizes the importance of customized, comprehensive care and offers a wide range of treatment modalities and services for clients.
