Understanding Drug Addiction

Drug addiction affects millions across the United States, impacting not only users but also their loved ones. Often stemming from stress, trauma, or mental health challenges, addiction leads to serious physical and emotional harm.

• Methods of Use: Drugs may be smoked, ingested, or injected. Injection offers an immediate effect, while ingestion takes longer as the drug is digested.
• Statistics: Over 7 million people misuse illicit drugs annually, contributing to 700,000 drug-related deaths each year—outpacing deaths from heart disease or cancer.

Types of Addictions We Treat

Our Atlanta drug rehab offers specialized programs for various substance use disorders, including:

• Opioids
• Fentanyl
• Cocaine
• Methamphetamine
• Benzodiazepines
• Heroin
• Marijuana
• Kratom
• Stimulants and more

What Happens in Drug Rehab?

At Buckhead Behavioral Health, we tailor your care plan to meet your needs through the following levels of treatment:

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our most intensive outpatient program, PHP, includes daily treatment sessions for 3-5 days per week. Ideal for individuals stepping down from inpatient care, PHP combines structured therapy with the flexibility of living at home or in a sober facility.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP offers evening treatment sessions for individuals balancing work, school, or family obligations. Sessions last 3-4 hours, three days a week, with telehealth options for added flexibility.

Outpatient Drug Rehab

For mild cases, outpatient rehab involves minimal weekly therapy, such as individual counseling or group therapy.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

MAT combines FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapy to ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce relapse risk. It can be integrated into any level of care, ensuring a smoother recovery journey.

Health Effects of Drug Addiction

Drug addiction can cause short-term and long-term health issues, including:

• Weakened immune system
• Heart disease
• Liver damage or failure
• Brain damage, seizures, and strokes
• Anxiety, depression, and memory loss

Long-term use disrupts mood, instincts, and cognitive functions, amplifying the cycle of addiction.

Behavioral Effects of Addiction

Chronic drug abuse often results in:

• Impaired judgment and decision-making
• Aggression and frustration
• Addictive behavior patterns
• Social harm, such as drunk driving or domestic violence

While addiction stems from substance properties, mental health challenges often exacerbate the condition.

Effective drug addiction treatment involves quitting substances, developing emotional regulation, and adopting healthier thought patterns. At Buckhead Behavioral Health, our evidence-based programs help you or your loved one build a sustainable recovery.
