Learn how medication-assisted treatment helps clients with extreme issues, such as opioid or heroin addiction, get relief from withdrawal symptoms while detoxing. In most Medication-Assisted Treatment centers, one medication is substituted for another drug or is the only form of therapy. However, at Harmony Place, this is only one piece of the treatment program, used in conjunction with other forms of clinical, evidence-based, and holistic therapy.

Suppose a client is prescribed a specific medication for their addiction treatment. In that case, our physicians choose to do so thoughtfully and as needed, taper the patient off the medication when it is safe. Prescribing medication is done to treat more severe withdrawal symptoms, not to replace the client’s original drug or alcohol addiction.

Important information about withdrawal symptoms and detox: drug and alcohol detox (otherwise known as medical detox) must be completed before moving on to drug or alcohol rehab programs. Detox is only one part of the recovery process, and withdrawal symptoms can be unpredictable. Still, at Harmony Place, you can feel confident that the medical professionals will keep you safe during the harshest of symptoms.

Our Addiction Treatment Modalities in Southern California

Because Harmony Place provides a safe and structured environment. Our treatment programs are based on personal responsibility, individual dignity, and self-esteem to explore the obstacles to recovery and the underlying issues that contribute to or exacerbate addiction.

At our rehab center, clients receive individual therapy sessions to explore sensitive topics, set goals, and manage treatment from the client’s admission to the treatment center to completion of the program.

Substance Abuse Group Psychotherapy

Group therapy often helps an individual in a different way from individual therapy. By recognizing shared experiences, clients in the treatment center may feel more positive and validated by sharing their own experiences, mitigating any anxiety symptoms they might have had about entering a treatment program. Group therapy also allows individuals to develop social skills and adaptive behaviors by observing and modeling others in the treatment center and support group.

Family Therapy Programs

Family therapy also has an important impact on the success of many treatment programs. By providing psychoeducation for family members, Harmony Place supplies them with insight into addiction and the behaviors family members may have exhibited by their loved ones. Harmony Place delivers education for the family, and our rehab facility also provides family therapy to rebuild trust within the family unit.
