Getting Help for Substance Abuse in Wasilla, AK

If you have a drug or alcohol problem, you will most likely have to take part in an intervention before you seek the help that you need. Once you are ready to be treated, you will first have to go through detox. Because of the strong withdrawal symptoms associated with this, you should always be medically supervised during this time.

After detox, when your body is clean and your physical addiction has been broken, you will then enter rehab treatment. This can be done either on an outpatient or an inpatient basis. In rehab, you will take part in therapy and counseling, learning to understand your own behaviors, illness, and consequences of your actions. Following rehab, aftercare will be offered, which ensures that you continue to receive the support you need when you return to the community. That said, relapse is incredibly common and even expected. Aftercare may not be sufficient for you to totally avoid relapse, but it may help minimize its impact and it can help you get back on track.
