Drug and Alcohol Treatment in Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi has put various systems in place so that people can get the help they need for detox and rehab. There is an understanding of the tremendous negative impact substance abuse has on people's health and well-being, and also on that of their families and loved ones, and the community as a whole. A lot of the support that is offered to people in the region is on a medical basis, because substance abuse has the potential to damage so many biological processes in the body. At the same time, it has also been realized that addiction is a disease of the brain.

The Process of Treatment in Corpus Christi

Treatment must start with some form of intervention. This can be organized by loved ones, but is also often done by medical professionals. In some cases, an intervention comes through attendance at drug court, and some people come to the understanding that they need help by themselves.

After the intervention, people must first go through a period of detox, whereby the body rids itself of all the remaining chemicals. It is very important that detox is professionally managed. This is, firstly, because the withdrawal symptoms can be very severe and difficult, making it more likely for people to return to their chosen substance (and then overdose). Additionally, in some cases, and particularly with alcohol abuse, the side effects can be life threatening.

After detox, people enter rehab. In Corpus Christi, people can choose from the following: intensive outpatient services; outpatient services; and inpatient or residential services. Outpatient services are often preferred by people, because it means that they can remain in their own environment and maintain their personal, professional, and educational responsibilities. Unfortunately, while there is certainly a place for these types of services, they are not suitable for those who suffer from more than a mild addiction, or who have relapsed. In those cases, residential treatment is the only way to combat addiction. Either way, whether people go to inpatient or outpatient rehab, they must follow this with intensive aftercare programs to ensure they can transition back into the "real world" without returning to the substance they have abused.
