Cocaine addiction is accompanied by smoking crack and may be abused by polydrug (multiple substances) users. It is a complex problem that involves chemical changes in the brain as well as external factors such as social, occupational, interpersonal and environmental related problems. A comprehensive treatment program is required to assess and effectively treat the bio-psycho-social aspects of drug abuse. There may be co-occurring psychiatric disorders requiring pharmacological and psychological interventions.

We believe there are three major requirements to treat drug addiction: abstinence, relapse prevention and rehabilitation. Firstly when an addict abstains from drugs, they may face withdrawal symptoms. They require care, medical support and understanding to help manage these effects. In medical terms it is called detox.
Detox helps in flushing out the drug from the body; it is required before starting any treatment. Crystal meth addiction treatment is supervised and monitored by House of freedom competent medical personnel.
The first step is to rid the addict’s body of methamphetamine which is the main chemical in crystal meth. Next the treatment addresses the psychological and physical effects of meth addiction.

Early detection of heroin ensures effective treatment. There are many pharmacological options but synthetic opiates such as methadone, Burprenorphine, methadone and Subutex are particularly useful in blocking the effects of heroin and can control withdrawal symptoms. Accompanying psychotherapy can also be used to treat this type of addiction effectively. Integrating both treatment methods can result in the desired outcome.
Cognitive behavioral interventions help the patients develop healthy knowledge and behavior towards drug use and strengthen their skills to cope with various stress factors which could potentially trigger relapse.
Detox in itself is useful in relieving withdrawal symptoms, so that the addict gets used to a drug-free state. Detox also reduces medical complications. It is an essential step leading to long-term treatment through Residential or Outpatient Program at House of freedom.
