Treatment
Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment
Drug addiction is a complex illness characterized by intense and at times, uncontrollable drug cravings, along with compulsive drug-seeking behaviors. This behavior results from prolonged exposure on brain functioning. Addiction is a brain disease that affects multiple brain circuits, including those involved in reward and motivation, learning and memory and inhibitory control over behavior. Treatment is not simple. At Journey into Wellness, LLC, we incorporate several components that are tailored to the needs of the individual.
Research has shown that individuals who start using drugs and/or drinking before the age of 18 are 7 times more likely to develop issues with substance abuse as adults.
