Alcohol Addiction Treatment in Lakeview, Oshawa
New Dawn Medical Lakeview offers specialized programs for individuals seeking support in overcoming alcohol dependency. Every alcohol addiction treatment plan is structured to prioritize your safety, dignity, and well-being, because healing happens best when you’re treated as a whole person, not just a condition.
Medically Supervised Alcohol Detox
Detoxing from alcohol can be challenging, depending on how much and how long you have been drinking. Some people may experience milder symptoms, while others may experience severe symptoms, potentially even life-threatening.
The benefit of medically supervised alcohol detox is that it allows a team of experienced, qualified physicians and health professionals to monitor your progress around the clock. We provide ongoing assessments for alcohol addiction treatment to determine your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
By using acamprosate and naltrexone, we can minimize cravings and increase stability. Our addiction treatment centre’s program helps those with alcohol dependency better tolerate symptoms, thereby lowering their risk for relapse.
Evidence-Based Medication Support
As mentioned, we continually monitor patients to ensure their physical well-being and comfort for alcohol addiction treatment. When symptoms remain manageable, patients are more likely to remain in the program, increasing their chances for success.
Disulfram provides negative reinforcement when someone drinks. It is used for those who no longer drink alcohol, wherein the first moment they have a drink, they experience severe discomfort. This method is the most effective when combined with behaviour therapy and counselling.
Naltrexone helps patients manage their alcohol dependence. It works on the individual’s reward pathways in their brain by decreasing the feel-good sensation received from alcohol consumption.
Acamprosate is a GABA-like drug acting on the glutamatergic (NMDA) receptor, which is affected through chronic alcohol abuse. When given to patients, it decreases cravings and increases abstinence rates from alcohol consumption.
Personalized and Adaptive Treatment Plans
Treatments are individually-based. They are tailored according to our initial assessment and the patient’s ongoing process, which means they are based on the severity of addiction, recovery objectives, and medical history. Our initial assessments enable flexible and evolving programs that benefit patients throughout the recovery process.
Our addiction treatment centre also prioritizes medical supervision during alcohol addiction treatment to ensure you remain safe, especially while withdrawing from alcohol use.
Substance Abuse Treatment in Lakeview, Oshawa
Many addiction treatment centres either incorporate withdrawal management or offer mental health programs like counselling, group therapy, behaviour therapy, etc. However, not everyone addresses the root cause of substance abuse. At New Dawn Medical, our holistic, evidence-based approach enables complete healing for your mind, body, and soul.
Comprehensive Substance Use Assessment
Our clinicians begin by conducting a thorough examination, including identifying the substance used, the duration of use, and its severity. Plans may include medically-supervised detoxification, counselling, therapy, and support groups depending on your needs. We provide structured counselling, support, education, and encouragement throughout your journey. Our clinic helps you manage your addiction with long-term success while living a healthier lifestyle.
Opioid and Prescription Drug Recovery
Our drug recovery programs may begin with medically supervised detox. It assists people in managing withdrawal and can be short. However, some substances may require up to 30–40 days of managed withdrawal. At this stage, patients are given medication and are continually monitored for any adverse reactions.
Methadone changes how your nervous system and brain function by how it responds to pain. It decreases the harmful symptoms of opiate withdrawal while blocking the euphoric effects that opiate drugs (morphine, heroin, codeine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone) can have on your system.
Suboxone contains a mixture of naloxone (an opioid antagonist) and buprenophine (a partial opioid antagonist). It helps people with substance abuse disorder manage cravings while reducing withdrawal symptoms.
Relapse Prevention and Long-Term Support
Medications like naltrexone decrease post-detox relapses by behaving like an opioid receptor antagonist. It blocks the rewarding effects of opioids in the brain and their associated euphoric feelings. It helps reduce cravings, minimizes the positive reinforcement that drives continued use, and maintains abstinence after patients go through detoxification.
Throughout our substance abuse programs, we carefully monitor your health and adjust dosages accordingly through physician check-ins. However, our support doesn’t stop here. Most of our patients progress to subsequent areas of treatment, such as counselling and therapy, for holistic healing.
Chronic Pain and Wellness Care in Lakeview, Oshawa
Our chronic pain treatment programs are designed to do more than just manage symptoms. We aim to restore balance, improve mobility, and enhance overall wellness. Whether you’re living with persistent pain or navigating the challenges of pain-related addiction, our team provides integrated care tailored to your needs.
Pain Assessment and History Review
Every person at our clinic has a customized wellness plan to address their specific pain-related challenges. Your plan may involve a combination of therapies, including medically supervised detoxification, counselling, and other treatments.
We begin customizing your treatment by conducting a pain assessment to determine the severity of your condition. Diagnostic tests and physical exams help us determine which medications and therapies to use.
Medication Optimization and Risk Reduction
The danger with many prescription medications in pain management is that they can be addictive. Furthermore, the danger lies not only in the addiction, but in the body needing more medication to maintain the same comfort level.
We work with you to minimize dependence and help you manage pain more effectively. Plans may include gradually tapering medication or using alternatives if applicable. All our treatments are continually monitored for efficacy and safety.
Outpatient Care and Counselling Services
Our flexible outpatient programs are designed to support patients as they manage recovery while navigating everyday responsibilities. These services offer structure without disrupting daily life, helping individuals maintain balance, build resilience, and stay on track toward long-term success.
Dual Diagnosis and Integrated Mental Health Treatment
A dual diagnosis is when a substance abuse disorder and a mental health disorder coexist. Our clinic supports patients with both conditions. We address issues like depression, anxiety, or trauma in addition to the addiction to deal with the root cause of the problem. Our physicians and mental health experts collaborate to develop effective treatment programs.
Aftercare and Ongoing Support
After initial treatment ends, we continue to support your success with planning and follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address questions you may have. We also work with you to establish a plan of action to reduce relapse rates and help you manage temptations. This is part of our long-term care strategy to help you maintain momentum and reduce the risk of relapse.
