Our treatment philosophy is to focus on stabilizing our patients medically on the optimum methadone dose and psychosocially through counseling, in order to help stop the craving – so, we can stop the cycle of addiction.Addiction becomes an addiction when someone who has developed a physiologic dependence on an opioid drug, intentionally for its euphoric effects or inadvertently through medically prescribed “painkillers”, begins abusing the drug by taking more and more in order to achieve the same effect (i.e. euphoria or “high”). This is because the body develops a tolerance to the opioid. At some point, bad decisions are made that the individual knows are wrong and harmful, but are made anyway. This starts with spending all their money and selling all their possessions and ends with losing all friends and family. Along the way, jobs and homes are lost and trouble with the law occurs.Ironically, it is not so much the “high” from drugs that the addict seeks, it is the prevention of the symptoms of withdrawal and the drug cravings that drives him or her to do what they do. By joining our program and stabilizing on methadone maintenance, the addict can shed the addiction and return to a “normal” life. By feeling normal and functional, time and attention can then be devoted to “rebuilding” a productive and happy life. A physiologic dependence, which the brain will always require, remains by taking methadone, but the alternative which the addict remembers all too well is long gone.New Day Treatment Center programs also include; education on the disease of addiction, developing personalized recovery plans.
