Partial Hospitalization, otherwise known as PHP, is a form of treatment that allows individuals struggling with mental health and substance abuse to continue living at home while traveling to treatment (usually 3 to 5 times a week). This outpatient program offers all of the benefits of residential treatment but allows individuals to still reside in the comfort of their homes.

The cost of alcohol and/or drug rehab depends on the services and treatments a person receives, as well as many other factors. At Miracles in Action, we help our patients (and their families) review their options when it comes to insurance coverage and payment plans. Our goal is to provide people from all walks of life with the dedicated care and support they need.

Dual-diagnosis treatment involves treating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental/behavioral health disorders at the same time. Many people who struggle with alcohol or drug abuse also struggle with mental and/or behavioral health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Dual-diagnosis treatment recognizes the many ways in which mental health affects addiction and vice versa. By treating both concerns at the same time, dual-diagnosis treatment helps individuals develop the skills they need to improve their mental health and break the cycle of addiction.

While alcohol and drug addiction can be successfully treated, this disease can never be fully “cured.” People with substance use disorders who stop using substances are in recovery and recognize that they will always be susceptible to substance abuse and addiction.

Professional treatment for alcohol and drug addiction has been proven to be effective. While it is impossible to predict how effective treatment might be for a specific individual, several factors increase the likelihood of someone successfully overcoming addiction and avoiding relapse.

These factors include (but are not limited to):

• The individual’s level of active participation in treatment
• The level of outside support an individual has in their recovery
• Whether the individual receives appropriate treatment
• The quality of interactions between the individual receiving treatment and treatment providers

Additionally, “success” is not merely measured by a person’s abstinence from alcohol and/or drugs. Rather, success can be measured in numerous ways, including an individual’s overall health and mental wellbeing, their re-entry into society, and how well they function in day-to-day life.

Addiction is considered a disease of the brain. Like many diseases, addiction is typically progressive, meaning it gets worse over time. If left untreated, addiction can also be fatal. Anyone struggling with alcohol or drug addiction should seek the proper professional treatment. Like many other diseases, addiction is most effectively treated by professional specialists who can use clinically proven methods to help those struggling with substance use disorders.

If you are concerned that someone you love may be abusing alcohol or drugs, there are several signs you can look out for. Due to the wide variety of different substances and their effects, the physical signs that someone is addicted to alcohol or a certain type of drug range significantly.

However, you may be able to tell someone is misusing or abusing alcohol or drugs if they exhibit any of the common signs:

• Unusual changes in mood or behavior
• Increased irritability, anxiety, hyperactivity, depression, or agitation
• Secretiveness and lying, especially lying about alcohol or drug use
• Stealing money and other valuables
• Withdrawal from friends and family
• Loss of interest in hobbies and other once-enjoyable activities
• Unexplained weight gain or loss
• Changes in sleeping patterns, including insomnia and excessive sleeping
• Engaging in risky behavior or activities
• Alcohol or drug paraphernalia, such as empty alcohol bottles, needles, baggies, etc.

If you suspect someone may be struggling with a substance use disorder, the best way to approach them about it is calmly and as non-confrontationally as possible. Remember, your loved one may deny that they have a problem, or they may claim that their alcohol or drug use is under control. If you are upset (or begin to get upset), we recommend taking a step back and waiting until you can calm down. Always avoid name-calling, blaming, or shaming. If possible, seek the help of a qualified addiction treatment specialist for help in how to approach a loved one about their substance use.

Because increased tolerance to alcohol and drugs can develop gradually, it can be hard to tell when you have become addicted to a substance. Often, people believe they can control their alcohol or drug use even after they have become dependent on a substance. In fact, it may be clear to others that someone is abusing or addicted to alcohol or drugs before the person realizes it him/herself.

While there is no single factor that definitively proves someone is addicted to alcohol or drugs, there are certain signs that indicate alcohol and/or drug dependency. These include:

• Feeling a compulsive need to drink alcohol or use drugs
• Continuing to consume alcohol or take drugs despite negative consequences in your life
• Trying and failing to stop drinking or taking drugs
• Frequently drinking more or taking more drugs than you planned on
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms, including intense cravings, when not drinking or using drugs

Yes. It is possible to recover from alcohol addiction, and many people do. Recovery is a journey that will require constant effort, but with the right treatment, it is very possible to learn how to manage your issues with alcohol.

Since everyone’s addiction story is different, the most effective treatment plan will be different for everyone too. Potential elements of your treatment plan may include individual and group therapy, sober living programs, medical support, detox, and more. We will create a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.

Because drinking — even in excessive quantities — is so normalized, it can be difficult for alcoholics to realize that they have a problem. Every person has their own limits, and the time when professional treatment is necessary will be different for everyone. However, it is generally time to seek help if drinking is significantly interfering with your life and/or contributing to severe health issues.
