Codeine addiction causes many physiological changes in a person that may make it difficult for them to quit using codeine on their own. Even the most motivated individuals find it hard to overcome codeine addictions, but, codeine addiction treatment programs can help.
Outpatient Codeine Addiction Treatment
Outpatient codeine addiction treatment programs offer the person a safe detox, counseling, and therapy in a less intense and formal way than an inpatient program would. Those who have little history of relapse and prefer the flexibility of being able to attend programs without having to remain in the facility for lengthy time periods may prefer this type of setting.
Inpatient Codeine Addiction Treatment
Inpatient codeine addiction treatment often requires the person to stay durations of 30 days or longer. The programs may be more intense to provide help to individuals who may have co-occurring health or substance abuse problems or a repeat history of relapse with prior attempts at treatment. The person is required to remain in the facility 24 hours a day for these programs.
What to Look for in a Codeine Addiction Treatment Program
It’s important to find a rehab program that offers well-researched treatment methods.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “Treatment approaches that are tailored to each patient’s drug abuse patterns and any co-occurring medical, psychiatric, and social problems can lead to sustained recovery and a life without drug abuse.”
You may find a lot of different options and variety of programs available but the important thing is recovery and to focus on what is best for you. The following factors are important to consider:
Accreditations
Appropriate accreditations are important because you want to make sure that the facility is qualified to provide codeine addiction treatment services. You can get this information from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Facility Locator or by asking the facility to provide their licensing information.
Duration Requirements
Some codeine addiction treatment programs may have specific duration requirements, especially those involving inpatient treatment services.
Staffing Availability
Programs should have appropriate staff available to meet the needs of the person and this would normally include a psychiatrist or psychologist with qualified counselors and therapists along with clinicians and other professional staff that will ensure safety and effectiveness of treatment.
Medical and Resource Access
When physical or mental health is a concern, it is important that there is adequate access to medical personnel. Resource access can also make a big difference in quality of treatment.
Cost
Cost considerations seem to be a big issue, but, often treatments are covered by insurance or they may have a variety of payment plans available. The treatment facility does not have to luxurious or costly to be affective.
Travel
Travel for outpatient services, family participation, and after care services should be considered.
After Care and Prevention Services
An effective treatment program includes the recommendation of these services. Attending 12-Step meetings is most advisable.
