Addiction Treatment Programs in Weber City, TN

People often make assumptions about people who suffer from drug or alcohol addiction, including those with substance use disorders. However, Emmaus believes that to recover from an addiction, one must first understand the condition.

Substance use disorders are a type of relapsing disorder involving compulsive drug-seeking regardless of adverse consequences. Taking illicit drugs and misusing prescription medication can affect every aspect of a person’s life, including family, finances, physical health, mental health, and social relationships.
​
People with addictions don’t always realize that they are harming themselves and affecting their loved ones due to their dependency on their choice of drugs. Reduced reasoning and problem-solving skills make it incredibly difficult for people to stop using drugs and alcohol cold turkey, which is why professional addiction treatment is almost always necessary.

Therapy and counseling are two of the practical yet effective ways we tackle Weber City, TN addiction crisis. Many of our patients are hardworking citizens who want to improve their lives and make a positive difference in their communities. Our therapy programs help them accomplish these goals:

• Individual Therapy: We provide intensive one-on-one counseling sessions for patients who prefer privacy to recover from substance abuse.
• Group Therapy: Emmaus also has group sessions to help people build communication skills, understand various perspectives, develop a sense of community, and receive feedback from peers.

Therapy isn’t the only addiction treatment option we offer at Emmaus. Depending on a patient’s needs, we may include other services in treatment plans to help them identify triggers for drug use, overcome cravings, and experience long-lasting sobriety.

Opioid addiction is a challenge for many people to overcome because of the severe flu-like withdrawal symptoms. Many people would instead prefer using opioids than experience the physiological and psychological withdrawal effects. With medicated-assisted treatment (MAT), we can help patients slowly stop their drug use through controlled medication to minimize adverse effects.

Having stable support at home substantially increases the likelihood of a patient remaining sober. With family education, a person’s primary support team will better understand the disease and how it affects the body and mind. We will ensure that the person with the addiction and their family understand how to set healthy boundaries and develop coping skills with our programs.
