Addiction is difficult, and you don’t have to conquer it alone. Contact Emmaus Medical & Counseling and begin your journey to recovery today.
What To Know About Drug Addiction Treatment
People who experience addiction may misuse various substances, including alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and prescription medication. No matter the drug of choice, prolonged misuse can have devastating consequences in the lives of addicted people and their loved ones. Some of the results of drug abuse include:
- Fractured families
- Social isolation
- Incarceration
- Organ damage
- Death
Overcoming drug and alcohol addiction alone is incredibly difficult, which is why Emmaus offers substance abuse treatment that caters to each patient’s specific needs. While we specialize in opiate addictions, our counselors and therapists have the skills and compassion to help people overcome other drug addictions as well.
Our rehab program includes outpatient visits in a faith-supported, clinic-based setting. We also provide telemedicine on an as-needed basis. We understand that substance abuse can occur with anyone, including hardworking Tennessee residents.
Our goal is to help every patient resume a regular everyday routine and improve their quality of life without substance abuse.

What To Expect From Substance Abuse Treatment Programs
Therapy comes in two forms at our facility: individual and group. Through intensive counseling, we help people overcome dysfunctional thought processes that many people with addictions experience and teach them how to develop effective coping mechanisms instead of using drugs and alcohol. Other types of treatment we offer are:
- 12-step programs
- Patient support systems
- Faith-based approaches
The Emmaus team also uses medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to wean substances abusers off drugs gently. MAT, along with behavioral therapies and counseling, creates a “whole person” approach to substance abuse treatment. We tailor every aspect of our treatment plans to every patient’s needs to help them sustain drug abuse recovery.

People Also Ask
How can substance abuse be reduced?
Strategies that help reduce substance abuse include:
- Supporting youth and social development activities to engage teens and young adults
- Supporting local policies to reduce cannabis use and underage access to alcohol
Increasing access to substance abuse treatment programs
What makes treatment effective?
Substance abuse treatment is a practical approach to addiction recovery for several reasons. Treatment facilities often require patients to participate in their programs for an adequate amount of time, usually a minimum of 30 days, to ensure that they have the necessary strategies to reduce their urge to participate in drugs or alcohol.
Treatments address needs beyond addiction, such as legal, social, mental, medical, and environmental issues. Behavioral therapies, including individual, group, and family counseling, help people uncover the reason for their struggles. Counseling also teaches them how to resist drug use, develop better social relationships, and problem solve.
What is the main cause of addiction?
Genetics is another contributing factor. Some people develop harmful habits after experimenting with substances because of genetic traits. Though drug addiction is not an inherited trait in the strictest of terms, a person’s genetic makeup can speed up the effects of addiction or worsen the disease’s effects.
Other contributing factors to addiction development include stress, sexual and physical abuse, and mental development. It’s possible to overcome these issues with the help of substance abuse treatment.
