Drug Addiction

A Systems Approach to Managing Drug Addiction

Drug Addiction

When it comes to misunderstood diseases in the U.S. today, drug addiction certainly tops the list. Many people believe that addiction is a choice and that those who can’t stop using are “weak” or lack the willpower. In reality, however, addiction is a very serious disease that takes proper treatment to overcome. At AIM, we look to combat the disease with our comprehensive and compassionate outpatient rehab program in Raleigh, NC.

What Are the Symptoms of Drug Addiction?

Common Indicators of Drug Addiction Include:

 

  • Spending a lot of time alone
  • Giving up on activities you used to enjoy to use drugs instead
  • Ignoring personal appearance and basic hygiene
  • Feeling sad or tired most of the time
  • Significant changes in sleeping patterns or weight
  • Frequent and severe mood swings
  • Constantly worrying about the next time you will use drugs
  • Resorting to stealing or lying to get drugs
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms if you go too long without using

Our Approach to Drug Addiction Treatment

We believe effective drug addiction treatment goes beyond just physical symptoms. For this reason, our approach integrates evidence-based therapies, medication, and holistic practices. Ultimately, we aim to function like a Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC), focusing on community-based, person-centered services that build on individual strengths. Learn more about ROSC here.

 

We know that mental health and addiction are influenced by your mind, body, environment, and life circumstances. Basic healthy practices help achieve wellness, but on their own they aren’t enough. We provide the tools and support necessary to manage real-world challenges in real-time for real-world challenges.
