Drug Addiction

A Comprehensive Systems Approach to Drug Addiction Management

A group of four people is seated in a circle in a bright room, discussing various drug addiction treatments. A woman holding a clipboard appears to be leading the conversation. The others listen attentively. The setting looks like a small-group meeting or counseling session.

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.

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.
