ALCOHOLISM

Alcoholism is one of the most common and destructive problems that we see here at Clear Recovery. Alcohol is very common in our society, and for this reason it can often be difficult to escape. Alcoholism is not to be taken lightly, withdrawals from Alcohol can lead to seizures and even death. For this reason as well as many others, our utilization of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) can be essential in recovery from Alcoholism.

HOW WE CAN HELP

We see an incredible amount of success here at Clear Recovery. It is common for us to see even the most seemingly impossible recoveries attained. Individuals who have lost everything, from family to housing, leave Clear Recovery with all these things recovered. Not only do these individuals recover all that they once lost, but they build lives that are better than they ever could have imagined.

Here at Clear Recovery of Cache Valley we have an incredible team. Many of us have overcome addictions ourselves and use our experience in doing so to help others find success. We are the only rehabilitation facility in Cache Valley that utilizes Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) to overcome dependence on Alcohol. This is proven to help immensely with success in overcoming this type of addiction. Even though it can seem impossible to overcome an addiction to alcohol, there is no such thing as a hopeless situation. We see individuals who have lost all hope, overcome this addiction return to a joyful and functional life regularly. Don’t give up, call us today, and start your journey to a better life. You can do it, you can stand back up again.

METHAMPHETAMINE ADDICTION

Meth is a very stimulating drug that is typically seen as a white, bitter powder or a pill. Crystal meth has the appearance of glass fragments or shiny, bluish-white shards. It is very chemically similar to a commonly prescribed drug, amphetamine.

HOW METH HOOKS YOU

Methamphetamine is very commonly abused. It is a very potent and highly addictive substance. Meth has been and remains an extremely serious problem in the United States. Much of this is due to the over-prescription of its chemical cousins, Adderall, and Ritalin. These legal prescriptions act on the same receptors in the brain. Be wary, simply because you obtain a drug legally does not mean that it is safe. Studies in the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), showed that over 12 million individuals (Which is over 4.7 percent of the entire United States population) have experimented with Meth at least one time.

DANGERS OF METH

The consequences of using stimulants like methamphetamine are incredibly detrimental for the individual who is using it. It negatively affects people in many ways, including psychologically, medically, and socially. More specifically this drug can cause severe memory loss, unexpected aggression, psychotic episodes and behavior, cardiovascular system damage, not eating enough, and dental problems to the extent of losing all of your teeth.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Here at Clear Recovery of Cache Valley, we have an incredible team. Many of us have overcome addictions ourselves and use our experience in doing so to help others find success. Even though it can seem impossible to overcome an addiction to Meth, there is no such thing as a hopeless situation. We see individuals who have lost all hope, overcome this addiction return to a joyful and functional life regularly. Don’t give up, call us today, and start your journey to a better life. You can do it, you can stand back up again.

OPIOID ADDICTION

Opioids are a classification of drugs that include the illegal drug heroin, and all other synthetic opioids. This includes fentanyl, and all pain relievers that are available legally with a prescription. Some common medications are oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, and morphine. It is important to make the connection that these legal medications are a more euphoric version of heroin that act on the exact same receptors in the brain. This can help individuals to rethink the way in which they take their legal medications. When people become dependent on their legal prescriptions and can no longer obtain them, they often turn to the cheaper and only option, Heroin.

HOW OPIOIDS HOOK YOU

All opioids are closely chemically related and interact with opioid receptors that are located in the brain. Opioid pain killers can be safe when taken for a short amount of time and only exactly as prescribed by a doctor. This is because they produce such an intense euphoria while causing pain relief, they are most often misused. Regular use consistently over time, even exactly as prescribed by your doctor will inevitably lead to a physical dependence. This can lead to addiction, overdose, and death.

OUR PLAN

Here at Clear Recovery of Cache Valley we have an incredible team. Many of us have overcome addictions ourselves and use our experience in doing so to help others find success. We are the only rehabilitation facility in Cache Valley that utilizes Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) to overcome opioid dependence. This is proven to help immensely with success in overcoming this type of addiction. Even though it can seem impossible to overcome an addiction to Opioids, there is no such thing as a hopeless situation. We see individuals who have lost all hope, overcome this addiction return to a joyful and functional life regularly. Don’t give up, call us today and start your journey to a better life. You can do it, you can stand back up again.
