The Breakthrough Addiction Recovery Approach to Cross Addiction Treatment Cross addiction is the presence of two or more substance dependencies. Cross addictions are very common and can usually be treated simultaneously. Many cross addicted patients have developed their dependencies in an effort to deal with their primary addiction. Some of the more common cross addictions that are developed from dealing with a primary addiction are;
For these patients, cross addiction is a direct result of “self-medicating” to mask or avoid the withdrawal symptoms developed from their primary addiction. We do not have a rigid or predetermined treatment plan. We evaluate each individual and determine what cross addictions might be involved as well as assessing the severity of their drug addiction or alcoholism. A personalized addiction treatment plan is then developed for the individual that addresses their specific needs. During our initial assessment, we include a psychological evaluation. After determining the client’s individual needs during the initial assessment, a personalized and unique addiction treatment plan is developed with the input of the client. The treatment plan may include a referal for medically supervised detox, psychiatric evaluation and treatment referal, cognitive behavioral therapy, individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, extensive education on the pharmacology and physiology of addiction and extensive anti-relapse and aftercare planning. We also provide referals for nutritional guidance that helps the client address any deficiencies of essential nutrients. People dealing with multiple chemical dependencies do not have to reach the extreme late stages of dependency to decide to get help. We aggressively treat cross addictions and help people resume sober, productive and healthy lives. |
