AT WHITE HOUSE RECOVERY & DETOX

The act of ingesting drugs or alcohol does not mean someone is addicted. Many factors determine whether a person will become dependent on a substance or not, such as genetics, current health, and family history of addiction.

You can get stuck in a cycle of addiction, making it harder to use available resources to stop. Researchers have pinpointed three distinct stages of addiction, and they each impact different areas of your brain. A report by the Surgeon General explains the addiction cycle as following these specific steps:

GOAL OF EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT

Facilities and individual therapists alike use EBT to educate and empower you to make the best possible decisions for your continued health and safety. Receiving treatments based on concrete evidence can help to peel away the anecdotal evidence and social expectations that surround common therapies and present the facts as researchers report them.

CRITERIA FOR EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT

Before you choose to undergo a new treatment or therapy, it is essential to understand what kind of evidence backs up any claims about how it may help you. To be considered evidence-based, a treatment must meet certain criteria. The criteria accepted as nearly-universal indicators that a treatment is evidence-based include:

  • The treatment relies on extensive research conducted by a reputable source and published in peer-reviewed journals
  • The goal of the treatment should match any results from the reported research
  • The treatment results were consistent, repeatable, and studied in more than one setting
  • Regular reviews of the data back up the original findings

DIFFERENT TYPES OF EVIDENCE-BASED-TREATMENT

Ensuring that everyone involved is educated about the various aspects of substance abuse and any related consequences is a significant component of almost every evidence-based treatment. Numerous EBT methods have been heavily researched and have proven to successfully bear positive real-world applications.

Below are some of the most common evidence-based methods used to treat substance abuse disorders:

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is one of the most popular types of therapy used to address a wide range of mental, physical, and emotional issues. Decades of research papers back up the effectiveness of CBT, showing how useful it can be in treating substance use disorders, along with many other conditions.
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI): Acceptance and support are used as tools in motivational interviewing therapies to facilitate personal reflection and change. There is evidence that MI can be used to motivate individuals who may be struggling with substance use and addiction. MI is particularly successful in helping people overcome fears associated with change.
  • 12-Step Programs: A mainstay of substance use recovery is self-help groups that follow a set of guidelines. 12-Step programs are among the most popular meetings for substance use disorder patients around the world. A large number of studies prove that 12-Step groups can effectively increase the odds of long-term sobriety.
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Past traumatic events can cause chronic mental distress. EMDR can help lower the risk of these memories causing anxiety or triggering a relapse.
  • Interactive Journaling: One widespread therapeutic practice involves writing down journal entries in response to non-confrontational questions regarding substance use and its effects on your daily life. Research shows that interactive journaling can help lower the risk of relapse.
  • Prescription Medication: In some cases, doctors use prescription medication to counter unwanted psychological and physical symptoms. There is a great deal of data about the usefulness of various medicines to aid in the recovery of individuals diagnosed with a substance use disorder.
