Drug addiction is a progressive disease.
Long-term drug use can cause devastating physical and psychological problems and dependence. It can interfere with relationships, work, health and more, to the extent where the drug becomes the most important aspect of a person’s life. For most people, addiction begins slowly, but increases rapidly if it goes untreated. Persons with addictions can often stop for awhile but, without professional help, usually revert back to the need to resume drug use.
Recovery from drug addiction is possible. The first step is to determine whether you (or someone you know) have a problem. Symptoms and a self-test for chemical dependency are included below. While they will give you an indication if there is a problem, an assessment by a certified addiction counselor is recommended.
Horizon Health Services' outpatient chemical dependency programs provide opportunities for people to recover from alcohol abuse/dependency. Horizon's staff members work with consumers to develop a plan for recovery that is responsive to their unique needs. We provide a state-of-the-art structured treatment approach with demonstrated effectiveness. All treatment services are provided with caring and respect, under the strictest confidentiality, with the overall goals of:
* preserving and enhancing clients’ dignity;
* helping clients to achieve their personal goals; and
* improving clients’ overall health and quality of life.
