Help for Every Type of Addiction

Addiction is a chronic brain disorder — not a moral failing. Every substance creates different physical and psychological dependencies that require specific, evidence-based treatment approaches. Select your substance below to learn about treatment options, or call our free helpline for immediate personalized help.

Opioids, Heroin & Fentanyl

Opioid use disorder is the most deadly addiction in America today. Fentanyl alone is responsible for over 75% of all drug overdose deaths. Effective treatment with MAT reduces overdose deaths by up to 50%.

Opioid Overdose? Call 911 Now.

Signs: unresponsive, slow or stopped breathing, blue lips. Give Narcan (naloxone) if available. Multiple doses may be needed for fentanyl overdoses.

Alcohol Addiction & Alcohol Use Disorder

Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening — never attempt to detox from alcohol alone. Medical detox followed by MAT, therapy, and peer support produces excellent long-term outcomes.

Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol use disorder affects 29 million Americans. Alcohol withdrawal can cause fatal seizures — medical detox is essential. MAT with naltrexone, acamprosate, or disulfiram significantly reduces relapse. Full insurance coverage available.

Alcohol Withdrawal Warning

Alcohol withdrawal can produce life-threatening grand mal seizures and delirium tremens within 24–72 hours of stopping. Never stop drinking abruptly without medical supervision. Call our helpline immediately to arrange safe medical detox.

Meth, Cocaine & Crack Cocaine

No FDA-approved medications exist for stimulant use disorders — treatment relies heavily on evidence-based behavioral therapies, especially Contingency Management. Residential treatment produces the best outcomes.

Benzodiazepines & Prescription Drugs

Benzodiazepine withdrawal is one of only two drug withdrawal syndromes that can be directly fatal — along with alcohol. Never stop benzos abruptly without medical supervision.

Benzodiazepine Addiction

Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan — benzo withdrawal can cause fatal seizures. Physical dependence can develop in as little as 2–4 weeks of daily use, even when taken as prescribed. Never stop benzos cold turkey. Medical detox with gradual taper is the only safe approach.

Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription opioids, stimulants (Adderall), and sedatives (Z-drugs like Ambien) can all produce physical dependence and addiction, even when taken as prescribed. Counterfeit pills containing fentanyl are increasingly common. Treatment options depend on the specific medication involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
No addiction is impossible to treat, but some require more intensive intervention than others. Opioid use disorder has the highest overdose mortality risk and benefits enormously from MAT. Meth and cocaine addiction have no FDA-approved medications, making behavioral therapy more critical. Alcohol and benzo addiction require medical detox due to potentially fatal withdrawal. The key is matching the right treatment to the specific substance and severity.
Yes — polysubstance use disorder is extremely common. Many people use multiple substances simultaneously or sequentially. This requires careful assessment and a treatment plan that addresses all substances involved. Our specialists conduct a comprehensive substance use assessment on every call to ensure the right treatment approach for your complete situation.
Addiction is classified as a chronic brain disorder by NIDA, SAMHSA, ASAM, and every major medical organization. Repeated substance use produces lasting changes in brain structure and function — particularly in reward, motivation, and decision-making systems — that drive compulsive use despite negative consequences. This does not remove personal agency, but it does mean stopping requires more than willpower alone.
It depends on the substance. For opioid and alcohol use disorder, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combined with counseling is the most effective approach. For stimulant use disorder (meth, cocaine), Contingency Management combined with CBT produces the best outcomes. For all substance use disorders, longer treatment duration, integrated mental health care, and aftercare planning improve long-term recovery rates.
