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.
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%.
Prescription opioids, oxycodone, hydrocodone — opioid use disorder is treatable with MAT, detox, and behavioral therapy. Most insurance covers full treatment.
Heroin causes rapid physical dependence and is almost always contaminated with fentanyl today. Medical detox and MAT with buprenorphine or methadone dramatically reduce overdose risk.
50–100 times more potent than morphine. Involved in 75% of all overdose deaths. A potentially lethal dose is invisible to the naked eye. Fentanyl addiction is treatable — get help now.
Signs: unresponsive, slow or stopped breathing, blue lips. Give Narcan (naloxone) if available. Multiple doses may be needed for fentanyl overdoses.
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 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 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.
Call Now — FreeNo 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.
2.7 million Americans used meth in the past year. No FDA medications exist — Contingency Management, CBT, and residential treatment are the most effective approaches. Co-occurring psychosis is common and treatable.
4.8 million Americans used cocaine in the past year. Cocaine is a leading cause of heart attacks in young adults. Increasingly contaminated with fentanyl. CBT and Contingency Management are first-line treatments.
One of the fastest-developing addictions — the intense 5–10 minute high drives immediate compulsive re-dosing. Increasingly fentanyl-contaminated. Community Reinforcement Approach and CM are highly effective.
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.
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 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.
