Addiction

Understanding Alcohol and Street Drug Addiction

Alcohol and drug addiction doesn’t happen overnight. It often begins with casual use, which over time can turn into dependency as the body and mind become reliant on the substance. Street drugs like cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and prescription medications like opioids can lead to severe physical and mental health complications. Similarly, excessive alcohol use impacts every organ in the body and can result in liver disease, heart problems, and mental health disorders like depression and anxiety.

The psychological aspects of addiction are particularly challenging. Alcohol and drug abuse alters brain chemistry, making it hard for users to break free from the cycle of craving, using, and withdrawal. Recognizing this, Dr. Singh’s clinic tailors its treatment plans to address the deep-rooted emotional and psychological causes of addiction.

Comprehensive Treatment Approach

At Psychiatric Clinic Dr. Jaswant Singh, we believe in a holistic treatment model. Our approach combines medical management, psychological counseling, and support systems to foster long-term recovery. Treatment begins with a thorough assessment, where we evaluate the extent of addiction, co-occurring mental health issues, and physical health. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is created, which may include:

• Detoxification: To safely manage withdrawal symptoms.
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Medications to reduce cravings and manage mental health issues.
• Psychotherapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other forms of counseling help patients understand the root causes of addiction.
• Group Therapy: Peer support plays a crucial role in overcoming addiction by fostering community and accountability.
• Family Therapy: Involving family in the recovery process helps rebuild trust and strengthens support systems.

A Path to Lasting Recovery

Dr. Jaswant Singh’s clinic is committed to providing ongoing support even after initial treatment. Through aftercare programs and follow-up appointments, we help patients stay on track and avoid relapse. Our goal is not just sobriety but a renewed, healthy, and fulfilling life.
