Addictions We Treat: From Opiates to Compulsive Behaviors

At Inscape, we have experience treating a range of substance addictions, including opiates such as fentanyl, heroin, methadone, suboxone, and oxycodone, as well as alcohol. We also offer support for individuals struggling with addiction to methamphetamine, cocaine, ketamine, kratom, benzodiazepines, and nicotine. Moreover, we work with individuals dealing with compulsive behaviors around eating, sex, or technology. Our program is designed to address the unique needs of each participant and provide a large degree of personalized care.

How Substance Abuse Leads to Dependence: The Psychological and Physical Factors

Substance dependence is a perceived need for a substance. It can be psychological, meaning the individual craves the drug to feel like they can function socially, concentrate, work, or simply make it through the day. Others are physically dependent, meaning their bodies have become accustomed to the drug, and they become sick or compromised when they go without it. Substance abuse can occur without dependence, but it can be extremely risky, and dependence or addiction is a common result.

Substance Abuse and Addiction Development: Losing Control

Addiction occurs when someone loses complete control over a certain behavior, becoming almost single-mindedly obsessed with it. The person continues to indulge in a particular pattern, often despite wishing they could stop in the face of bad consequences or fear. Addiction leads to a loss of control over behavior, whether the person wants to continue or not.

How Behavioral Therapies Treat Drug Addiction: Building New Habits

Behavioral therapies at Inscape have two primary goals. First, during the early days of recovery, we help move the psyche in new ways, helping it to branch out and reach beyond the obsessions it keeps going back to. Second, we expose each person to practices and techniques that they can continue to implement in their lives upon graduating, helping establish a long-term foundation on which to thrive. We recognize that addiction is a complex phenomenon, and we offer a range of therapies to address the unique needs of each participant.

Addiction Recovery through Self-Discovery: Clearing the Path

Self-discovery is a fundamental aspect of addiction recovery at Inscape. It's the process of uncovering what our own, felt purpose is, perhaps underneath the things that we've been told or pushed toward. It's about seeing more clearly the path we want to take in a complicated world and becoming our best selves - from our point of view! It requires vision, strength, humility, and acceptance. Our program offers a range of self-discovery practices that support participants in uncovering their strongest selves and building a solid foundation for long-term success.

The Best Treatment Programs for Addiction Go Beyond Substances: A Broader and More Enriching Experience

At Inscape, we do not consider ourselves a traditional drug and alcohol program. We offer a broader and more enriching experience. Our program is not about simple abstinence or sobriety; it's about having the tools, confidence, and self-awareness to lead a more enjoyable and fulfilling life. We encourage our participants to introspect in deep and creative ways.
