Residential Barbiturates Addiction Treatment

Learn more about barbiturate addiction treatment at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in Northern California

Barbiturates are a type of depressant medication that are generally used to treat anxiety and sometimes seizure disorders or insomnia. When ingested, they produce feelings of calm, relaxation, and pleasure. When barbiturates are used recreationally, these pleasurable and relaxing feelings are intensified and can be so strong as to become addictive. Barbiturates have become less common over the last few decades, partially as a result of their addictive potential, as physicians have transitioned to prescribing other types of medications, such as benzodiazepines. However, barbiturates are still prescribed, and many individuals still struggle with barbiturate use disorders.

Barbiturate use disorder is a serious and life-threatening condition, but at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab, we have decades of experience helping individuals overcome addictions to these powerful drugs. With the help of our caring, experienced staff in our compassionate treatment programs, individuals who are struggling with an addiction to barbiturates can find the help they need to live the recovered lives they deserve.

Helping a loved one get treatment for barbiturate addiction

Discovering that a loved one is abusing barbiturates can be a painful and difficult experience. However, it is important to remember that there are many things you can do to help your loved one overcome this disorder. Consider the following:

• Learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of barbiturate abuse. In addition, gain the ability to recognize the signs of intoxication and overdose so that you can plan for how to handle those situations.
• Look into options for treatment, and find out what treatments have worked for other individuals. Make a short list of treatment centers that provide these types of care to share with your loved one at an appropriate time.
• Try to stay in touch with your loved one. Talk with him or her, share your observations, and listen to his or her responses openly and nonjudgmentally. Emotions are likely to run high during these conversations, so try your best to ensure that they do not turn into arguments.
• When your loved one is ready to seek treatment, help him or her transition into care. For example, you might consider offering to set up appointments with treatment center staff and making yourself available to accompany your loved one to those appointments as a show of support. Praise his or her courage, and do everything you can to remove obstacles that may be in his or her way.
• During your loved one’s time in treatment, remain a constant and unmoving source of support.
• Do not get so caught up in taking care of your loved one that you forget to take care of yourself. You will likely be of little help to your loved one if you are exhausted and burned out, so keep up with basic self-care: eat healthy, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.

Why consider treatment for barbiturate addiction at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in Northern California

Although barbiturates have helped many individuals, these are powerful drugs and must be respected. Barbiturate abuse has been associated with a range of negative outcomes, including job loss, long-term unemployment, financial disruption, separation, divorce, loss of child custody, and social isolation. In addition, the abuse of these drugs can damage a person’s organs, cause cognitive difficulties, and even result in the individual’s death from suicide or overdose. Although these consequences are severe, they can be all but avoided if a person receives prompt, effective treatment at a high-quality substance abuse treatment center.

Within these plans, the following proven-effective and evidenced-based methods of care may be included as part of a man or woman’s experience at Duffy’s:

Medication management: If a guest is requiring medication in order to manage the symptoms of a mental health condition while working on recovering from an addiction to barbiturates, we, at Duffy’s, are pleased to be able to facilitate meetings with a psychiatrist on an as-needed basis. Our staff assists guests in providing them access to their medications, and the dosages administered are monitored closely so as to ensure the safety of all guests who require pharmaceutical interventions while in our care.

Individual therapy: Each man and woman who chooses to recover at Duffy’s is assigned a primary care counselor for the duration of his or her treatment. These staff members facilitate individual therapy sessions two times each week so that guests are able to process their feelings, emotions, and experiences in a private setting with a qualified professional. We believe that it is beneficial for those who are grappling with an addiction to barbiturates to take part in individual therapy, as this method of care allows them to openly discuss their experiences in a setting that is extremely conducive to both healing and recovering.

Group therapy: So as to provide guests with optimal support, Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab is proud to offer several group therapy opportunities to guests who are battling addictions to barbiturates and other substances.

Family therapy: Because Duffy’s is committed to helping both guests and their loved ones when a barbiturate addiction is affecting their lives, the programming we offer includes family therapy sessions.

Additionally, we also offer educational groups on the weekends that are led by our staff and provide guests’ loved ones with the information and support they require at this stage in their love one’s recovery. Lastly, we afford each guest with the opportunity to request a private family session with his or her primary care counselor near the end of his or her time with us so as to prepare for what lies ahead after leaving Duffy’s.

Depending on the guest’s needs, we can customize a plan of treatment that befits what the individual is needing during his or her recovery journey. We work side-by-side with the men and women who come to Duffy’s, and we will do all that we can to ensure that each person entrusted into our care is receiving only the most appropriate methods of treatment. Because of this, the inclusion and frequency of the above interventions within a guest’s treatment plan will rely on where the individual is at in his or her recovery.
