Heroin addiction and prescription drug addiction are of the worst drug problems facing Americans. As a result, it is not a surprise that there are increasing numbers of rehabilitation facilities in and near Anchorage providing services for this specific type of addiction. A recovery center where all clients are receiving help for opioid dependence and addiction is one which is very sensitive to the challenges that opiate dependent people commonly deal with and what they will need to do to beat this highly dangerous and destructive addiction.
In a recovery facility specifically treating opioid addiction, the detoxification process is overseen by detox professionals who understand how tough opioid withdrawal is to overcome. Detoxification in some facilities will be medically monitored with prescription medications that will help remove or lessen the symptoms of opiate withdrawal, whereas others may provide an a non-medical approach without the use of medications. Drug free detoxification can be made easier through more holistic withdrawal methods and it may be a desired option for people who prefer not to rely on medication during and following treatment, as is the case with a methadone or buprenorphine type of program. After detox, opioid rehab programs which provide evidenced based therapy practices such a behavioral and cognitive counseling therapies produce the lowest rates of relapse especially when the client remains in an inpatient program for a minimum of 90 days.
