Addiction Treatment

What is addiction?

Addiction is a complex brain condition characterized by compulsive habits that you continue to partake in despite  negative consequences.

As you become dependent on a substance, you can then develop tolerance to it. This leads to increased amount and/or frequency of use, trying to reach the same benefit level as when the substance was begun. Without intervention and proper treatment, addiction can impact your relationships, professional work life, health, and finances. That is why we developed Magnolia Recovery, a luxury inpatient center with expert detox and residential treatment. 

How do I know if I have an addiction?

You may not even realize you have an addiction until a trusted friend or relative points out changes in your behavior or appearance, including:

• Weight loss
• Dilated pupils
• Hyperactivity 
• Fatigue
• Missing work or school
• Irritability
• Anger
• Loss of interest
• Defensive attitude
• Financial problems
• Relationship issues
• Insomnia
• Changes in personal hygiene

You can develop an addiction to many things, but some of the most common and dangerous substances include:

• Alcohol
• Opioids
• Marijuana
• Inhalants
• Tobacco
• Cocaine
• Sedatives such as Xanax, Ativan

Compulsive habits are hard to break, which is why Diablo Valley Drug and Alcohol Services wants to lend a helping hand.

How is addiction treated?

It’s extremely difficult to overcome addiction on your own. Diablo Valley Drug and Alcohol Services tell our clients to prepare to remain in addiction treatment for at least 3 months. Some of the addiction treatment options the clinic offers to make this journey easier are:

Detox

Magnolia Recovery in Walnut Creek specializes in Inpatient Detox. This allows for expert treatment in a luxurious setting with medication admininstration, and continual monitoring by the board certified physician. We also have a residential program for continued care, in the same 5-star setting, when detox is complete.

We are the only certified and accredited outpatient detox center in or near the East Bay. 

Detox is most always the first step in any drug or alcohol recovery plan. During your detox period, it’s important to abstain from using drugs or alcohol to ensure the substance clears out of your system, and to avoid dangerous interactions with the detox medications. Unfortunately, withdrawal symptoms are often so severe that many patients relapse early in their recovery unless there is the right treatment and environment. This is why we have the trusted experts at Magnolia Recovery in Walnut Creek.

Addiction treatment

Magnolia Recovery and Diablo Valley Drug and Alcohol Services treat your addiction depending on a number of factors, including the length and severity of your addiction. They offer several different addiction treatment programs to help you recover in the most comfortable and successful way possible. From inpatient treatment in a private, luxurious setting with your own room and balcony, to continued outpatient care with IOP and PHP. From medication-assisted treatment (MAT) including Vivitrol injections and Suboxone to intensive therapy, family counseling, and health monitoring, the entire team is dedicated to your recovery.

Aftercare services

The Diablo Valley Drug and Alcohol Services team understands that staying sober is difficult, even after your commitment to treatment. That’s why we provide continuous comprehensive aftercare services, which you can set up before completing your initial recovery treatment.
