Located in northeastern Pennsylvania, Pocono Mountain Recovery Center is a place where healing, hope, and recovery are promoted so that women and men who are grappling with substance abuse can obtain the treatment that they need to overcome their challenges.
Substance abuse itself describes a number of behaviors, from a one-time use of toxic substances to a pattern of use, including many different legal and illegal substances. Provided the wide spectrum of these behaviors, the signs and symptoms that one might display when a substance abuse problem is occurring can vary based on the individual. However, specific characteristics and experiences are typically experienced in those who have abused or who have developed an addiction to substances like alcohol, prescription painkillers, opioids, meth, and so on. One of the most visible signs that someone has developed a substance abuse problem is the inability to control the amount and/or frequency that he or she is consuming the substance. For instance, those who have established a dependency on substances might be unable to resist the strong physical and mental desire to abuse these substances, even if they have suffered insurmountable consequences as a result of their use. Trying to end or entirely stop the amount of their substance abuse can cause extreme pain that can be relieved through the abuse of the substance once more. When a cycle such as this starts to occur, professional care is required.

Addiction Treatment Centers
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
