Substance Abuse & Addiction Treatment Center

You may know that you or a loved one have a problem abusing drugs or alcohol, but you may not know how to stop. You or a loved one may have even tried substance abuse treatment before, but it just didn’t take.

When you or your loved one relies on drugs or alcohol to get through the day and it starts to interfere with work, relationships, and life, it’s essential to get treatment. 

Clearview, located in Southern California, helps our clients before they get to that point. In our treatment program for addiction with co-occurring mental illness, we utilize evidence-based treatment that addresses substance use disorder as well as any underlying mental health conditions to ensure the best chance at recovery.

What Does Substance Abuse Look Like?

Substance abuse is defined by excessive and regular use of drugs or alcohol, despite harmful consequences. Individuals may experience a variety of different symptoms before deciding to enter a substance abuse treatment clinic. These can include:
  • Increased tolerance for drugs or alcohol
  • Failure to fulfill significant life obligations
  • Difficulties with relationships and increased conflict
  • An inability to control or reduce drug or alcohol use
  • Increased time seeking drugs or alcohol
  • Sacrificing activities to use instead
  • Engaging in dangerous behaviors while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, sweating, depression, insomnia, tremors, and increased heart rate

Often, when individuals struggle with substance abuse, they also have a co-occurring mental health disorder. Disorders that commonly co-occur with addiction include depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Individuals can develop substance use disorder to cope with the symptoms of their mental health disorders, which may only make the symptoms worse. Furthermore, substance abuse may mask the symptoms of any co-occurring disorder, making it difficult to diagnose and properly treat. For these reasons, it’s vital to get treatment for substance abuse at a center like Clearview.

Substance Abuse and Addiction FAQs

Alcohol and marijuana are the two most abused drugs in the U.S., according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). In 2012, nearly 18 million people in the U.S. had problems with substance abuse and about 4 million met the criteria for marijuana abuse. Prescription medication and cocaine are the next most abused drugs.
The answer depends on a variety of factors, including age, biological predisposition, and environment. It also depends on your body’s tolerance for the substance you’re using, as drugs can affect people differently. Family history of substance abuse and addiction also contribute to the development of this disorder. If you’re concerned that you may have a drug or alcohol addiction, call our substance abuse rehabilitation center today at 866-321-9430 to get the treatment you need.

Substance abuse can spiral out of control if left untreated with potentially lethal consequences, including overdosing as well an increased risk for neurological impairments, heart and liver disease, participation in dangerous activities (including driving under the influence), self-harmful behaviors, and suicide. Substance abuse shouldn’t be taken lightly, so it’s vital to seek treatment at a substance treatment center like Clearview.
