Codeine Rehabs: Inpatient, Outpatient & PHP

Treatment Options for Codeine Addiction

There are different levels of care when it comes to drug rehab. Each level has its benefits and concerns.

Each level has Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Addiction Education, Family Support and many other treatment programs in common. The difference in treatment plan comes from the time commitment offered and how the recovery center uses that time to help patients.

Inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, and outpatient treatment are all offered at Amethyst to provide patients with options, as they become clean and sober. A patient should choose a treatment option that suits themselves and their addiction. If the addiction is more severe, residential treatment is recommended.

Levels of Care

There are different levels of care offered when you go drug rehab. After detoxification, the next step is to make a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.

Addiction treatment is not meant to be uniform for all drug addicts. In the case of codeine addiction, inpatient treatment is initially recommended because opiates are highly addictive.

Does Insurance Cover Treatment?

Some private insurance will cover codeine treatment or drug rehab in general. This is entirely dependent on each specific case for each patient.

Different Kinds of Rehab for Codeine Addiction

The road to recovery is not the same for everyone. There are different approaches offered at Amethyst so that different kinds of people have treatment programs that meet their needs.

Here are the different treatment programs offered at Amethyst treatment center:

• Recovery philosophy
• Dual diagnosis
• Family support
• Holistic treatment
• Faith-based
• Alumni Program

Each of these unique treatment programs, in conjunction with a medical detox and CBT, are designed to help a patient struggling with codeine addiction.

Inpatient Care

Inpatient care or residential treatment is a very structured treatment option. Rehab centers house their patients as they recover from drug addiction. There is a team of medical professionals and trained addiction specialists that assist each addict and make them feel at home.

A good candidate for inpatient care is someone whose codeine abuse has been used as self-medication for mental health issues. This could be someone who has developed a dependency on the drug to mask emotional pain.

A dual diagnosis exists when a patient has a mental health illness that co-occurs with substance abuse. It’s good to live in the treatment center when this is the case because there is a constant focus on self-improvement and mental health care.

Inpatient care can be as short-term as 6 weeks or as long as 3 months. Patients are welcome to stay as long as they need to. There are also less intensive levels of care that help patients to wean off of addiction treatment and get back to their daily lives.

Outpatient Care

Outpatient care is the last level of care. Outpatient rehab has a minimum time requirement so that patients can check on their mental health.

Since lots of therapy has already been done, patients spend a lot of their time in outpatient rehab focussing on learning new behaviors to prevent relapse. They also learn about how to give back.

Amethyst pays particular attention to education during outpatient treatment and how this can play a role in the future habits of a drug addict. There are also interactive groups that are not so much drug rehab an opportunity to catch up with other past addicts and taking a few hours out of the day to focus on mental health.

Partial Hospitalization

A partial hospitalization program or PHP is a step down from inpatient treatment. Patients continue on the road to recovery, but this is not a residential treatment option.

A PHP, just like inpatient rehab, can be short term or long term. A patient should feel comfortable with the transition between different levels of care.

With partial hospitalization programs, the idea is to continue behavioral therapy, relapse prevention modules and supervised medication management. A patient may be comfortable with getting back into their routine but still needing that extra guidance that rehab centers can provide.

Therapy for Codeine Addicts

Therapy is a huge part of addiction treatment. Special attention is given to each patient so that their treatment plan provides the therapy that they feel is effective. Behavioral therapy is the method most used for substance abuse issues. In the case of Codeine addiction and any other prescription drug addiction, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is especially helpful.

CBT pays careful attention to how the codeine addiction came to be, based on observing the behaviors of the drug addict. The CBT therapist will ask a patient what behaviors lead to prescription drugs being used recreationally.

In a typical day at the treatment facility, after withdrawal and detox, a patient will go to therapy. This personal connection with a behavioral health therapist allows patients to focus on how to stay clean and sober beyond life at the treatment center.

How to Get Codeine Rehab Help for Yourself or Family

It is common that drug addiction to opiates comes through the misuse of prescription drugs. There are legal, helpful prescription drugs that have the properties of opiates.

There are also illicit drugs with the same effect and a lot more synthetic chemicals that cause the brain to latch onto the drug.

Codeine addiction is a very accessible prescription drug. The purpose of codeine prescription is to relieve mild to moderate pain. It can also be used to reduce coughing. The drug is supposed to be taken consistently as a patient with a cough or chronic pain recovers.

Codeine can cause a chemical dependency because it converts to morphine as it enters the brain. The drug uses this to change the feelings that are felt- both physically and mentally. This is where drug addiction comes into play.

No matter how you came about your drug addiction to codeine, you are probably wondering what to do next. The best way to break an opioid addiction is to go to a treatment center.

With the support of medical professionals and trusted therapists, you’ll be able to understand your mind and body on a new level and become clean and sober.
