Chlordiazepoxide Addiction Treatment Options
With the proper treatment prescribed by certified doctors, you will successfully beat Librium overdose addiction. There are a couple treatment options: Librium outpatient treatment and long-term treatment.
Medical Treatment
Medical detoxification is the first step for a patient starting addiction treatment. The procedure is monitored by a specialist ensuring safe withdrawal from the substance. Prescribed medications are used to ease the withdrawal symptoms as the substance leaves the body. Doctor-prescribed medications help to stabilize the brain, bodily functioning, and help control cravings.
Inpatient Treatment vs. Outpatient Treatment for Chlordiazepoxide Addiction
Inpatient treatment includes monitoring by doctors 24/7. The patient receives counseling services and medications, and also participates in group therapies. This treatment plan is commonly recommended for people with high chlordiazepoxide addiction and withdrawal symptoms.
Outpatient treatment includes individual and group counseling. Patients engaged in this treatment can also receive prescribed medication management services per healthcare instructions. This program allows the patient to schedule an appointment that suits their schedules and live in their home throughout the treatment. People with mild effects of substance addiction are prescribed outpatient treatment.
Process and Stages of Chlordiazepoxide Addiction Treatment in the Dr.Vorobjev Clinic
Addiction treatment is a program that occurs in stages. The following is a typical process in the Dr. Vorobjev Clinic:
Diagnosis of Chlordiazepoxide Addiction
The diagnosis starts by intake, which involves gathering patient information for admission. The specialist will gather your basic information, health history, and conduct a medical examination, which includes a drug screening test.
Next is a complete drug abuse evaluation, including when you started using the drug, how often you use it, signs, and symptoms. The last stage is developing the treatment plant as per personal needs.
Chlordiazepoxide Detoxification Treatment
This process helps to manage the withdrawal symptoms. The medications used during this program help keep the user comfortable while the substance leaves the body. Medically supervised detoxification prevents the dangerous complications of chlordiazepoxide withdrawal.
Inpatient Treatment
This step is recommended for patients with severe addiction or withdrawal. The patient will have to stay 24/7 in the clinic during this program.
Outpatient Treatment
An outpatient program may be recommended initially for patients with moderate dependence or be the next step after inpatient treatment. Outpatient sessions focus on drug abuse education, personal and group counseling. The patient is educated on fighting substance dependence and coping with it.
Aftercare
Aftercare helps maintain your sobriety after completing the treatment program. Aftercare includes ongoing counseling in support groups and support services.
