If you've suffered long enough with the pain and rejection that so often co-occur with addiction, you may have convinced yourself that addiction is your fault. Nothing could be further from the truth, especially in Idaho. Substance abuse addiction is a disease of the brain and body, and it demands prompt and effective medical intervention. No matter what rehab facility you choose, medical and psychiatric care will form a key component of your addiction recovery in Boise, Idaho.
Northpoint Recovery is a state of the art, comfortable and modern inpatient detox and drug rehab facility designed to help our clients get the help they need to overcome addiction.
Detoxing in Idaho from drugs and alcohol is the first step toward lasting sobriety. Detox often comes with some unpleasant side effects, though, and your doctor can help you manage these challenges. Additionally, for some people detox yields life-threatening symptoms such as loss of consciousness, dehydration, and seizures. Detoxing under the supervision of a doctor is the best way to avoid these symptoms, and to ensure they're properly and promptly treated if they do occur.
The role of your doctor doesn't end there, though. Drug and alcohol abuse directly undermine your health. Depending on the drug or drugs you abuse, you may be vulnerable to organ failure, muscle aches, chronic headaches, sleep problems, obesity, malnutrition, skin problems, communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, chronic illness, and recurrent infections.
Your first order of business will be to get these conditions under control. Your doctor may prescribe medications, lifestyle remedies, or medical procedures. She may also counsel you about the conjunction of addiction and chronic health problems, since some of the medications you may need could potentially be addictive. Some will need to go to a drug rehab or addiction treatment center in Boise.
Most insurance companies will cover 100% of the cost. We also help with financing. Call Now. (888) 280-3348
Verify InsuranceWhen you first check into an Idaho drug rehab, don't be afraid to ask your doctor pointed questions so you can get clear answers. Those questions include:
Our society tends to separate mental and physical health, but the truth is that they're intimately connected. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who concentrate on brain health. IN some cases, your psychiatrist may treat both physical and mental health conditions. If you're in therapy, your psychiatrist will also work with your therapist, and may sit in on some sessions.
So what can a psychiatrist offer you? Because mental health medications such as antidepressants require medical supervision, a psychiatrist is the only person who can prescribe these medications. For many recovering addicts, these medications help ease the misery of detox and make the first few weeks of sobriety less difficult. Your psychiatrist is also a key player in your treatment team, and will advocate for your mental health, help diagnose any underlying mental health conditions, and may even offer you therapy.
Psychiatrists are doctors first and foremost, which means that your psychiatrist's primary job is to diagnose you. If your psychiatrist asks intrusive questions or seems abrupt, it's only because she is trying tog et the most accurate information.
