RENAISSANCE Programs

Opiate Addiction

If you or a loved one suffers from opiate abuse or opiate dependency, world-class holistic treatment is available at RENAISSANCE MALIBU. We offer state-of-the-art, individualized programs that include opiate drug detox, opiate counseling, and numerous innovative opiate treatment therapies in an unmatched setting of natural beauty and serenity. Our goal for every client is a happy, productive, drug-free lifetime.

Opiate dependency on doctor prescribed medications such as OxyContin, Vicodin, Percodan, and codeine is an all-to-common occurrence that afflicts individuals of all ages and ethnicities, and from all walks of life. Through accidental or careless misuse, people with no history of opiate abuse often find themselves as physically and emotionally hooked on these drugs as any heroine or methadone addict. Opiates do not discriminate. Whether intentional or accidental, prolonged opiate abuse will result in opiate dependency. Opiate addiction symptoms include craving and signs of withdrawal: restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps, kicking movements, and others.

RENAISSANCE MALIBU's Opiate Dependency Program

Starting even before a client arrives for opiate dependency treatment at RENAISSANCE MALIBU's facility, the clinical staff works with the client's family and friends to develop an understanding of significant concerns and issues. Upon arrival, each person receives a series of personal evaluations to assess the client's status in each of the program's four main healing components; Mind, Body, Spirit, and Relationships. After coordination with all clinical and medical team members, the client moves to a luxurious suite, ready to focus on their individually tailored opiate treatment plan.

Opiate drug detox is often a critical first step in our opiate treatment process, whereby the physical and emotional discomfort of withdrawal can be managed by specific drug regimens designed, prescribed and monitored by RENAISSANCE MALIBU's licensed opiate dependency specialists. Protocols are tailored to the individual, taking into account each new client's physical and emotional condition, as well as their opiate abuse history, so that one's withdrawal experience is measured, monitored, and as comfortable as possible.

With effective opiate detox, rehabilitation and a lasting recovery from opiate dependency are more likely to be achieved. The world-renowned clinical staff at RENAISSANCE MALIBU designs an individualized program for each client from an unprecedented range of both traditional and innovative treatment options, while respecting each client's need for maximum individual attention.

Evaluating Opiate Dependency Programs

Any treatment center you contact that boasts first-rate opiate abuse or opiate dependency treatment should be entirely able - and willing -- to supply answers to any and all of your questions. This is a life-and-death decision, so do not be timid in asking, and be sure that you are comfortable with the answers.

First, determine the accreditation of the opiate treatment program you are considering. Remarkably, there are many opiate rehabs that have no accreditation, often because their treatment methods are questionable. Some of the more dubious opiate rehab centers even state that there is a "simple answer" to opiate dependency, and that dealing with emotional, relationship and family issues is not necessary. Be aware that this approach is short-sited, counter-productive, and entirely inaccurate.

If you or a loved one suffers from opiate dependence and is looking for effective treatment, you should inquire:

. Is the clinical staff fully licensed - not merely certified?
. Do they specialize in opiate dependency and opiate abuse?
. Can they point to a history of success in opiate dependency treatment and recovery?
. Do they have relapse prevention and continuing care programs?
. Does the program offer a continuum of care, where you can transition to lesser or greater levels of care if you need them?
. Does the program offer a wide range of ancillary professionals and activities to further accommodate your specialized needs?
. Is the program structure flexible enough to accommodate personal needs?
. Does the treatment program offer a balance of group and individual activities?
. Does the program offer specialized treatment tracks for your specific needs?
. Does the program take place in an institutional setting or offer a beautiful, serene environment conducive to healing?
