Drug Addiction Treatment Poznan

Untreated drug addiction leads to numerous health, social, and psychological consequences. Addicted individuals often experience deterioration in quality of life, relationship problems with their environment, and increased risk of serious diseases. Drug addiction is a serious condition that requires specialized help.

Health problems

Drug addiction leads to damage to internal organs, including the heart, liver, and lungs, which can result in serious illnesses and even death.

Mental disorders

Drug addiction often coexists with depression, anxiety disorders, and other mental problems such as psychoses and aggression attacks, which can deepen feelings of isolation and pose a threat to both the addicted person and their environment.

Social problems

Addicted individuals, as a result of negative behaviors caused by drug effects, may lose support from family and friends, leading to social isolation and difficulties in establishing interpersonal relationships. This in turn can trigger depressive states and increased need for substance use.

Professional difficulties and education

Drug addiction often results in job loss or problems with taking up professional activity, leading to financial problems and lowering of social status. In the case of young people, drugs can cause problems in education.

Crime

People addicted to drugs may be involved in criminal activities such as possession of illegal substances. In extreme cases, they may commit theft or drug trafficking to obtain funds for addiction, which can lead to legal consequences.

Drug addiction treatment is a complex process that requires full commitment and specialist support. At Nasz Gabinet, we believe that everyone has a chance to overcome addiction regardless of the level of addiction advancement or life situation. Our goal is not only to help in curing drug addiction but also to support the Patient in building a healthy and satisfying life after therapy.

Health assessment and diagnosis

The first step in addiction treatment is a thorough assessment of the Patient's health condition and addiction diagnosis. A specialist conducts an interview, evaluates addiction history and current health problems. This allows for the development of an individual therapeutic plan that ensures the best results.

Cleansing the body of drugs

Detoxification is the process of removing the addictive substance from the body.

This is a stage that often involves difficult withdrawal symptoms, which is why it's important to be supervised by qualified personnel.

Psychological therapy

Therapy can take the form of individual, group, or family meetings. Therapists help Patients understand the causes of their addiction, develop abilities to cope with emotions, and introduce healthy habits.

Post-therapy support

It's important for Patients to have access to support groups and therapeutic programs that help cope with daily challenges after treatment completion. Nasz Gabinet Poznan offers follow-up sessions that increase chances of lasting abstinence and minimize relapse risk.

Minnesota Model

The Minnesota Model is one of the most effective addiction treatment methods, especially in the context of alcoholism and drug addiction. Developed in the 1950s in Minnesota, USA, it combines elements of 12-step therapy with a psychological and medical approach. The method treats addiction as a disease, not as a moral problem. It covers physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of addiction. Following the pattern of the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program, it emphasizes the importance of spiritual awakening and community support. The holistic approach of the Minnesota Model and the integration of various forms of support contribute to long-term recovery and maintaining sobriety. It enables Patients to develop healthier relationships and life skills, which is particularly important in the rehabilitation process.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is one of the most commonly used methods for treating addictions, including drug addiction. This form of therapy focuses on identifying and modifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to addiction, and developing healthier coping mechanisms for difficult emotions and stress. CBT helps the Patient recognize specific situations, emotions, or thoughts that trigger the need to use drugs. The person undergoing therapy focuses on recognizing and changing automatic thoughts that lead to destructive actions. Then they learn alternative methods of coping with stress and negative emotions instead of resorting to drugs, as well as strategies for dealing with relapse risk.

Therapeutic community

This method involves creating a closed community of addicted individuals where participants and therapists work together on overcoming addiction. The key goal of the therapeutic community is to support the processes of changing attitudes, norms, and values of the addicted person. The community is based on mutual support between people in similar life situations. Participants work together on problems and share their experiences, which increases their motivation and sense of belonging.
