Conditions and Issues Treated

A detailed list of the primary issues commonly treated.

  • Alcoholism

    Alcoholism is one of the most common addictions in San Diego, California. Alcohol addiction (often referred to as alcoholism or alcohol use disorder) is characterized by a deep craving for alcohol and the inability to quit drinking regardless of any adverse effects. Alcohol use disorder ensues when the chemical changes from long-term alcohol use drive the brain to acclimate to normal functions creating a dependency. Many people who struggle with alcoholism find it challenging to quit without the help of a treatment facility such as ARMT Medical Specialists. The alcoholism treatment at ARMT Medical Specialists in San Diego, San Diego, California is designed to give you the support you need to quit drinking once and for all.

  • Drug Addiction

    Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by a physical and psychological dependency on drugs. Drug addiction occurs when extensive drug use causes changes in a person’s brain chemistry, resulting in uncontrollable cravings to use regardless of the adverse effects. The only way to overcome drug addiction or other addiction disorders is to receive addiction treatment. ARMT Medical Specialists in San Diego, California offers many treatment options for those struggling with drug addiction. If you or someone you love is struggling with drug addiction, get help as soon as possible. Prolonged drug use can result in a destructive addiction cycle where you must continue using drugs to avoid distressing withdrawal symptoms. Regardless of your situation, help is available in San Diego, California.

  • Opioid Addiction

    Opioids/opiates are among the most addictive substances worldwide. Prescribed for various medical needs, opioids encompass a large class of prescription drugs such as morphine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone, and illegal substances such as heroin and opium. People who misuse opioids can develop an opioid addiction very quickly. Opioid addiction, also known as an opioid use disorder, is a condition in which someone compulsively seeks the drug. In San Diego, San Diego, California, there are many treatment options to choose from for an opioid/opiate addiction. The most effective form of opioid addiction treatment is drug detox, followed by inpatient drug rehab. ARMT Medical Specialists in San Diego, San Diego, California offers opioid addiction treatment tailored to your unique needs and situation.

  • Substance Abuse

    Substance abuse refers to the act of misusing drugs or alcohol. Substance abuse problems can refer to illicit drugs — such as heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamine — or legal drugs, such as alcohol or prescription medications. Substances frequently abused in San Diego, San Diego, California include alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs, methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates/opioids, hallucinogens, and more. The main difference between substance abuse and drug addiction is that individuals with substance abuse problems can quit or change their unhealthy habits. In contrast, addiction is a disease in which someone can’t just stop using when their addiction causes them harm. People engaged in substance abuse put themselves at risk for developing a substance use disorder, a severe mental health condition that can make it difficult for people to stop using drugs or alcohol on their own. ARMT Medical Specialists in San Diego, San Diego, California works to address substance abuse and help people to build fulfilling lives in recovery.

  • Aftercare

    Aftercare programs help people stay on track after they finish addiction treatment. Think of going to treatment as the first big step towards getting better. Usually, this treatment lasts for a short time, from 30 to 180 days. But recovery takes much longer.

  • Drug Detox

    At ARMT Medical Specialists, the first thing you'll do to overcome drug or alcohol addiction is go through a supervised drug detox.

This is all part of the detox, to help you get through it with less discomfort.

  • Dual Diagnosis Treatment

    In San Diego, California, there are good options for treating people with dual diagnoses. A dual diagnosis means someone has two problems at the same time, like being addicted to drugs and also feeling very depressed. It's usually better to treat both problems together, not one by one. At ARMT Medical Specialists in San Diego, California, trained experts help people with dual diagnoses get better by looking at their whole health, not just one issue. This way, they can heal completely and get back to feeling good.

  • Inpatient Drug Rehab

    Inpatient drug rehab is the most intense kind of help you can get for addiction. It's like a live-in program at ARMT Medical Specialists where you stay at a place without drugs in San Diego, California. Here, you get help day and night from experts who know a lot about addiction. If you're dealing with addiction and also have another mental health issue, this kind of rehab is a really good choice.

Therapies, Programs & Treatment Approaches

A detailed list of the methods used to care for each individual.

  • 12-Step Facilitation

    At ARMT Medical Specialists, we help people stop using drugs and alcohol by guiding them through a 12-step program. This program is a kind of help called 12-step facilitation therapy. It's a way to change behavior by encouraging people to join and stay active in the program. The idea is that addiction is a long-term sickness that affects a person's body, mind, and spirit. By following the 12 steps, someone can deal with all these parts of the illness.

    In San Diego, California, joining a 12-step program means you get to meet others who are also working hard to stay away from drugs and alcohol. Together, everyone supports each other to stay on the path to staying sober. At ARMT Medical Specialists, we believe this support is an important part of getting better.

  • Anger Management

    When you let anger go unchecked, it can affect every part of your life. You might find yourself having sudden outbursts, acting in ways that don't make sense, or even feeling violent or very sad. Some people even think about hurting themselves. But there’s good news: there are ways to get help with managing anger. You can talk to mental health experts who know a lot about this, and they can work with you either while you stay at a place for treatment or while you live at home and just go for visits. If anger is a big problem for you, finding the right kind of help and learning how to handle it better can really turn things around.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT for short, is a kind of therapy that shows people the link between what they think and what they do. When someone goes through CBT, they get better at spotting thoughts that aren't helpful and learning to change them. By changing the way they think, they can make their relationships with others better and are less likely to turn to unhealthy habits.

  • Contingency Management/Motivational Incentives

    Contingency management, sometimes called motivational incentives or the prize method, is a way to help people in addiction treatment by giving them real rewards when they stay away from drugs (like when they pass a drug test). It's about getting a prize when you reach a goal in treatment. ARMT Medical Specialists in San Diego, California uses this approach to help people feel good about reaching their goals.

  • Health Education Services Other Than HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis

    At ARMT Medical Specialists in San Diego, California, we provide addiction treatment services that include health education. This is to make sure that everyone gets a complete treatment experience with the right mix of support and learning about health.

  • Individual Counseling

  • Interventions

The plan is to help the person see how their addiction is not only hurting them but also the people they care about.

    A professional who knows how to help with these situations guides everyone through the process. Together, they choose a comfortable spot where they can talk to the person struggling with addiction. During this talk, everyone shares how they feel and shows their worry about the person's fight with drugs or alcohol.

    The main aim is to get the person to understand that their addiction is causing a lot of harm. It's important for them to agree to get help from experts who can support them in getting better.

  • Matrix Model

    The Matrix Model is a way to help people who have a hard time stopping the use of drugs that give them a lot of energy, like certain illegal drugs. This method brings together different kinds of help that have been shown to work well. It was one of the first plans made to help people get better without having to stay in a treatment center. Many drug treatment centers in San Diego, California use the Matrix Model.

This combination helps those dealing with drug or alcohol problems to feel more sure of themselves as they work to get better.

  • Relapse Prevention

    Going back to using drugs or alcohol after you've finished treatment for addiction is called a relapse. Many people who are working to overcome addictions might relapse at some time. If this happens, it doesn't mean you've failed. It just means you might need more help to stay on the path to staying clean for your whole life. Here at ARMT Medical Specialists in San Diego, California, we have relapse prevention therapy. This will teach you about why relapse happens, what makes you want to use again, and how to keep it from happening.
