National Addictions Awareness Week seeks to highlight solutions and address the harms related to drug and alcohol use. Here are some of the more common myths about addiction.??At Lifeskills we offer a comprehensive approach to treatment including the client and family system. We recognize the challenges involved in getting you or a loved one help. Our skilled Admissions Team will guide you through the process and provide recommendations as needed. ? Myth 1: Friends and family members cannot make addicts get help if they do not want it. ?? Fact 1: Addiction is a family disease that disrupts family dynamics thus a strong support system of family and friends is crucial for recovery.? More often than not, without the intervention of loved ones, someone in the throes of addiction will not voluntarily seek help. They do not have to “hit rock bottom” which could be deadly! ? Myth 2: Relapse means treatment did not work. ?? Fact 2: Research shows the 90 days post-treatment are when relapse is most common. Instead of seeing it as failure, it can be viewed as an indication their treatment plan needs adjustment. Did they follow their aftercare plan? This could mean adding more 12-step meetings, working more closely with a sponsor and sober social support systems, recognizing triggers to avoid, increasing self-care like exercise or yoga, identifying the need for additional therapy or programming such as a Partial-Hospitalization (PHP) or Intensive Out-Patient (IOP).? ? Myth 3: Maintaining a job and family life means addiction is not a problem. ?? Fact 3: Those with addiction often rationalize and experience denial, believing that keeping a job, maintaining interpersonal relationships, or parental duties means they are "functioning." This belief can minimize the seriousness of their illness and prevent them from seeking the help they need.? A “functioning” addict is still an addict and may require pressure to get the help they need. If you or someone you know is struggling, contact our admissions team at 954-212-9708. We are here for you. You are NOT alone.?? Learn more here: https://hubs.li/Q02ZnV320 #mentalhealth #lifeskillssouthflorida #addictionawareness

关于我们
WHO WE ARE For over 30 years, Lifeskills has provided customized, evidence-based mental health treatment and is recognized as a national center of clinical excellence. Lifeskills is dually licensed to treat complex psychiatric, substance use, and process addiction disorders for adults and their families. LEVELS OF CARE Residential Locations: Ft. Lauderdale: In this closely structured and supportive therapeutic environment with 24/7 nursing support, we provide a non-traditional residential program with detox services for higher acuity clients as a stepping-stone to a more traditional residential setting. Deerfield Beach: In our residential treatment, clients live in fully furnished and professionally staffed townhomes, allowing them to adapt their new coping skills and practice their daily routines during treatment. Outpatient - Delray Beach: Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP) allow clients to expand their independent living skills while increasing their responsibilities. Transitional Housing - Osceola House, Delray Beach: A FARR-accredited and Level II transitional living community, Osceola House residences allow individuals to step down to semi-independent living while attending our outpatient programming. Family Programming: When a loved one is suffering from a mental illness or an addiction, family members can find themselves at a loss for direction and overwhelmed with making decisions or finding the right kind of help. We help families find guidance, hope, and peace through a program model that complements recommended ancillary support and provides a comprehensive family recovery program that includes our Family Alliance, Family Weekend (virtual), and Family Therapy components.
