Drug Addiction

Drug addiction, or Substance Use Disorder (SUD), is a complex condition that affects not only an individual’s physical health but also their emotional well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. Substance use can start as experimentation or prescribed medication use but may escalate into dependence and addiction.


At Collective Care, we understand that every person’s journey with substance use is unique. Our specialized treatment programs are designed to address the root causes of addiction, equip individuals with effective coping strategies, and support long-term recovery in a compassionate, non-judgmental environment.

Recognizing the Signs of Drug Addiction

Increased Tolerance: Needing higher doses to achieve the same effect.

Loss of Control: Being unable to stop or reduce use despite wanting to.

Withdrawal Symptoms: Experiencing physical or emotional distress (nausea, tremors, anxiety, insomnia) when not using the substance.

Substance use disorder can develop gradually, making it difficult to recognize when professional help is needed. Common signs of addiction include:

Neglecting Responsibilities: Work, family, and personal obligations take a backseat to substance use.

Secrecy & Isolation: Hiding drug use, avoiding social interactions, or withdrawing from loved ones.

Risk-Taking Behaviors: Engaging in unsafe activities, such as driving under the influence or sharing needles.

Early recognition of these signs can lead to timely intervention and better treatment outcomes.

Preoccupation with Drugs: Spending excessive time obtaining, using, or recovering from substance use.

Effective Treatment for Drug Addiction

At Collective Care, we provide a structured, evidence-based approach to overcoming addiction. Our treatment programs include:

MEDICALLY SUPERVISED DETOX

Detox is often the first step in recovery, allowing the body to safely withdraw from substances while managing discomfort and cravings under medical supervision.

Medically Supervised Detox

THERAPY AND COUNSELLING

Therapy and Counselling

We address the underlying causes of addiction through:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Identifying and changing negative thought patterns.

​

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Teaching emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

​

Motivational Interviewing (MI): Strengthening an individual’s motivation to stay sober.

​

Trauma-Informed Therapy: Helping clients process past traumas that contribute to substance use.

MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT)

For opioid and alcohol use disorders, FDA-approved medications can help reduce cravings and prevent relapse when combined with therapy.

Medication Assisted Treatment

FAMILY INVOLVEMENT AND SUPPPORT

Addiction affects entire families. Our programs include education, counseling, and support for loved ones to rebuild trust and foster healthier relationships.
