At Addiction Rehab Centers, we embrace a unique approach to rehabilitation that focuses on addressing the root causes of addiction, rather than merely its symptoms. Recognizing that addictive behaviors and substance abuse often stem from deeper, unresolved issues such as trauma, abuse, and emotional distress, our treatment philosophy centers on unraveling these underlying factors. We firmly believe that recovery should not be commodified, which is why we advocate for a treatment model that transcends the conventional Twelve Steps. Our goal is to delve into the complexities of each individual's journey, uncovering the reasons behind their addiction to help them avoid the trap of emotional avoidance. At ARC, we offer a transformative experience—"A Different Way To Treat People"—tailored to foster profound healing and lasting change.

We can provide referrals for primary care providers and outpatient programs, such as intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) and partial hospitalization programs (PHPs).

Addiction Rehab Centers is a different way to treat people. We treat the problem (underlying core issues, abuse, trauma etc.) not the solution (the addictive behavior or substance). We believe that individuals should not pay for Twelve Steps; thus, the purpose of treatment is to provide in-depth analysis of why an individual continues addictive behavior. Often this answer lies in an avoidance of emotional pain. ARC, "A DIFFERENT WAY TO TREAT PEOPLE"

Medical detoxification from alcohol or substances is necessary because when it comes to addiction, your brain and body are not always in sync. Your brain may be focused on recovery and doing everything to get sober. However, your body may not be ready because it is still under the influence of drugs or alcohol and you are physiologically addicted. This means that your body cannot function properly without getting the alcohol or substances that you have been using for some period of time. Detox is the process of safely bringing the body up to speed so that recovery can be accomplished with minimal risk to your health.

How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.
How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.
Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
