Lake Wellness Center

It can be overwhelming for someone to deal with the negative effects of addiction. When an individual admits they have a problem, and then seeks help, how should they determine the best treatment program? The first thing to recognize is that drug and alcohol abuse physically alter the functioning of the brain. These changes to the brain do not reverse when someone stops using drugs or alcohol. This is why relapse is a likely scenario for many people.

Effective treatment programs will acknowledge this fact up front and be honest that the process is going to be long and difficult. Another hallmark of an effective treatment program is varied approaches to the treatment plan. The appropriate setting, interventions and services should be tailor-made for everyone who enters the facility. Lake Wellness Center professionals take great pride in offering a personalized approach for each patient. The personalized approach gives patients a greater chance of returning to a productive home and work life.

Effective addiction treatment plans will also focus on more than just the drug or alcohol abuse. There can be legal problems that have been incurred, and there are likely to be some mental health problems. Treatment programs need to address all of these aspects so that patients can return to a regular life whole rather than having only a few aspects of their addiction treated. Age, gender, ethnicity and culture should all be considered when forming a treatment program. The Lake Way follows a philosophy that attends to all patient needs so they can return to a productive and happy life.
