A Modern Day solution to drug and alcohol addiction.
Proven medications and effective counseling in a non-12 Step, Non-AA, outpatient environment.
Treatment at INS is affordable, practical, local, and effective.
INS uses medical and psychological approaches to treat addictions. This approach includes Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) which research has proven brings about effective and long lasting outcomes.
INS works with persons experiencing dual psychiatric disorders. Dual disorders refer to the presence of both a mood disorder and a substance abuse disorder occurring in the individual at the same time.
It is common for co-occurring conditions to be overlooked when one complains of an addiction. INS staff are trained to identify depression, bipolar depression, anxiety, ADHD, personality disorders, and other psychological conditions to insure a comprehensive treatment plan. Treating the patient's neurobiological system decreases the risk of relapse.
Can Addictions be treated successfully?
INS is guided by Evidence Based Treatments.
Research has shown addiction can be a part of an impulse control disorder associated with the neurobiological pleasure center of the brain. Biological cravings brought on by the pleasure center must be addressed medically and psychologically. INS uses the integrated approach and has seen more robust out-comes in persons experiencing an addiction.
INS uses a treatment team approach involving medical professionals, psychologists, therapists, and advocates addressing issues being experienced by the whole person and not just the component of the addiction.
Detoxification from Heroin, Oxycontin, Vicodin, Percocet, Methadone and other opiates can be safely achieved as an outpatient with new medications such as buprenorphine (Suboxone). All patients are monitored closely by our medical director.
The anti-craving medication, Vivitrol (naltrexone for extended-release injectable suspension), is the first and only once-monthly injectable medication for alcohol dependence, is now available at INS. This medication can offer long term sobriety from alcohol without a daily dose of naltrexone.
