Polysubstance Abuse Detox

Polysubstance dependence refers to a pattern of drug use in which an individual concurrently abuses multiple types of substances. This type of substance abuse can result in serious physical and mental health consequences, including increased risk of overdose, damage to major organs
such as the liver, kidneys, heart, and impairment of cognitive function, mood disorders, other mental health conditions and premature death.

Polysubstance Abuse Facts

250 Americans lose their lives everyday to substance abuse disorders and 50% of substance abuse disorder deaths involved multiple drugs and/or alcohol.

Believe it or not, many people fail to remain sober after drug and alcohol treatment. In most cases, they haven’t reached out for the proper support before being overcome by obsessive substance thoughts, pre-relapse dissociation, overwhelm, shutdown and over-stimulation by triggers. In fact, 85% of individuals with polystance abuse disorder relapse within a year of treatment, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Moreover, two-thirds of individuals return to drug use within weeks of beginning addiction treatment.

During treatment at Grata House, you will have top notch around-the-clock care. Our industry leading treatment modalities and such as NARMA™ will prepare you for life after inpatient residential treatment.

Support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and Smart Recovery can provide emotional support at the community-based group level and help individuals stay sober in the long-term with social supports and positive affirming connections.
