Addiction

Addiction is a chronic, treatable health condition that affects the brain’s reward system, decision-making, and stress response. It can involve alcohol, opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, marijuana, or other substances, and it often co-occurs with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health concerns.

In this category, The Heights Treatment shares evidence-informed education on addiction symptoms, withdrawal and relapse risk factors, treatment options (including PHP and IOP), family support, and recovery planning. Our goal is to help individuals and families understand what’s happening, what effective care looks like, and how to take the next step with clarity and compassion.

If you are worried about your own use or a loved one’s safety, you do not have to navigate it alone. Contact our team to talk through options and next steps: Contact Us Today
