What Does Comprehensive Addiction Care Entail

Bear Creek is a comprehensive drug and alcohol treatment center in Montana that provides a variety of programs to help people get on the path to sobriety. Set in the beautiful mountains of Montana, our facility provides patients with the serenity they need to re-examine their lives and make positive choices that will allow them to live healthy and successful lives.

We provide patients with the following programs:

  • Alcohol/Drug Detox
  • Alcohol/Drug Rehab
  • Residential Treatment Programs
  • Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Each program is staffed with Bear Creek team members with the expertise to provide top-quality care in our beautiful surroundings.

Alcohol/Drug Detox

Many patients need to undergo the detox process before beginning a treatment program for substance use. This is necessary to strip the body of any drugs and alcohol that may be in the system.

At Bear Creek, we help our clients detox from many different substances. These include:

  • Alcohol
  • Opioids
  • Benzodiazepines
  • Stimulants

While beneficial, the detox process can become dangerous due to withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms can include:

  • Fatigue
  • Upset stomach
  • Sweating
  • Fever
  • Anxiety
  • Depression

This is why it’s best to undergo the process with professionals on hand. At Bear Creek, we provide a safe and supervised environment for drug and alcohol detox in the peaceful mountains of Montana.

When someone enters an alcohol or drug detox program, the length of their stay can depend on several factors, such as the type of drug that was used, as well as how much and how often the drug was used. Typically, detox lasts one to two weeks when it is done in a professional setting. Undergoing detox in a professional setting is beneficial because withdrawal symptoms can be monitored and dealt with accordingly.

Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Montana

As an addiction treatment center in Montana, we provide patients with alcohol and drug rehab programs that will help them get sober. Each program is tailored to the individual so that they get the help they need.

For many patients, therapy is a large part of the treatment plan. Many different types of therapy include:

  • Group therapy
  • Individual therapy
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy
  • Dialectical behavior therapy
  • Relapse prevention training

Patients may undergo one or several different types of therapy as their treatment plan progresses. Many people can benefit from a variety of therapies to help them on their path to sobriety.

During an alcohol and drug rehab stay, patients also learn valuable coping skills that they can use once they leave the facility. This can help to prevent relapse.

Residential Treatment

A residential treatment program is best suited for people who need a structured setting for their recovery. These programs require people to leave their homes and work to fully commit to the recovery process. Many people need this type of structure to succeed in their treatment program because trying to do it on their own or as an outpatient is too difficult. This program can be highly beneficial for those who can commit.

Residential treatment programs are also beneficial for people who require medication as part of their treatment. Medication often needs to be monitored, and that is best done in a residential setting where medical professionals can supervise the process.

When patients call Bear Creek home during their stay, they take advantage of fresh air and open spaces that can help them heal physically and emotionally. Our surroundings also provide the perfect environment for yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises to help recover. These activities can help the mind and body to de-stress so that patients can focus on their recovery and living a sober life.

Dual Diagnosis

Dual diagnosis treatment is for people who have mental health issues alongside drug and alcohol problems. Statistics show that nearly half of people with a substance use disorder also have a mental health issue.

Many people with mental issues and substance use disorders experience:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Panic disorders
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Eating disorder

It is essential to address both issues simultaneously, no matter which one appears first. Ignoring one problem and not treating them simultaneously will not allow someone to heal completely.
