Question 3

How does alcohol detox work?

Alcohol detox at Van Dyke Addiction Treatment Center involves medically supervised withdrawal management. Because alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous—including risks of seizures and delirium tremens—our medical team monitors vital signs 24/7 and may use medications like benzodiazepines to prevent complications. Detox typically lasts 5-7 days, though symptoms peak around days 2-3. After detox, you'll transition into our treatment program where you'll learn coping skills and relapse prevention strategies. Call +1 (855) 643-5408 to discuss your situation and determine if medical detox is recommended for you.

Question 4

How does the 12-step program work?

Accepted Answer

The 12-step program is a peer support approach to recovery originally developed by Alcoholics Anonymous. It involves: admitting powerlessness over addiction, believing in a higher power (broadly defined), taking a moral inventory, making amends, and helping others in recovery. At Van Dyke Addiction Treatment Center, we incorporate 12-step principles while respecting that this approach works differently for everyone. You'll attend meetings, potentially work with a sponsor, and connect with a recovery community. Research shows 12-step participation significantly improves long-term sobriety rates, especially when combined with professional treatment.

Question 5

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

Accepted Answer

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapy that helps you identify and change negative thought patterns driving addictive behavior. At Van Dyke Addiction Treatment Center, our trained therapists teach you to: recognize triggers and high-risk situations, challenge distorted thinking (like "I need drugs to cope"), develop healthy coping strategies, and build skills for managing cravings. CBT is typically provided in both individual and group settings. Research shows CBT is highly effective for addiction treatment, with benefits that last long after treatment ends because you learn skills you can use forever.

Question 6

Are there state-funded treatment options in New York?

Accepted Answer

Yes, New York State funds addiction treatment for those who can't afford care. OASAS (Office of Addiction Services and Supports) provides grants for treatment facilities to serve uninsured or underinsured individuals. Eligibility typically requires New York residency and financial need. Wait times vary, but options exist. Van Dyke Addiction Treatment Center can help you understand your options and navigate the system. Call +1 (855) 643-5408 to discuss state-funded programs and whether you might qualify—help is available regardless of your financial situation.

Question 7

How do I prepare for my loved one's return from treatment?

Accepted Answer

Preparing for their return is crucial for sustained recovery. Before they come home: remove all alcohol and substances from the house, adjust family routines to support recovery, identify potential triggers in the home environment, and have a plan for family meetings or therapy. At Van Dyke Addiction Treatment Center, we involve families in discharge planning to prepare everyone. Understand that recovery continues after treatment—they'll need ongoing support, meetings, and possibly outpatient care. Set realistic expectations: recovery is a process, not an event. Family therapy can help everyone adjust to the new dynamics.

Question 8

What is your treatment success rate?

Accepted Answer

Success rates in addiction treatment are complex to measure. Unlike medical procedures with clear endpoints, recovery is ongoing and defined differently by different people. Factors affecting outcomes include: individual engagement, length of stay, aftercare participation, co-occurring conditions, and support system strength. What we can say: evidence-based treatment like what Van Dyke Addiction Treatment Center provides significantly improves outcomes compared to no treatment. Many people achieve lasting recovery—millions are living proof. Rather than focusing on statistics, focus on committing fully to your own recovery. Your success depends largely on you.

Question 9

How is treatment different for adolescents?

Accepted Answer

Adolescent addiction requires specialized approaches different from adult treatment. Teen programs address: developmental needs unique to teenagers, family dynamics and involvement, school coordination and academic support, peer pressure and social situations, co-occurring mental health issues (common in teens), and building healthy coping skills for the future. Underlying issues like trauma, depression, ADHD, or family problems often accompany teen substance use. Treatment includes individual therapy, family involvement, peer groups, and life skills. Early intervention gives young people the best chance at a healthy future.

Question 10

I have chronic pain. Can I still get addiction treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, addiction treatment is possible—and important—for people with chronic pain. Many people develop opioid addiction after being prescribed painkillers for legitimate pain. At Van Dyke Addiction Treatment Center, we address both issues: treating addiction while developing non-opioid pain management strategies. This might include: non-addictive medications, physical therapy, mindfulness techniques, and treating underlying conditions. Pain management without opioids is possible for most people. Our medical team understands chronic pain and won't dismiss your suffering. Recovery from addiction often improves pain perception as well. Call +1 (855) 643-5408 to discuss your specific situation.
