An addiction to drugs or alcohol can result in a wide variety of external issues, including codependency. At Liberty Bay Recovery in Portland, Maine, we can provide you with effective treatment for addiction as well as help from our codependency treatment center.
We are able to prescribe and refill medication for anxiety and depression. However, for other mental health concerns, we refer out. Certainly, more severe mental health concerns may arise after you have some time clean and sober. If these traits emerge or went undisclosed during admission, we do our best to find outside psychiatric help while you receive treatment.
Codependency is a behavioral, psychological, and emotional issue that can begin to develop for a wide variety of reasons. When an individual becomes codependent, they will not be able to form a sense of personal identity outside of the situation. This is actually a relatively new concept in the fields of psychology and substance abuse treatment. Codependency was first identified and the first codependency rehab treated this condition just over 10 years ago.
While no two addictions or relationships are identical, there are a number of common characteristics for those that are codependent. The individual that is closest to the addict may feel a sense of overwhelming personal responsibility for their loved one. Eventually, this responsibility grows to the point that it negatively impacts their life. They will often feel an extreme need for approval from the addict. Additionally, they may double down by investing more and more into the relationship. In many cases, they will begin justifying the addiction itself, which only heightens their inner turmoil. A codependent might not confront the addiction because of past trauma. Additionally, they may still believe that the addict is still functioning on some level.
Codependency is not just dangerous for the addict, but it will also be damaging for their loved ones. The codependent will often begin to lose their own sense of self which might require treatment on its own. This is one of the reasons that addictions and codependency must be treated at the same time. If only one of the problems is treated, then there will almost never be long-term results. After transitioning back into their daily life, addicts may quickly find themselves in stressful situations. They may experience many of the same triggers that caused them to abuse drugs or alcohol in the first place.
Rather than trying to treat codependency on your own, rehab provides everyone in the relationship with access to therapy, psychiatric care, and mental health counseling. At Liberty Bay Recovery, we can assess your needs and provide codependency treatment and addiction treatment at our rehab center in Portland, Maine.
Continuing to struggle with substance abuse will not only hurt the addict. This struggle also negatively impacts all those around them. When left untreated, addicts will face mounting problems with their health, relationships, finances, and career. A codependency treatment center helps you identify these issues and provides evidence-based therapies that help each person work on long-term coping skills and resources.
We can provide insurance verification to help you understand how your benefits provide for treatment. We accept many major insurance plans, including United Medical Resources (UMR), Cigna, Humana, Aetna, ValueOptions, United Health Care, Providence Health Plans, Government Employee Health Association), (GEHA), state insurance, or Harvard Program HealthCare. Additionally, we also provide numerous self-pay options that are reasonably priced.
If you feel as if your relationship has transitioned into codependency or you are struggling with an addiction to drugs or alcohol, there is help out there. Liberty Bay Recovery’s codependency treatment center takes a comprehensive look at addicts in order to not only treat the side effects of substance abuse but to also treat the root causes of the addiction. Anyone that is ready for long-term results should contact Liberty Bay Recovery in Portland, Maine at (855) 607-8758 and take that first step toward a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life.
