These detriments can occur at any moment, whether it is the first time one is using an inhalant, or whether a person has been abusing it for a long period of time. Because of the intense high that is elicited with the abuse of inhalants, many individuals find it challenging to put a stop to their use without the help of professionals.

Helping a loved one get treatment for inhalant addiction

If you have a family member or a loved one who is abusing inhalants, it is likely that you are suffering from many different emotions as you work towards coming to terms with the danger that your loved one is facing. You know that your loved one’s abuse of inhalants is causing permanent damage and you want them to get help in order to stop these behaviors, however, you might be feeling unsure of what you can do to help. Consider the following:

• Obtain information on the many different kinds of inhalants that are available, the signs and symptoms that the use of them causes, and the potential effects that can develop because of the abuse. Providing yourself with this knowledge can help you better understand what your loved one is experiencing.
• Look into treatment centers that can provide your loved one with the care they need to overcome an inhalant addiction.
• Sit down and talk with your loved one in a non-judgmental manner about the concerns you are having for him or her. Allow your loved one to speak their side, and encourage them to obtain treatment to get help.
• When your loved one accepts treatment, remain a solid source of support for them by engaging in therapy sessions when invited, learning how to support them after treatment is completed, and staying in constant communication.
• Remain vigilant of your own self-care at this time. Giving everything you have to your loved one will cause additional strain in your life, as you are depleting yourself of the everyday things that you need to be an effective source of support.

Our inhalant abuse rehab center includes a 15-bed behavioral health inpatient unit, and a 124-bed behavioral health residential treatment center, both of which are situated on the same campus. Patients who require immediate stabilization due to the presence of psychiatric concerns, or those who are in need of medical detoxification services can receive these interventions at inpatient treatment prior to engaging in our treatment center’s residential care. When patients arrive at our rehab with inhalants in their systems, the first step in their treatment may be to undergo the medical detox services offered at our inpatient program so that their bodies can become rid of the toxic substance. This period of detoxification is monitored by medical personnel in order to ensure that individuals remain safe and as comfortable as possible during the process. Patients will also engage in a number of therapeutic interventions during their time in inpatient treatment. Following detox and completion of treatment at our inpatient unit, patients will then engage in comprehensive treatment at our rehab center’s behavioral health residential treatment center.

Treatment for substance abuse concerns, including the abuse of inhalants, is delivered through our rehab’s Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder Program. Offered within our behavioral health residential treatment center, services supplied in this treatment plan are designed to elicit the most favorable outcomes for all patients. Our reputation as a leading drug addiction rehab center stems from our clinical excellence and the best, compassionate care that we afford to everyone who seeks our services. Our holistic approach to treatment respects the dignity of each individual while offering a therapeutic environment that is fully conducive to healing of the mind, body, and spirit. Treatment focuses on addressing each patient’s presenting problems, as well as underlying issues that exacerbate their struggles. It is our belief that, as patients gain new communication skills and learn to build healthy relationships, they can make sound decisions for a healthy quality of life and form deeper connections with others.

Using a biopsychosocial and spiritual approach to care, patients engaged in the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder treatment plan can partake in the following treatment methods, which are outlined in each patient’s individualized treatment plan, as well as in our inhalant addiction treatment center’s daily treatment schedules:

Medication management: When individuals are struggling with the presence of a co-occurring disorder in addition to their addiction to inhalants, the implementation of psychotropic medications may be incorporated into their overall plan of care at our rehab center. The need for such medications, however, is always determined on a case-by-case basis. Patients who are engaged in the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder Program will have the opportunity to meet with either a psychiatrist or qualified physician at a minimum of once per week so that any medications that have been prescribed can be monitored for therapeutic effectiveness and any necessary changes can be made.

Individual therapy: Master’s level clinicians and/or licensed psychologists at our treatment center offer individual therapy sessions with patients several times per week depending on the treatment modality that is being used. All patients are guaranteed, however, that a minimum of one individual session will take place each week. Each patient’s therapist will be assigned to them depending on the identified presenting concerns, the therapeutic approach that will be used in order to effectively address those concerns, and the specific training that the therapist possesses. These sessions occur in a confidential, one-to-one setting where the patient is afforded the opportunity to discuss their progress in treatment, address any concerns that may arise, and process various feelings they are experiencing.

Group therapy: At the time that patients are admitted into the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder treatment plan at our inhalant abuse rehab center, they are assigned to a small group of peers, all of whom are engaged in the same treatment. This group will meet together for therapy sessions four times per week. In addition to serving as a general process group, topics that are covered during these group sessions may include, but are not limited to:

• Working through grief and loss
• Didactic lectures
• Relapse prevention
• Healing anxiety
• Anger management
• Identifying feelings of shame in order to move to a place of resilience

Therapeutic Recreational Activities: In order to help patients at our treatment center build a stronger sense of self and increased confidence as they overcome their inhalant abuse problem, this treatment offers patients a myriad of therapeutic activities, which are conducted daily or on a weekly basis. A patient’s participation in such activities will be outlined in their treatment plan and may include the following:

• Equine therapy
• Expressive art
• Adventure therapy (including a ropes course and rock wall)
• Psychodrama

Additional services: In order to fully care for the needs of those who are working through an addiction to inhalants and any co-occurring conditions, our treatment center is proud to offer a number of additional services through an innovative approach to treatment. Special time is set aside for selected individual appointments which will be outlined in one’s treatment plan in order to address individualized needs.

Each day will end on a positive note by allowing patients to gather together and reflect through a Gifts and Blessings Ceremony.

Should a patient require stabilization services while engaged in our rehab’s residential treatment center, they are able to partake in the services supplied by our Behavioral Health Inpatient Unit before returning to residential treatment. The staff of professionals conducts an ongoing assessment of each patient’s progress and needs and offers assistance in making this transition smooth so as to continue the process of healing with as little disruption as possible.

Continuing care and levels of treatment for inhalant addiction

As a premier rehab center for inhalant abuse, Sierra Tucson’s method for providing all-encompassing care for every patient who comes for treatment includes thorough discharge planning and continuing care services that are second-to-none. Once a patient engages in services to treat an inhalant addiction and co-occurring concerns at our treatment center, a comprehensive continued care plan is devised so that they can remain successful once treatment is complete. Those partaking in the services meet with continued care staff to assess each individual’s needs and plan for discharge. Those engaged in the residential treatment center at our rehab meet with the same continued care staff and regional outreach specialists and partake in lectures and one-on-one planning sessions to ensure quality referrals and to establish any follow-up appointments that may be required once they have been discharged.

Furthermore, patients exiting the residential treatment center, along with their family members, can benefit from The Connections Program. This treatment plan includes 12-month-long case management services that are in place to offer ongoing and substantial support to former patients. A representative from this treatment plan contacts patients 48 hours after they are discharged and is available to assist these individuals in seeking and receiving the additional services they need in order to remain successful in the process of healing and recovery.

Lastly, former patients can take part in the Alumni Services affiliated with our treatment center. These services include groups offered through outpatient centers, which are located across the United States.
