We have a strong relationship with several local inpatient rehab facilities of differing styles. This is often the best and most successful method of stopping an addictive substance because the distractions of the real world may be neglected while you are in a rehab facility. You can focus only on your addiction as well as the stressors, contributors, triggers that make it so difficult to overcome on your own. The best rehab centers will make such therapy a prime goal, but will often place this into a context of a luxurious environment. They will often have an emphasis on good nutrition, consistent exercise and coping skills for the stresses of 21st century life. We can meet with you and discuss your goals, facilitate your admission as well as coordinate your discharge at the end to make sure that any medications, therapy and goals you have are continued as you reenter your life as a sober participant. Even if this has not worked for you in the past, there are differences in facilities and often even in the state of your own mind. Simply changing perspective can often be the key to getting more out of your rehab experience, so do not discount the value.  Research has shown this to be the most effective way to get off of drugs or alcohol. And research has also shown that, on average, it takes someone 8 times to completely quit their addictive substances. So do not feel intimidated or discouraged if you have relapsed after a prior treatment. We can help you find your way back.

Substance Abuse Treatment

Whether you recognize your pattern of substance abuse or not, or whether you are using it to self-treat your depression or are merely contributing to it, we at Encinitas Family Care want to help you overcome your dependence.  Perhaps you got addicted to prescription pain medications because of a terrible accident or because of watching friends or relatives do the same.  We understand that the influences are strong and need great attention, especially if you still have very REAL pain to deal with.  We can help you with explore other options that have less addictive potential, and help you get back to the activities you enjoy.  Admit to yourself that you need some help, realize that you are worth helping, and allow us to work with you toward recovery.

Our services include counseling, continued follow up, treatment of withdrawal symptoms, and medications if needed and desired by you.  Medications are not necessary to receive assistance in recovering from addiction under our care, we simply offer them as a complement to our advice and encouragement.  Dr. Sexton is Board Certified in Addiction Medicine, and has vast experience helping patients overcome their addictions in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
