Residential Inpatient

Struggling with addiction means you are often painfully aware of the negative consequences of your actions, but you can’t stop because of the overwhelming cravings. The cravings you get from drug addiction are impulsive urges tied directly to dopamine. These sudden, primitive urges differ from thoughtful, long-term goals like wanting to graduate with a degree or remodel your kitchen. This kind of craving is sometimes referred to as incentive salient cravings. Repeated use of addictive drugs or alcohol means your brain’s dopamine system becomes sensitized, so it’s easier to activate, and that system produces more intense cravings that eventually cannot be ignored. The first few times you try drugs or alcohol, you might feel a slight urge to do it again, but you can resist it. But repeated use means your cravings get stronger until you cannot stop yourself. When you reach this point, it can seem impossible to return to the way things were, but an inpatient substance-abuse treatment program can give you the skills to restore your brain function, regain control, and avoid a relapse.
