Addiction Disorder Treatment

Services Provided for Addiction Disorder Treatment

At Delhi Mind Clinic, we offer a range of comprehensive services for the treatment of addiction disorders. Our treatments are designed to address both the psychological and physical aspects of addiction, with the goal of helping individuals achieve lasting recovery and wellness.

1. Assessment

Accurate assessment is essential for effective addiction treatment. We use several psychological tools to evaluate the severity of addiction and associated conditions. These include:

• Addiction Severity Index (ASI): A comprehensive tool to assess the severity of addiction in various domains like medical, legal, and psychological.
• Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI): A structured interview to diagnose addiction-related psychiatric disorders.
• Alcohol Use Disorders and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule (AUDADIS): A specialized interview schedule used to assess alcohol-related disorders.
• Personality Testing: Tests used to assess personality traits that may affect the treatment and recovery process.

2. Treatment by Medication for Addiction Disorder

Medication is a crucial part of the treatment process, particularly during the detoxification and deaddiction phases. It helps manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings, supporting the individual’s journey toward recovery. The details of medication use include:

• Medications are utilized during both the detox and deaddiction phases of treatment to manage symptoms and reduce cravings.
• Medications help adjust the brain’s chemical balance, promoting smoother recovery.
• In the early phases, antidepressants and sedatives (like benzodiazepines) may be used to control symptoms more quickly.
• The duration of medication use is personalized, depending on factors like the duration of addiction, genetic predispositions, and the presence of co-occurring mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The treatment plan is tailored by the doctor.
• Never stop taking medication without consulting your doctor, as abrupt discontinuation may cause complications.

3. Treatment by Counseling/Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is an integral part of addiction disorder treatment. At Delhi Mind Clinic, we offer a variety of therapy types, customized to suit each patient’s unique needs and symptoms. These therapies include:
