Our Unique Approach to Addiction Recovery

Addiction is a complicated and multifaceted condition that affects not only the body but also the mind and spirit. It can take many forms, from substance use disorders involving drugs and alcohol to behavioral addictions, and its impact is felt by individuals and their families. At Abhaya Wellness, we recognize that addiction is not a moral failing but a treatable disease that often stems from a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors, including trauma. Understanding the nature of your addiction is the first step toward recovery. It often involves cycles of compulsion, loss of control, and negative consequences, despite a deep desire to stop. However, with the right support, you can break free from its grip. Our team in Durham is dedicated to helping you understand the root causes of your addiction, providing the tools and strategies needed to heal, and supporting you in creating a path to a fearless, fulfilling life in sobriety.

Drug Addiction

Whether it’s prescription medications or other drugs, including prescription medications, addiction can take a toll on both body and mind. Our treatment focuses on helping you overcome drug dependence, restore balance, and rebuild your life with a strong foundation in recovery.

Dual Diagnosis/Co-Occurring Disorders

We understand that addiction often co-occurs with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and trauma. Our integrated treatment plans address both the substance use and the underlying mental health challenges simultaneously, which is essential for sustainable recovery.

Signs and Symptoms of Addiction

Recognizing the signs of addiction is the first step toward seeking help. While addiction affects everyone differently, common signs include:

  • Changes in Behavior: Exhibiting mood swings, irritability, or loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. Social withdrawal or a sudden shift in friend groups can also be indicators.
  • Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritizing substance use over work, school, or family obligations and commitments.
  • Physical Changes: Unexplained weight changes, poor hygiene, or a decline in physical appearance. Frequent illness or changes in sleep patterns may also occur.
  • Increased Tolerance: Needing larger amounts of a substance to achieve the same effect, which is a clear indicator of physical dependency.
  • Risky Behavior: Engaging in dangerous activities, such as driving under the influence, that you wouldn’t do when sober.
  • Cravings and Withdrawal: Experiencing a strong desire to use the substance, along with physical or emotional symptoms like sweating, shaking, nausea, or anxiety when you try to stop.
  • Inability to Cut Back: Finding yourself unable to stop or reduce your substance use, despite repeated attempts and a genuine desire to do so.

If you or a loved one are experiencing these signs, it is time to reach out. At Abhaya Wellness, we provide compassionate, personalized care to help you overcome addiction and build a healthier life.

Our mindfulness-oriented eclectic approach helps address the underlying emotional and psychological factors of addiction, providing you with the tools to heal and rebuild your life.

  • Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP): A cornerstone of our programs, MBRP teaches you to observe cravings, thoughts, and emotions without judgment, empowering you to manage triggers and reduce the risk of relapse.
