Crack is often the butt of jokes and rarely the focus of serious conversation. Unfortunately, the problem of crack addiction has crept out from the shadows of the seedier parts of town and into suburban high schools. It's a quick, cheap fix that starts out as a divertissement when there's nothing else to do and then turns into an addiction all its own.
Crack doesn't really get you high, not in the sense that other drugs do. What it does is change the way you think and narrow your focus to include nothing but the drug itself. Smoking crack just makes you want to smoke more crack. But don't be fooled by the lack of euphoria-crack is just as addictive as any other drug and more psychologically addictive than most. Crack rehab is the only way to treat the problem, the only way to get back on track and enjoy life again. Quitting without the structure and support provided by a professional crack rehab facility like The Canyon is next to impossible.
There are various types of crack rehabs in existence. For example, you first choose between an inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation center, then you choose what style of program you prefer. There are different ideas about treatment: those that promote abstinence from all drugs and alcohol and those that think that harm reduction or limited use of substances is okay. At The Canyon, our goal for everyone who comes to stay with us is abstinence. We believe that the best way to learn how to live without addiction is to wipe out drug and alcohol use completely, no matter what your drug of choice is. We don't believe that you will be able to stop using crack for long if you are drinking or using other drugs. Therefore, we help you to detox off of crack and then learn how to stay clean and sober as a lifestyle choice, providing you with the tools you will need to maintain sobriety when you return home.
The Canyon is uniquely equipped to help those who habitually use crack and also have a co-occurring mental or psychological disorder. This problem is referred to as dual diagnosis and it's an issue that is rarely addressed in most drug rehabilitation facilities. It is estimated that as many as 70 percent of those who suffer from drug abuse also suffer from a psychological issue that could be range in intensity from mild depression to full-blown schizophrenia. The psychological problems generally instigate drug use and drug use makes the psychological problem more overwhelming. When ignoring one, no stability can be gained in treating the other. Both must be treated concurrently or at the same time in order to achieve the most successful outcome: long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol.
