Addictions We Treat

Recognizing the Complex Nature of Addiction

Addiction is a complex medical condition that alters the brain’s chemistry, distorts judgment, and quietly diminishes well-being. What may begin as an occasional escape or prescribed relief can, over time, take root as an unrelenting cycle of dependency, marked by tolerance, withdrawal, and an ever-narrowing focus on the next drink or dose. Without treatment, addiction can fracture families, undermine careers, and endanger lives.

At Shore Point Recovery, we meet this challenge with a standard of care that is both uncompromising in its clinical precision and deeply attuned to the human experience. Our multidisciplinary team integrates advanced medical protocols with the restorative power of connection, guiding each client toward lasting recovery and a life renewed with clarity, health, and purpose.

Addictions & Dependencies

At Shore Point Recovery, our expertise spans the full spectrum of substance use disorders and addictive behaviors, including alcohol, prescription medications, illicit drugs, and compulsive patterns. We see each condition as more than a diagnosis; it is a call to restore health, rebuild strength, and reclaim clarity. Every case is met with the highest standard of clinical care to support lasting, measurable recovery.

Alcohol

Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening, with symptoms such as seizures and delirium tremens occurring in up to 5% of severe cases. At Shore Point Recovery, treatment begins with medically supervised detox to ensure safety, followed by residential care that addresses both the physical dependence and the underlying factors that sustain it. We coordinate ongoing therapy and support to protect long-term sobriety.

Opioids

Opioid overdoses claimed over 80,000 lives in the U.S. in 2023. Withdrawal brings intense cravings, body aches, and insomnia — symptoms best managed in a medical setting. We provide acute stabilization, 24/7 clinical oversight, and structured residential care, then coordinate a smooth transition to continued treatment for lasting recovery.

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is 50–100 times stronger than morphine, and even trace exposure can be fatal. Our medical detox team manages severe withdrawal and monitors for complications, while residential care builds resilience through therapy, skill development, and structured routines. Post-discharge, we connect clients with ongoing care to protect against relapse.

Cocaine / Crack

Cocaine’s short-lived high fuels compulsive use, while chronic use can double the risk of stroke in young adults. Our detox program addresses the acute crash phase, then residential care works to restore brain chemistry, improve emotional regulation, and build a foundation for long-term recovery.

Methamphetamine

Meth use is linked to severe dental decay, heart damage, and cognitive impairment. We provide medical support through the initial withdrawal period, followed by residential therapy aimed at restoring physical health, rebuilding mental clarity, and creating structure for a sustainable future.

Benzodiazepines

Long-term benzodiazepine use can lead to dependence in as little as 4–6 weeks. Abrupt cessation is dangerous, with withdrawal symptoms including seizures and hallucinations. We provide slow, medically supervised detox followed by residential treatment that incorporates CBT, coping skills, and relapse prevention.

Adderall

Non-medical Adderall use has risen sharply among adults balancing high-pressure careers and academics. Our program addresses both the physical dependence and the underlying performance pressures driving use, beginning with detox and extending into residential therapy, skill-building, and aftercare coordination.

Xanax (Alprazolam)

Xanax withdrawal can be as dangerous as alcohol withdrawal, requiring careful medical oversight. Our treatment begins with a controlled taper in a clinical setting, then transitions to residential care focused on reducing anxiety triggers and building sustainable coping strategies.

Kratom

Though marketed as a “natural” product, kratom can cause dependence, withdrawal, and liver damage with regular use. We provide safe medical detox, structured residential care, and guidance toward healthier coping tools and wellness practices.

Methadone

Used for opioid maintenance therapy, methadone can still lead to dependence and difficult withdrawal. Detox must be carefully tapered to prevent dangerous complications. At Shore Point Recovery, we guide clients through a safe reduction process, provide residential stabilization, and connect them to appropriate outpatient supports.

Co-Occurring Disorders: Healing the Mind and Body Together

When substance use disorders and mental health conditions occur together, each can intensify the other, making comprehensive, integrated care essential. At Shore Point Recovery, treatment for co-occurring disorders unfolds in a seamless continuum, where psychiatrists, addiction medicine specialists, therapists, and wellness practitioners collaborate as a unified team. The result is an approach that treats the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—without compromise.

Our clinicians draw on the most advanced diagnostic tools available, ensuring every treatment plan is precisely tailored. Evidence-based psychotherapies such as CBT and DBT are integrated with thoughtfully chosen medications and holistic wellness practices. Each element is selected and timed with intention, so recovery addresses both the intricacy of the condition and the individuality of the person.

Anxiety

Anxiety can drive patterns of self-medication with both depressants and stimulants. Treatment may integrate exposure-based CBT, mindfulness-based relapse prevention, and, when indicated, non-addictive anxiolytics such as buspirone or hydroxyzine. Clients practice guided breathing and sensory grounding in serene spaces that encourage focus, relaxation, and inner balance.

ADHD

When ADHD goes unaddressed, it can increase the risk of stimulant misuse and complicate recovery. At Shore Point Recovery, we begin with a thorough assessment to understand each client’s needs and how symptoms influence their substance use. Treatment focuses on developing practical strategies for organization, time management, and focus, supported by therapy that builds resilience and healthier coping skills.

Schizophrenia

Co-occurring psychosis requires coordinated antipsychotic treatment, tactile grounding techniques, and peer-support groups that foster social connection without judgment. Occupational therapy enhances daily living and vocational skills, reinforcing independence while ensuring continued access to therapeutic support.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

OCD can add another layer of complexity to recovery, with intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors often increasing stress and impacting daily life. At Shore Point Recovery, clients receive therapeutic support aimed at reducing symptom intensity, improving coping skills, and building healthier routines. Our team works with each individual to integrate strategies that support both mental health stability and substance recovery.

Depression

Depression often lies beneath substance use, quietly undermining motivation, focus, and connection. Our approach blends evidence-based talk therapies with structured daily routines that encourage re-engagement with meaningful activities and relationships. In residential care, clients work closely with clinicians to identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and establish habits that support both emotional health and long-term sobriety.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder requires careful monitoring and consistent support to maintain stability. At Shore Point Recovery, psychiatric care focuses on managing mood fluctuations and helping clients recognize early signs of change. In residential treatment, clients benefit from structured daily routines, therapeutic guidance, and strategies for sustaining balance, all designed to reduce the risk of relapse and support long-term recovery.

Eating Disorders

Substances often serve as appetite suppressants or emotional anesthetics. Our certified eating-disorder specialists integrate intuitive-eating principles, medical nutrition therapy, and body-image counseling. Mealtime support groups normalize food experiences, while gentle yoga rebuilds bodily trust without overexertion.
