Catalina Behavioral Health Offers Rehab for Heroin and Marijuana and Motivational Enhancement Therapy in Arizona

Apr 17, 2023

April 17, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - Catalina Behavioral Health, a premier behavioral health treatment center based in Tucson, AZ, has released new, detailed resources about rehab for those seeking treatment for heroin use, marijuana rehab, and motivational enhancement therapy that are all provided at their facility. These online resources are designed to offer people who are struggling with addiction the information and the tools they require to make informed decisions about their treatment options.

Heroin is a very powerful opioid drug that is derived from the poppy plant. It is an illegal drug and is often sold in powder form or as a tar-like sticky substance. It comes with substantial risks, including addiction and overdose, including long-term physical and mental health problems. Physical signs of heroin abuse include sudden weight loss; changes in pupil size; and track marks. Behavioral changes include slurred speech, increased secrecy, poor performance in work or school, neglect of responsibilities, lying or stealing money, and the presence of syringes spoons with burn marks, or burned aluminum foil.

The options for heroin rehab available through Catalina are detox for heroin addiction and substance abuse; inpatient heroin addiction treatment centers; outpatient addiction treatment for heroin drug abuse; and dual diagnosis treatment for heroin addiction treatment. The duration of heroin rehab depends on various factors, such as the patient’s motivation for recovery, the severity or the addiction, and the type of program.

Meanwhile, treatment options for cannabis use disorders are also available at Catalina Behavioral Health. Their published resource provides a detailed look at the various treatment options that are available for addiction to marijuana, including inpatient and outpatient programs, therapy, and support groups.

It is important to note that it is indeed possible for a person to get addicted to cannabis or marijuana. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), around one out of 10 people who smoke marijuana or otherwise use cannabis may develop an addiction to marijuana. The physical signs of marijuana use include increased appetite, bloodshot eyes, impaired coordination, slowed reaction time, coughing fits, dry mouth and throat, and respiratory issues like bronchitis or pneumonia.

Marijuana addiction may be mostly psychological drug addiction but it is vital to understand that chronic use of marijuana can have significant negative effects on a person’s life. Thus, cannabis users may require a comprehensive addiction treatment facility to receive the substance use disorder and mental health services they require.

Meanwhile, motivational enhancement therapy is an evidence-based therapy method that can be used to help people overcome their addictions. It has four components, which are: engagement, focus, evoking, and planning. Engagement involves creating a therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the patient in order to establish an environment for open communication without criticism or judgment. Focus is important for the practitioners to get a better understanding of what the client wants to achieve with therapy. Evoking involves recognizing, and reviewing the client’s statements, and asking the proper questions to elicit “change talk” from them. And planning is essential to achieve evoking.

Motivational interviewing has been observed for the treatment of various kinds of addictions and addictive behaviors, including drug abuse, alcohol abuse, gambling addiction, compulsive shopping disorder, eating disorders, and other kinds of addictive behavior.

Catalina Behavioral Health has the reputation of providing one of the top drug addiction treatment centers in Arizona and this is supported by some of the most effective techniques for fighting addiction to drugs or alcohol. For instance, they are capable of helping patients deal with withdrawal symptoms by applying a comprehensive treatment plan that minimizes the possibility of a relapse. They offer various kinds of therapy, such as biofeedback treatment; cognitive behavioral therapy; dialectical behavior therapy; holistic therapy; experiential therapy; psychodynamic therapy; and motivational enhancement therapy. The main types of drug and alcohol rehab programs offered are inpatient or residential treatment programs and outpatient drug rehab programs. The outpatient programs are provided in three levels: intensive outpatient programs (IOPs); partial hospitalization programs, and outpatient services.

Timberwolves confident Edwards will be ‘good as new’ after knee surgery

Timberwolves confident Edwards will be ‘good as new’ after knee surgery

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Timberwolves believe Anthony Edwards will be “good as new” following arthroscopic surgery for a lingering injury to his right knee, president of basketball operations Tim Connelly said Wednesday. Edwards was scheduled for the cleanup procedure Thursday, after which the Timberwolves will have a clearer timetable for his return later this season, whether that becomes a matter of weeks or months. Connelly didn't specify the diagnosis, but Edwards was bothered by right knee pain last spring and limited to a career-low 61 games last season. He then suffered a hyperextension of his left knee in the first round of the playoffs that caused a deep bone bruise and kept him out for two games. Edwards was seen grabbing his knee with a grimace at one point Sunday during the home opener. Even after being listed as questionable to play Monday, Edwards scored 47 points in an overtime loss at Cleveland. His 133 points through four games is a franchise record. An MRI Tuesday revealed new damage for Edwards that was not detected in previous scans, which were done before training camp and during the playoffs. His condition this summer was not such that a procedure would have been recommended then, Connelly said. “He wants to play tonight. He looked pretty good the other night, having the 47,” Connelly said before the Timberwolves hosted Golden State. “We’re just concerned about his long-term health. We want to make sure we’re putting him in the best position he can be so he can be the best version he’s going to be for a long time.” Edwards, ever the intense competitor, consented to the surgery “kicking and screaming,” Connelly said. “He’s bummed, but Anthony is such a naturally positive and upbeat guy,” Connelly said. “He’s hit all his teammates quickly and said, ‘You guys got it,’ and we’ll roll from there.” The Timberwolves are already without guard Donte DiVincenzo, who started all 82 games last season before tearing his right Achilles tendon in the same playoff game against Denver during which Edwards hyperextended his left knee. The acquisition of point guard LaMelo Ball remade the lineup and gave the Timberwolves a fresh spark, moving Edwards back to his natural shooting guard spot. There's plenty of backcourt depth with Ayo Dosunmu and Terrence Shannon Jr. coming off the bench so far this season, with one of them likely to start in the absence of Edwards. Another backup, Bones Hyland, will likely have an elevated role as well. “We know he brings dynamic scoring, leadership. Tough to fill in his shoes, just from what he does on the floor for us. Nobody can be like Ant, but we've got players who can step in and just take over a game as well,” Hyland said. “Just play team basketball.”
