Drug Abuse & Addiction


Some people are able to use recreational or prescription drugs without ever experiencing negative consequences or addiction. For many others, substance use can cause problems at work, home, school, and in relationships, leaving you feeling isolated, helpless, or ashamed.
If you’re worried about your own or a friend or family member’s drug use, it’s important to know that help is available. Learning about the nature of drug abuse and addiction—how it develops, what it looks like, and why it can have such a powerful hold—will give you a better understanding of the problem and how to best deal with it.

When all is said and done, you are responsible for protecting yourself from anything that threatens your sobriety. Reducing the stress should be of prime consideration to you. You must learn behavior that will protect you from the stress that might put your sobriety in jeopardy.
"Self-protective" behavior is behavior that will enable you to be firm in accepting your own needs and not allowing other people or situations to push you into reactions that is not in the best interest of your sobriety.
 First identify your own stress triggers, situations that might bring about an over reaction from you. Then change those situations, avoid them, change your reactions, or learn to interrupt them before they get out of control.

PROGRAMS OFFERED
Inpatient-program
The Inpatient Program is a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week chemical dependency program. Length of stay is 6 months and/or based on the individual’s clinical need. The major components of treatment are:
-  Group/Individual Counselling
-  Addiction and Recovery Education

-  Family Therapy/Education
-  Psycho-Spirituality Group
-  Mindfulness awareness Therapy

      * Adventure based Therapy
           
Intensive Outpatient Program offers patients in this level of care five sessions per week and upon completion of treatment plan goals, the ability to transition to four sessions/three sessions per week until all treatment goals have been met. 

Family Program Family is important to drug dependent, and the involvement of the family in treatment is important to us. Addiction breeds dysfunction in the entire family system, resulting in unhealthy patterns that must be addressed before you leave drug rehab. Because the dependent will eventually return to his or her daily life and relationships, it is essential that family dynamics change along with the dependent.
We establish contact with families upon admission, complete a family assessment, utilize family counseling as needed, and share continuing care plans with appropriate family members.

Multi- Family Therapy This program takes place every other weekend. This intensive program provides education, support and skill-building exercises for families of dependents. Family members and significant others are strongly encouraged to attend.

Continuing Care and Alumni Program This program which is offered at no cost, supports those who have finished our Intensive Inpatient Program and Intensive Outpatient Program. It focuses on relapse prevention by providing our graduates the important support they need to make the transition to a substance free lifestyle and successful return to the family, school, work and the community. Continuing Care also involves regular participation in a 12-step program and it consists of two 1 hour group session per week with a minimum of 18 months and for as long as necessary.

WHAT WE ARE

180 Degrees Inc. is a treatment center that is guided by the philosophy that alcohol and drug addiction is a progressive illness, treatable through professional and compassionate care, strong family involvement, education and ongoing support. Our goal is to help each individual attain the physical, emotional, spiritual and social tools to make that turn around to a fulfilling personal recovery.Drug Rehab, Cebu Rehab, Drug abuse, Shabu abuse, alcohol rehab
Drug abuse stems from two distinct causes: physiological on one hand and emotional on the other. 180 Degrees Inc. addresses both dimensions of drug dependency to help and guide patients achieve and maintain sobriety.
Recovery is about more than just stopping an addictive behavior – it requires creating a new lifestyle filled with fresh insights and coping skills. 180 Degrees Inc. utilizes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as other therapies to help identify and change negative thought and behavior patterns to help patients rediscover the self-esteem and self-control necessary for sober living.Drug Rehab, Cebu Rehab, Drug abuse, Shabu abuse, alcohol rehab
By catering to the specific needs of the individual patients, we provide each patient a better chance of getting actively engaged in the treatment process. By such catering, our patient’s engagement with his drug rehabilitation experience becomes a significant function of his own knowledge base, and the level of awareness created by it. Drug Rehab, Cebu Rehab, Drug abuse, Shabu abuse, alcohol rehab
An addict in recovery is always and in all ways actively choosing to stay clean, and with our intent to be more effective. We aim to provide support long after patients leave our drug treatment center thru our Continuing Care program and Alumni Program
A key element of our Continuing Care support program which helps our patients negotiate the transition from intensive substance abuse treatment to independent sober living is thru 12-step support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous which factors heavily into the long-term success of maintaining sobriety; AA/NA support groups serve and remind recovering addicts that they aren’t alone in their struggles, and that they don’t have to face the challenges of sobriety by themselves.Drug Rehab, Cebu Rehab, Drug abuse, Shabu abuse, alcohol rehab
Our Vision is we believe that substance abuse treatment is about hope and healing:, about helping drug addicts and their loved ones rediscover life as it ought to be lived. For the addict and for the people who cares about them, nothing else could ever be more important.Drug Rehab, Cebu Rehab, Drug abuse, Shabu abuse, alcohol rehab

Our Mission is to help clients rediscover the self-esteem and self-control necessary for long-term sober living. Nothing less could ever offer drug addicts meaningful hope for lasting substance abuse recovery.
