Maple Mountain Wellness Center tailors treatment for barbiturates abuse to the unique needs of each person we serve. We understand the recovery journey looks different for everyone. However, there are some general steps that most treatment programs follow:

  • Detox: The process of removing barbiturates from the body. It is usually done in a supervised medical setting to minimize physical symptoms of withdrawal.
  • Sub-Acute Detox: This form of detox helps people gradually reduce their dependence. It involves a combination of medication and counseling. 
  • Social Detox: This form of detox involves removing yourself from your usual social environment and surrounding yourself with people who support your recovery journey.
  • Rehabilitation: Maple Mountain Wellness offers both inpatient and outpatient rehab. It typically involves individual therapy, group therapy and other support services to help address the root of your addiction and build healthy coping strategies.
  • Aftercare: This is the phase of treatment that occurs after the individual has completed their rehabilitation program. Aftercare is extremely important to continue receiving support during this time to help prevent relapse.
