Is Your Loved One Showing Signs Of Addiction?
Breathe. You’re in the right place. We can help – and we will.
If you’re here that means you’ve noticed some things about your loved one that are causing you stress and worry. We are glad you are here because being proactive and doing research about addiction and addiction treatment is the best way to help them. Vertava Health owns and operates our own treatment campuses plus has partner relationships with centers across the country.
Use our site as a way to learn more about heroin addiction, painkiller addiction, alcoholism, co-occurring disorders, and mental health disorders. We also provide comprehensive information on the latest treatments that work best for addiction treatment like Christian drug rehab, dialectical behavior therapy, residential and outpatient treatment, individual and group counseling, and medical detox. We are more than just a treatment facility – we also are transforming the industry with our popular blog resource center where our CEO, doctors, pastors and company employees write opinion pieces about the state of the industry and where it needs to go. We want you to be as educated and as informed as possible as you make the crucial decision to help the person in your life heal from the disease of addiction.
Let’s Start With The Basics:
- Is your loved one showing signs of addiction?
- Have they stopped doing the things they used to enjoy? Skipping work or lost their jobs? Do they lie constantly? Do you find their stories never quite add up? Have you noticed items in your home going missing?
- Have you watched them turn from the vibrant, lively person they were into a shell of a body whose only daily function is to find another high?
- When they leave, do you worry that you will never see them again?
Did you answer yes to most or all of these questions?
Then it’s time to do the right thing and help your loved one get into addiction treatment. Call today for a free phone assessment. A better life awaits.
