My Fathers House Inc

104 North King Street
Gloucester City, NJ. 08030
856-742-0900

My Fathers House Inc is 6.1 miles from Woodbury Heights, NJ

Although the doors of My Father's House welcomes everyone, most people struggling with substance abuse and/or addiction only come after there is a significant problem in their life that they must face. The denial syndrome is the hardest to break, that is facing the fact that maybe one has a problem. Usually only after something horrible, painful or traumatizing has happened, does one begin to face the fact that their use of alcohol and/or drugs is disrupting their lives and the lives of those around them. Most of our clients, unfortunately, are mandated here due to driving while under the influence charges, possession of a controlled substance such as pot or other CDS's, as well as family problems. Companies send their employees here due to failing drug testing at their place of employment.

Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment

What is a medical detox?

Medical detox, also known as medically supervised detoxification, is the process of safely managing the physical symptoms of withdrawal from substances like alcohol, opioids, or other drugs under the supervision of healthcare professionals. This process is typically the first step in a comprehensive treatment plan for substance use disorders.

The goal of medical detox is to minimize the physical harm caused by withdrawal and to alleviate discomfort. Here's what it typically involves:

Evaluation: This first step includes a thorough assessment of the individual's physical and mental health, as well as the extent and nature of their substance use. This information is used to design an appropriate and personalized detox and treatment plan.

Stabilization: During this phase, medical professionals administer treatment to manage withdrawal symptoms and ensure the patient's safety. This may involve the use of medications to ease symptoms and prevent complications. Medical staff monitor the patient's vital signs like heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature, and may provide nutritional support and hydration as needed.

Preparation for Further Treatment: Once the acute phase of detox is complete, the focus shifts to preparing the individual for further treatment, such as inpatient or outpatient rehab. This may involve counseling or therapy to help the individual understand the importance of continuing treatment to maintain long-term recovery.

In what ways do drug addiction change one's personality?

Drug addiction can significantly change an individual's personality in various ways. The changes are often a result of how the substance interacts with the brain and can affect one's behaviors, emotions, and interactions with others. Here are some common ways in which drug addiction may alter personality:

Increased Aggression or Irritability: Substances can affect the brain's balance of neurotransmitters, leading to changes in mood and behavior. This can result in increased aggression, irritability, or mood swings, which might not align with the person's typical personality traits.

Decreased Motivation: Many addictive substances can lead to a decreased interest or motivation in activities that were once enjoyed. This can result in a noticeable change in personality, as the person may appear apathetic or disinterested in life outside their substance use.

Increased Impulsivity and Risk-taking: Drug addiction often leads to increased impulsivity and risk-taking behaviors. This is due to changes in the brain's reward system and decision-making processes, leading individuals to take more risks to obtain the substance, often disregarding the potential consequences.

Paranoia and Anxiety: Some substances can induce feelings of paranoia or increase levels of anxiety. Individuals who were previously calm and trusting may become suspicious, anxious, or overly worried.

Depression: Many individuals struggling with substance use disorders also experience symptoms of depression. This can lead to a noticeable change in personality, including increased sadness, lethargy, and withdrawal from social activities.

Manipulative Behavior: In order to continue using and obtaining drugs, individuals may resort to manipulative behaviors, such as lying, stealing, or deceit. This can result in a significant change in personality, as individuals may prioritize their addiction over their relationships and personal values.

Social Isolation: As drug addiction progresses, individuals may isolate themselves from family and friends, either to hide their substance use or because their primary relationships are increasingly with others who are using drugs.

Neglect of Personal Care: Addiction can lead to neglect of personal care and hygiene, which may manifest in physical changes as well as shifts in personality traits related to self-discipline and self-respect.

What are the signs of meth addiction?

Physical appearance: Meth use can lead to drastic changes in physical appearance, such as rapid weight loss, poor dental hygiene (often called "meth mouth"), skin sores from excessive picking, and premature aging.

Sleep disturbances: Meth is a potent stimulant, causing users to experience insomnia or erratic sleep patterns. They may stay awake for extended periods, followed by crashing for long hours to recover.

Increased energy and hyperactivity: Meth use can cause a surge in energy, leading to hyperactivity, rapid speech, and fidgeting. The person may engage in repetitive or obsessive behaviors, such as cleaning or disassembling objects.

Paranoia and hallucinations: Meth can induce feelings of paranoia, suspicion, and even auditory or visual hallucinations. The person may become increasingly mistrustful of others and exhibit irrational or delusional beliefs.

Aggression and mood swings: Meth addiction can lead to unpredictable mood swings, including irritability, aggression, anxiety, or depression. The person may become easily agitated or display violent tendencies.

Impaired cognitive function: Chronic meth use can cause difficulties with memory, concentration, and decision-making. The person may struggle to maintain focus or display confusion and disorientation.

Social isolation: Meth addiction can lead to social withdrawal, as the person prioritizes their drug use over personal relationships and activities they once enjoyed.

Risk-taking behaviors: Meth use can impair judgment, leading to increased risk-taking behaviors such as unsafe sexual practices, criminal activities, or driving under the influence.

Neglect of responsibilities: Meth addiction can cause a person to neglect personal, professional, or family obligations, resulting in job loss, financial difficulties, or relationship problems.

Tolerance and withdrawal: Over time, meth users may develop a tolerance to the drug, requiring higher doses or more frequent use to achieve the desired effects. If the person stops using meth, they may experience withdrawal symptoms such as fatigue, depression, anxiety, and intense cravings for the drug.
