At MyRehab Dual Diagnosis Addiction Centres, managing cravings for alcohol and tobacco involves a dual approach, combining medication with holistic therapies to target both the physical and emotional aspects of addiction.
To help with alcohol cravings, MyRehab might use drugs like Disulfiram to make drinking alcohol less pleasant, Acamprosate to stabilize brain chemistry, or Naltrexone to block the buzz alcohol gives. Each of these can help you feel less need to drink.
For tobacco addiction, we use Bupropion to cut down cravings and Varenicline to make smoking less satisfying. These two medications can make quitting smoking easier by helping you deal with the itch for a cigarette.
Medication is just one side of the coin. We also offer therapies like CBT and MI to give you the mental tools to fight cravings. Support groups are also there to provide comfort and understanding from those who know what you’re going through.
Addiction isn’t just about one thing. It’s tied to your mental health, life situation, and so much more. That’s why at MyRehab, we look at every part of you and your life. We know that to truly beat addiction, we need to understand where it comes from and tackle it from all sides.
If alcohol or tobacco has a hold on you or someone you care about, MyRehab is ready to help. Get in touch to learn about our special treatment plans and start on the path to living free from addiction.
