Her extensive experience and compassionate approach provide a path to recovery for individuals and their families impacted by substance abuse.

Understanding Addiction

Addiction is a complex and isolating disease that affects not only the individual but also their loved ones, including spouses, significant others, children, family members, friends, and coworkers. Untreated substance abuse can devastate lives and relationships, particularly harming the most vulnerable members of the family. Children growing up in homes with substance abuse often face neglect and emotional trauma, and these problems are frequently denied or hidden.

The Nature of Substance Dependence

Drug and alcohol dependence disorders are medical conditions that can be effectively treated. Recovery is possible, and millions of Americans and their families are living proof of this. Recognizing the problem and seeking help is the crucial first step towards recovery. Addiction tends to worsen over time, causing increasing harm to the individual and their loved ones. People suffering from addiction often live in denial, believing they drink or use drugs normally. This denial is a symptom of the disease.

Treatment Approaches

Treatment for addiction can take many forms and occur in various settings, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. The journey to recovery begins with stopping the use of alcohol or drugs, and professional help is often necessary to achieve this. Dr. Nikoo is dedicated to creating a personalized treatment plan for each patient, addressing their specific addiction and personal circumstances.

Comprehensive Treatment Plans

Dr. Nikoo’s approach to addiction treatment includes:

Assessment: A thorough evaluation of the patient’s addiction, medical history, and personal circumstances to create a tailored treatment plan.
Detoxification: Medical supervision to safely manage withdrawal symptoms and cleanse the body of addictive substances.
Therapy and Counseling: Individual and group therapy sessions to address the psychological aspects of addiction. Techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) are used to change harmful behaviors and thought patterns.
Family Support: Involving family members in the treatment process to heal relationships and provide a supportive environment for the patient’s recovery.
Aftercare and Relapse Prevention: Ongoing support and resources to help patients maintain their sobriety and prevent relapse. This includes follow-up counseling, support groups, and developing coping strategies for dealing with triggers and stress.

The Impact of Untreated Addiction

Untreated substance abuse can have severe consequences, especially for young children and adolescents. It can lead to emotional trauma, developmental issues, and perpetuate a cycle of addiction within families. Early intervention and comprehensive treatment are essential to break this cycle and promote healing for the entire family.
