Opioids

Opioids are painkillers that often begin as a temporary solution to severe pain but can quickly transition into something more damaging. Prescription medications like Oxycodone, Codeine, Suboxone, Tramadol, Hydrocodone, or Dilaudid produce a euphoric effect, mankind dependence highly likely with long-term use.

Detox

Alcohol

Alcohol is a social substance that is viewed as acceptable in nearly every corner of the globe and in most settings, but often hides a darker reality. Alcohol addiction and abuse can lead to devastating consequences in almost every aspect of life, but substance abuse treatment can help you finally experience freedom and peace.

Vyvanse and Adderall

Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines or benzos (Xanax, Valium, Ativan, Klonopin, etc.) are central nervous system depressants that slow down central functioning and elicit a systemic sense of calm. These prescription medications are Schedule II controlled substances with a high potential for misuse and dependence.(2)

Fentanyl

More than just a highly potent opioid (50-100 times stronger than morphine), fentanyl is also a common additive in other illicit substances and is often associated with overdose.(3) The degree of devastation behind the use of this substance is a key factor in our nation’s opioid epidemic.

Cocaine

In nearly 20% of all overdose deaths in the U.S., the presence of cocaine has been found.(4) The CNS stimulant accelerates core functions and is highly addictive, with a significant potential for misuse and dependence.

Fentanyl Addiction Treatment

Meth

Methamphetamine is a street drug that is relatively cheap to produce and elicits rapidly occurring effects that can alter brain function. The impact of such a substance can have devastating effects on the whole person, from the inside out (mental, physical, emotional), and lead to potentially catastrophic harm.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs

A dual diagnosis describes both a mental health condition and an alcohol or substance use disorder when they occur simultaneously. While neither one causes the other, they can both make the other more difficult to treat or live with. This often presents challenges to recovery that require professional mental and behavioral health treatment. At Engage Wellness, we will help you identify and address co-occurring disorders and eliminate harmful patterns from your life with holistic treatment options, individual outpatient services, group therapy, and more.

Dual Diagnosis

Substance abuse that stems from self-medicating a mental health condition or a mental health disorder that complicates addiction recovery is an individual challenge with unique needs.  Either circumstance can complicate the effects of one and increase the risks of the other. Effective treatment plans address both separately and their overall impact as a co-occurring disorder.

Anxiety & Addiction

Anxiety paired with alcohol or substance abuse is something that must be managed in a supportive environment with practical treatment and compassionate care. Treatment plans will implement an integrated approach that blends medication management, therapy, and coping skill development to manage anxiety symptoms and prevent relapse.

Depression & Addiction

Treating depression and alcohol or substance abuse requires an integrated approach to client care. By understanding and treating each disorder individually, we can uncover root causes and help you navigate both with evidence-based treatment, therapy, group support, skill development, and more.

PTSD & Addiction

PTSD and alcohol or substance abuse are commonly linked, but which came first varies.[5] Treating PTSD and addiction may blend both medication-assisted treatment to manage withdrawal symptoms and evidence-based therapies to unlock holistic healing.

Bipolar & Addiction

Extreme shifts in mood paired with substance or alcohol abuse can have devastating outcomes. It’s important to address emotional regulation and harmful thought patterns, as well as substance issues, to promote true healing that can stand the test of time and trials.

ADHD & Addiction

ADHD has to do with brain function and how the mind operates differently from traditional patterns. Alcohol or substance abuse can further amplify those differences and make addictive patterns easier to embody. Effective treatment addresses the unique needs of each condition and helps you improve overall quality of life through therapy and coping skill development.

Frequently Asked Questions About Addiction Treatment at Engage Wellness

How expensive is addiction treatment in Saint Louis?2025-06-24T00:33:39+00:00

In many cases, insurance covers some or all of addiction services. The cost of addiction services depends on the addiction treatment center, whether the providers are in-network with your insurance, the level of care needed, and what treatment plan is prescribed. Engage Wellness works with all commercial insurance carriers and is an in-network provider with TriCare. Call admissions to learn more about the cost of treatment.

Do I need inpatient or outpatient treatment?2025-06-24T00:33:20+00:00

Inpatient or residential treatment is a higher level of care often reserved for more severe cases. However, the best way to determine what you need is to participate in an initial assessment. If our intensive outpatient program is not a good fit for your needs, we will happily refer you to a PHP addiction treatment program or detox center to ensure your needs are met.
