Keys to Tranquility: A Pathway to Overcoming Substance Abuse

Substance abuse continues to be a major public health concern in the United States, and the statistics on opioid overdose deaths highlight the urgency of addressing this crisis. At Keys to Tranquility, we provide comprehensive substance abuse treatment programs designed to help individuals overcome addiction and reclaim their lives. Our approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and is tailored to the individual needs of each person we work with.

The recent surge in drug overdose deaths is alarming, with a nearly 30% increase from 2019 to 2020 alone. Opioids are the main culprit, causing nearly 75% of the 91,799 drug overdose deaths in 2020.1 The problem is not new, as the opioid overdose epidemic can be traced back to the 1990s when opioids began to be overprescribed. The epidemic has since evolved into three distinct waves. The first wave began with the increased prescribing of opioids, followed by a second wave involving heroin overdoses, and a third wave involving synthetic opioids, particularly illicitly manufactured fentanyl.2

Keys to Tranquility is committed to fighting the opioid epidemic and helping communities in need. We work closely with medical personnel, first responders, public safety officials, mental health and substance use treatment providers, community-based organizations, and members of the community to coordinate efforts to prevent opioid overdoses and deaths. Our facility offers various evidence-based strategies and resources to support those struggling with substance abuse.

Our approach includes a strong focus on monitoring trends to better understand and respond to the epidemic, advancing research, building state, local and tribal capacity, supporting providers and healthcare systems, partnering with public safety officials and community organizations, and increasing public awareness about prescription opioid misuse and overdose.

If you or a loved one needs help, don’t hesitate to reach out to Keys to Tranquility. Our compassionate team of professionals is ready to support you on your path to recovery.

Understanding the Complexities of Opioid Addiction

Opioid addiction is a complex and challenging condition that requires specialized care. As the statistics show, the opioid epidemic has been driven by multiple factors, including the over-prescription of opioids in the 1990s, the rise of heroin use, and the emergence of illicitly manufactured fentanyl. Keys to Tranquility provides a range of treatment options that are designed to address the different aspects of opioid addiction, including medication-assisted treatment, individual and group therapy, and holistic services like yoga, meditation, and massage therapy.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a highly effective approach to treating opioid addiction that involves the use of medications like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone to help individuals manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. At Keys to Tranquility, our medical team works closely with each patient to determine the most appropriate medication and dosage based on their unique needs and circumstances.

Individual and Group Therapy

Individual and group therapy are essential components of substance abuse treatment. At Keys to Tranquility, our team of experienced therapists provides evidence-based therapy options like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI). These therapies help individuals develop coping skills, address underlying mental health conditions, and create a strong support network.
