Soma (Carisoprodol) Treatment & Rehab

Soma Abuse Treatment

Soma is a prescription drug that is also known by its generic name carisoprodol. This drug is a muscle relaxant and it works by blocking how pain signals are sent between the nerves and the brain. Soma is intended as a short-term treatment, which is usually prescribed for no more than three weeks. Soma can be used along with rest and physical therapy as someone works to overcome pain and discomfort. The reason Soma shouldn’t be used for more than a few weeks is because it has a potential for abuse, addiction and dependence. The longer someone uses Soma, or when someone uses it outside of how it’s prescribed, the more likely they are to develop an addiction or dependence. The risk of requiring Soma rehab or addiction treatment is higher for people who have a history of a substance use disorder.

If someone who uses Soma seems impaired or is putting an extreme amount of attention or focus on the drug, they may be abusing the drug. People who are abusing Soma may have a lack of coordination, they may seem distant from friends or family, they may struggle with short-term memory loss, or they can have sleep disturbances. If someone is dependent upon Soma, they will have withdrawal symptoms if they suddenly try to stop using it. Soma is rarely abused on its own. Instead, it’s more often used with other depressants like alcohol or narcotic pain medications to heighten the effects. When a person develops a polysubstance abuse problem, each drug has to be separately dealt with during treatment.

Regardless of the extent of someone’s Soma abuse or drug addiction, there are some aspects that need to be part of any treatment program. A Soma rehab program needs to be based on the concept that addiction is a treatable, chronic disease that can be successfully managed. During treatment, people should start working to overcome the changes that drugs have made on their bodies and their behavior. Treatment should also be a way for people to regain a sense of control in their lives. Soma withdrawal symptoms can be severe. They can include symptoms like hallucinations and seizures -making it important that someone find a Soma treatment program that includes a detox program.

Inpatient Treatment

For anyone with complicating factors, such as a polysubstance addiction or underlying mental health conditions, inpatient Soma treatment is often the best option. Inpatient treatment is more in-depth and requires the patient to live in a treatment facility for a period of time. Most Soma treatment programs can vary from 28 to 90 days, although some are longer. An inpatient Soma treatment program will usually begin with a structured detox program to manage withdrawal symptoms. From there, the patient can move into the actual treatment phase of the program.

Outpatient Treatment

A Soma treatment program can also be completed on an outpatient basis. Outpatient programs allow patients to continue living at home, and they typically will keep up with their other responsibilities such as school and work. Outpatient treatment also tends to be less expensive than inpatient residential treatment, however, it has downsides as well. For example, outpatient treatment isn’t typically going to include a supervised detox program. Outpatient Soma treatment may not be adequate to treat complex situations either, such as multiple addictions. Most outpatient rehab programs utilize cognitive behavioral therapy as well as contingency management. Sometimes outpatient programs may also include other forms of therapy such as motivational interviewing or family therapy.

Soma Rehabilitation

When someone is thinking about a Soma rehabilitation program, it’s usually because they’re at a point where they feel that addiction has taken over their life. For people who are addicted to Soma, they may feel that their entire focus has become the drug and they can’t enjoy anything else in their life. Soma rehabilitation can help people not only overcome their addiction, but also help them to function in their lives in a fulfilling way. Many people with addictions have experienced disruptions in every part of their life -their families, relationships, at work, and in other areas. Soma rehabilitation should address all of these factors.

Soma Treatment Program & Rehab Center

Every Soma treatment center is going to have some slight differences but these programs will also have some things in common with one another. Most Soma treatment programs are going to focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, which works to help patients change how they deal with situations where they would typically be most likely to abuse drugs. Contingency management may also be used during Soma treatment, which provides a reward system when people make the right choices. Family therapy can work on the interactions someone has with their family and how these relationships both contribute to addiction, and also are affected by it.
