Casa Palmera is a holistic-based residential substance abuse treatment facility. We offer a variety of unique programs that separates us from virtually all other behavioral health facilities in America.

Substance abuse and chemical dependency is an unhealthy pattern of using alcohol and/or other drugs that negatively affects everyday functioning, often leading to the need for treatment. This addiction is a physical and/or psychological disorder. You know that the addiction is physical when your body desires the substance or displays signs of tolerance and eventual withdrawal. It becomes psychologically addicting when it affects your emotions as well as your personality.

Over time, the person’s tolerance for the drug(s) will increase, so that more is required to achieve the desired high, and withdrawal symptoms occur if the drug use is stopped.

With continued use, the drug eventually becomes the number one priority in the person’s life. Everything revolves around the drug – how to get it, when to get it, where to get it – all other aspects of life fall by the wayside.

Types of Substance Abuse

At first a user may only see positive effects of cocaine use: more energy, increased talkativeness and mentally alterness. If one becomes addicted to cocaine, or takes enough, devastating side effects set in, such as paranoia, tremors, respiratory arrest and vertigo. A large enough dose can cause cardiac arrest and even death. Some signs of heavy cocaine use are:

• Alcohol Abuse (Alcoholism)
• Cocaine Addiction
• Heroin Addiction
• Methamphetamine Addiction
• Inhalant Drug Abuse
• Opiod Addiction
• Morphine (and derivatives) Addiction
