Drug problems don’t always look the same. Some start with a prescription. Others begin at a party and slowly take over. However it began for you or your loved one, help is available—and recovery is possible.
At Lotus Recovery in Wilmington, DE, we provide compassionate, evidence-based substance use disorder treatment. We meet you where you are. We help you stabilize, learn new skills, and rebuild your life with dignity and support.
Our services include an intensive outpatient program (IOP), an outpatient program (OP), medication assisted options when appropriate, individual and group therapy, family involvement, and thoughtful aftercare planning. Our drug addiction treatment program is tailored to your health, schedule, and goals.
It’s not always obvious when substance use has become a substance use disorder. You may keep work and relationships together for a while. You may also notice the costs growing. Common warning signs include:
If you see yourself here—even a little—it’s worth having a conversation with a professional.

Everyone’s experience is unique, but different drug classes often create distinct patterns. These summaries can help you spot risks and understand what drug addiction treatment may address.
Treatment helps you repair these areas step by step, with practical tools and support for your loved ones, too.
Stopping suddenly can be risky with certain drugs. Each class of substances carries its own dangers if use is ended abruptly. That’s why it’s important to have a safe, supported plan.
Quitting benzodiazepines all at once can be dangerous. Abrupt stoppage may lead to severe withdrawal, including insomnia, panic, tremors, and even seizures. A gradual taper under medical guidance is often the safest route.
Opioid withdrawal is usually not life-threatening, but it can feel overwhelming. Flu-like symptoms, stomach cramps, bone aches, and strong cravings can quickly destabilize recovery if not managed with support.
Stopping stimulants suddenly may not cause severe medical complications, but the “crash” can be intense. People often experience deep fatigue, depression, anxiety, and strong cravings that can lead to relapse without help.
Effective drug addiction treatment blends medical care, therapy, skills training, family involvement, and steady follow-up. Your plan is individualized and may include:
We use therapies that are shown to help people change:
We also address sleep, nutrition, pain, and mental health—because these factors strongly influence recovery.
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does—it simply changes shape. At Lotus Recovery, we start planning early so you’ll leave with a clear path forward. Your plan is simple, written down, and easy to follow.
That plan covers the basics: who you’ll see, what you’ll practice, and when you’ll check in. It might include regular sessions with a therapist or prescriber, peer group meetings, or community supports. It also builds in routines, coping skills, and relapse-prevention strategies to help you stay grounded.
We’ll also connect you with resources that make life outside of treatment easier. This may mean referrals for medical or mental health care, support with employment or housing, or joining alumni groups and peer networks. Ongoing support creates accountability, helps catch slips before they grow, and keeps your recovery strong.
Substance use disorders tend to progress, but they’re highly treatable. Getting help sooner can prevent health complications, protect relationships and work, and make change easier. You don’t need to hit “rock bottom.” If drugs are taking up too much space in your life, that’s enough reason to reach out.

Usually, yes. We’ll help you choose a schedule that fits your job, school, and family responsibilities.
No. Medications like buprenorphine and naltrexone do not create a “high.” They reduce cravings and stabilize your brain so therapy can work. They’re carefully prescribed and monitored.
Yes. Many people use drugs to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, or pain. We treat both the substance use and the underlying issues together.
It varies. Many people spend several weeks in IOP, then step down to OP and aftercare. Your timeline is personalized and reviewed often.
A slip does not erase progress. We’ll help you learn from it, adjust your plan, and keep moving forward.
