Conditions commonly treated at Mela Counseling Services Center
  • Alcoholism

    Alcoholism is a prevalent addiction in California, with many individuals affected by alcohol use disorder, also known as alcoholism or alcohol addiction. This condition is characterized by a strong craving for alcohol and an inability to cease drinking, regardless of the negative consequences it brings. Prolonged alcohol use leads to chemical changes in the brain, causing it to adapt to functioning with alcohol and creating a dependence on it. For many individuals grappling with alcoholism, overcoming the addiction without professional assistance can be incredibly challenging. At Mela Counseling Services Center in Los Angeles, California, our alcoholism treatment program is specifically designed to provide the necessary support and resources to help you break free from alcohol once and for all.

  • Drug Addiction

    Drug addiction is a chronic disease that manifests as a physical and psychological dependency on drugs. Extensive drug use alters brain chemistry, leading to irresistible cravings and disregard for adverse effects. The path to recovery lies in addiction treatment, which is readily available at Mela Counseling Services Center in Los Angeles, California. Don’t hesitate to seek help for yourself or someone you care about, as prolonged drug use can trap you in a destructive cycle of addiction.

  • Opioid Addiction

    Opioids/opiates rank among the most highly addictive substances globally. While they are prescribed for various medical purposes, opioids encompass a wide range of drugs, including prescription medications like morphine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone, as well as illegal substances such as heroin and opium. Misusing opioids can lead to a rapid development of addiction. Referred to as an opioid use disorder, opioid addiction involves compulsive seeking of the drug. In Los Angeles, California, there are numerous treatment options available for individuals struggling with opioid/opiate addiction. The most effective approach to address opioid addiction begins with drug detoxification, followed by inpatient drug rehabilitation. At Mela Counseling Services Center in Los Angeles, California, we provide opioid addiction treatment that is customized to meet your unique needs and circumstances.

  • Substance Abuse

    Substance abuse involves the misuse of drugs or alcohol, encompassing both illicit substances like heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, as well as legal drugs such as alcohol and prescription medications. In Los Angeles, California, various substances are commonly abused, including alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs, methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates/opioids, hallucinogens, and more. It is important to note that substance abuse and drug addiction differ in a crucial aspect: individuals struggling with substance abuse can potentially quit or modify their harmful behaviors. On the other hand, addiction is a disease that makes it challenging for individuals to simply stop using when their addiction starts causing harm. Engaging in substance abuse puts individuals at risk of developing a substance use disorder, a severe mental health condition that often requires external support to overcome drug or alcohol dependency. At Mela Counseling Services Center in Los Angeles, California, our focus is on addressing substance abuse issues and assisting individuals in building fulfilling lives in recovery.
