Drug Rehab Centers
|
|
Drug rehab centers help those with substance abuse problems
to overcome and manage their addictions. Drug rehab centers
often coexist with alcohol rehab centers since both substance
abuse problems share some similarities and many who visit
a treatment facility have both types of addictions and need
to be treated at one facility. Drug rehab centers also offer
some unique methods and treatments, depending upon the drugs
of choice used by the person and the person's history.

Some of the different drug rehab centers offer several programs
including inpatient, residential, outpatient, detox with long or
short-term options. The methods used in these different programs
can vary from 12-Step, group and individual psychotherapy to12-Step
alternative methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, the Matrix
Model, Supportive-Expressive Psychotherapy, Individualized Addiction
Counseling, Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Behavioral Therapy
and Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT).
Inpatient Drug Rehab Centers
Inpatient drug
rehab centers are good choices for those with moderate to severe
drug dependency problems and a long history of trying to maintain
sobriety. Treatment at inpatient drug rehab centers can be for as
little as 28 days or for 6 months or longer, depending upon the
needs of the individual. Inpatient drug rehab centers are usually
located at licensed hospitals whereas residential treatment facilities
do not have to meet the same rigorous medical standards. The cost
associated with inpatient care is also generally much higher than
with residential care.
Residential Drug Rehab Centers
Residential
drug rehab centers offer a "getaway" atmosphere
that cannot be offered by inpatient care in a hospital setting.
Residential drug rehab centers may be offered on a ranch setting
or other types of retreat settings apart from the hustle and
bustle of daily life. These settings are thought to promote
family cooperation better than other settings. Some residential
drug rehab centers focus entirely on adolescents.
Outpatient Drug Rehab Centers
Outpatient
drug rehab centers are for those persons who have mild
to moderate addiction problems and a short history of substance
abuse. Most outpatient drug rehab centers allow the person
to stay at home with family and continue employment while
undergoing their treatment program. The addicted person's
commitment is the best indicator for success for this type
of program.
Drug Detox Rehab Centers
Most drug rehab centers do not focus solely on the detox
portion of drug treatment, but picking a center with a compatible
drug detox
rehab program may mean the difference between success
or failure of the program. Some rehab centers use tradition
detox methods while others have turned to newer methodology
such as having the person do detox while under anesthesia
with the supervision of a board-certified anesthesiologist.
Long and Short-Term Drug Rehab Centers
Drug rehab centers may offer inpatient, outpatient and /
or residential care on a long-term or short-term basis. Some
will only offer a small combination of options. For instance,
some retreat residential drug rehab facilities only offer
short-term (30-day) options for treatment. Other facilities
such as some inpatient hospital settings only offer long-term
(3 to 6-months or more) options. The two largest factors in
determining whether a short-term or long-term rehab center
is needed are the severity of the addiction and the length
of the history for the addiction. The higher severity and
longer history usually means a long-term rehab center is needed
and a less severe and shorter addiction history may be treated
with intensive short-term methods.
