Substance abuse typically leads to addiction, which requires specialized treatment programs at American Behavioral Health Systems - ABHS to address. Many people benefit from inpatient drug rehabilitation, which includes inpatient acute care and residential rehabilitation. Other levels of care include intensive outpatient therapy, individual counseling, and support groups. Family therapy is also an essential part of treatment for substance abuse.

Drug Detox
Detox is a drug rehab process that is designed to remove the drug addict from the drug safely. The problem with solely using detox as a sobriety tool is that it alone provides no therapy or counseling. If a person goes through detox and returns to their everyday life, they may begin using again once the detox has worn off.
Detox does not help with cravings, so for some addicts, this can be extremely difficult and should be both done and supervised by medical professionals. Aftercare is crucial, so selecting a facility that offers additional services is important.
Inpatient Rehab in Spokane, WA
Inpatient treatment for addiction is generally not as scary as it might sound. It is a way to find recovery while being in a supportive and controlled environment. The duration of treatment at American Behavioral Health Systems - ABHS in Spokane can be different based on each individual. Many can leave after 28 days; some may stay a few months, and others may stay six months or longer.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

Outpatient Program
When remaining at their job in Spokane, or continuing their studies, the individual may live with their family while utilizing American Behavioral Health Systems - ABHS‘s outpatient services. Treatment requires counseling the patient at the individual level, in a group setting, about substance addiction, drugs, and therapy sessions.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.
An intervention is a meeting held by families and friends of the addicted party, managed by American Behavioral Health Systems - ABHS. It lets the person know that their loved ones are concerned about them. It is intended to make the addicted party agree to get help.

Therapies & Programs
The methods used to care for each individual at American Behavioral Health Systems - ABHS.
Individual Therapy
Individual professional counseling or individual therapy refers to the one-on-one interaction between a patient and his or her counselor at American Behavioral Health Systems - ABHS in Spokane, Washington. Individual therapy allows for more privacy, one that group interactions can’t provide.

Finding a peer group in Spokane, WA and others who relate to your situation is a fundamental tool for recovery at American Behavioral Health Systems - ABHS. Addiction tends to lead to isolation and feelings of uniqueness. The accountability and friendship that is found in group therapy can be more effective than any single other treatment approach.

Trauma therapy is a way of addressing trauma while in a safe situation in order to heal. This may involve American Behavioral Health Systems - ABHS managing individual or group counseling or both. Other forms of therapy have been proven to assist in healing past traumas.
Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) is a variation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that helps people understand how maladaptive, negative, and habitual thoughts and feelings lead to bad life choices. REBT is based on the idea that people operate under many irrational but habitual patterns of thought that fuel harmful practices.
The first three steps depend on the patient, so they are more specific and situational. The succeeding four steps center on practical issues brought on by substance abuse. Steps 8 and 9 deal with the social and emotional repercussions of addiction, encouraging patients to make amends to people they have wronged. These are followed by two steps revolving around the further exploration and reinforcement of Steps 1 to 9.
The last step requires an individual to extend a helping hand to people who are still in the early stages of their recovery.
Rehabilitation is not just limited to bringing an individual out of addiction and achieving sobriety. It is considered complete only when an individual starts leading a normal and balanced life. Life skill therapy focuses on the various skills that help an individual to lead a normal life. Patients often do not take care of themselves, struggle professionally, and withdraw from social interaction due to addiction’s physical and emotional disturbances.
Life skills therapy helps people in Washington improve various personal, professional, and social skills such as cooking healthy meals, maintaining proper hygiene, budgeting, decision-making, time management, regulation of emotions, and effectively resolving interpersonal conflicts.
