    Drug Rehabilitation

    Getting sober on your own is not only dangerous during the initial detox, it is also more likely to result in a relapse later on. Addiction treatment centers provide a monitored environment where you will get the medical attention you need, as well as the emotional support to overcome drug or alcohol abuse.

    A significant benefit of inpatient rehab is that it allows for a safe environment for treatment. The patient doesn’t have access to drugs or alcohol, and they’re surrounded by people that want them to succeed and change their lives. Treatment starts with detox and behavioral therapy, followed by group therapy and family involvement.

    Outpatient Program

    Outpatient treatment consists of counseling and therapy sessions. The outpatient treatment process begins with the addict’s initial detox period, lasting about ten days. Outpatient treatment is used for those who are at moderate risk for “slipping back” into the addiction. It is also used for those who are not currently experiencing any side effects from withdrawal, can handle social pressure, have a stable living environment, and have a good support system.
