    Conditions and Issues Treated

    A drug rehab center that uses Dual Diagnosis is more likely to be successful in rehabilitating a person. Dual diagnosis helps to identify and treat any co-occurring disorders. It is essential to screen for both addiction and any untreated mental health issues. A dual diagnosis gives rehab the means to treat addiction while restoring mental and emotional health.

    Levels of Care Offered

    Inpatient rehab means you live there while your addiction or co-occurring disorder is treated. Prescribed medications are used along with counseling.

    This type of rehabilitation provides a drug-free environment for people who struggle with chronic/long-term addiction (or their own home). Jobs or school can be put on hold until after the stay to focus solely on recovery.

    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.

    Aftercare Support in drug rehab is crucial because it helps people stay sober after treatment. Aftercare Support in drug rehab is helpful because it provides the recovering person with a support group, including family members, friends, and other peers who are also in recovery.

Another benefit of Aftercare Support is that participants learn to maintain their sobriety through holistic methods. They learn to modify behaviors individually to have peace of mind, have positive relationships with others, and find peace on the inside.

    Therapies & Programs

    Family therapy is designed to help addicts get clean and sober by using what they love the most; their family. Most drug treatment centers make it mandatory that the addict’s family attend therapy sessions, which is great because having everyone there to support them makes it much easier for them to get clean. Not only are they surrounded by people who want them to get better, but everyone is there because they want the best for them, not because they feel like they have to be.

    Drug addicts are often surrounded by resentful or uneducated family members who would, at times, rather see them stay addicted because it makes their own lives easier. Sometimes they don’t understand what the addiction is or how they play a part in it. They know that during and after the addict’s sobriety journey, they will face challenges and changes that they aren’t sure how to handle. This can be very tough for an addict to go through on their own, which is why it’s so important that they have the support of their family. Just because someone is an addict does not mean that they don’t deserve the love and support of those around them.

It is recommended that all group members be recovering addicts for this type of therapy to work.

    Traumas are one of the most common causes of psychological disorders such as Addiction Disorder. It’s often found among those diagnosed with Addictive Disorders because traumatized individuals have strong emotions or thoughts related to their traumas, leading to addictive behaviors.

    Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on eliminating specific negative thoughts, such as suicidal thoughts. These negative thoughts can potentially lead to an individual inflicting self-harm. It helps treat patients exhibiting uncontrollable emotions, intense mood swings, and borderline personality disorders.

    The term “Dialectic” means the integration of opposites. In substance abuse, DBT refers to accepting the patient’s addiction and working to change their thoughts and behavior. It improves life skills such as controlling intense emotions without reacting impulsively, resolving interpersonal conflicts effectively, and promoting awareness about self and others.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps addicts comprehend the causes of their substance abuse and the consequences that follow. The treatment’s goal is to help addicts gain self-control and maintain abstinence from drugs and alcohol over the long term. Through CBT, clients learn to recognize and avoid high-risk situations and cope with challenging situations when they arise.
