Drug rehabilitation is an important part of the recovery process for anyone addicted. For someone who has never been in a rehabilitation center, the fear of the unknown can be intimidating. Having a brief understanding of what to expect when they enter the facility can be helpful.
There are different drug rehab centers and each offer something unique. In general, a person wants to look for a center that approaches the treatment plan in more than one way. Even when the physical aspect of a dependency on drugs or alcohol is being addressed, the person's psychological need for the substance can't be overlooked. Therefore, finding a center that offers a well-rounded and complete treatment plan is imperative.
As part of the therapy to overcome the physical dependency, medical staff is present to prescribe medications that may ease the difficult symptoms of withdraw. It may seem counter-intuitive to offer more medications to someone trying to break a chemical dependency, but in actuality, the symptoms of withdraw can be disabling. This makes it even more of a challenge for the individual trying to break their habit.
Some individuals who are addicted are thought to have a chemical dependency within their brains. For them, in particular, it becomes even more of an ongoing battle to stay away from the substance they crave. In this case, if this is indeed determined to be the root cause of their addiction, a doctor may prescribe a medication treatment plan that will aid in their recovery.
Group therapy and individual counseling are a typical part of the treatment program as well. In terms of group therapy, patients can expect to participate in sessions in which other addicts, at different stages of the recovery process, discuss their individual challenges and successes.
Even when an individual completes the prescribed treatment plan their recovery isn't assured. Chemical dependency is generally a life-long battle, and as such each person who faces it, must find a way to deal with it effectively. This usually means determining what triggers their drug or alcohol usage. Realizing this can help ensure they don't fall back into the same lifestyle habits they did in the past.
The time devoted to drug rehab varies depending on several factors including how serious the addiction is, how long the person has lived with the addiction as well as the intensity of the treatment plan. In many cases, an individual can expect to stay, at minimum, thirty days in a drug rehab facility.
