Drug Rehab

The ultimate goal of a drug rehab is to enable the individual to achieve lasting abstinence from drug use. The short term goal of a drug rehab is to help the individual through detox and withdrawal from drugs in addition to improving their ability to function in society again. A drug rehab will help minimize the medical and social complications of Drug Abuse.

Patients who stay in a Drug Rehab longer than 3 months typically have better outcomes than those who stay less time. Those who go through medically assisted withdrawal to minimize discomfort but do not receive any further treatment, perform about the same in terms of their drug use as those who never receive treatment. Over the last 25 years, studies have shown that attending a Drug Rehab works to reduce if not eliminate drug intake and crimes committed by drug-dependent people.

Inpatient Drug Rehab

Inpatient Drug Rehab is one of many methods whose ultimate goal is long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Those who attend an inpatient Drug Rehab use the new tools they have learned to help them re-enter society and lead responsible, successful drug and alcohol free lives.

Inpatient Drug Rehab centers offer support and structure for men and women seeking help for problems with drugs or alcohol. Participants reside on location for the course of the treatment; lengths of stay vary and may be individualized. Care at an inpatient Drug Rehab is provided 24 hours a day 7 days a week; this is only one of the benefits of attending an inpatient Drug Rehab.

Outpatient Drug Rehab

An outpatient Drug Rehab is a program designed to provide long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Outpatient Drug Rehab programs use a broad verity of techniques. These techniques include a wide range of approaches including problem-solving groups, specialized therapies such as insight-oriented psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and 12-step programs. Similar to other Drug Rehabs, the individual may stay in the program for several months or longer. Those who attend an outpatient Drug Rehab do not live at the Drug Rehab as they would an inpatient Drug Rehab.

Outpatient drug rehab programs vary in the types and intensity of services offered. Low-intensity outpatient drug rehab programs may offer little more than drug education and counsel. Other outpatient drug rehab models, such as intensive day treatment, can be comparable to residential programs in services and effectiveness, depending on the individual's characteristics and needs. All in all, the ultimate goal of an outpatient drug rehab is to help the individual recover from Drug Addiction so that they may re-enter society and lead responsible, successful drug and alcohol free lives.
