There are many addictive drugs, and drug rehabs for specific drugs can differ. drug rehab also varies depending on the specific needs of the patient.

A drug rehab is a place or program that an individual enters in order to treat a drug or alcoholism addiction problem. Through therapy and education, Individual's are rehabilitated using various treatment methods which enable them to lead a productive and drug free life. There are many reasons why a person would need to attend a drug rehabilitation program. A few of the many reasons are: the inability to control their drinking or drug use, alienating their friends and family, legal problems, severe depression and general unhappiness due to excessive drug or alcohol use. There are many different types of drug rehab programs available: in patient, outpatient, residential, short-term, and long-term. The initial step of drug or alcohol addiction treatment is drug detoxification.

Drug detox includes medical supervision for drug addiction and alcoholism. drug detox is just one phase of the recovery process. drug detoxification is only the first step of drug rehabilitation which is done in order to overcome the physical withdrawal symptoms of drug addiction and alcoholism. A drug rehab program specifically tailored to the individual's specific needs is the next step in recovery.

Scientific research has shown that the length of time an individual participates in the addiction treatment process is a critical factor, Typical treatment duration includes: short-term treatment programs (28 days), Long-term treatment centers (6 months or longer). The length of time required to rehabilitate an individual is determined by the level and duration of drug or alcohol abuse. Individual's with a long history of chronic drug addiction or alcoholism, normally require a long-term drug rehab in order to increase the chances of a successful outcome. Individual's with a brief history may find success by entering a short-term treatment program or out patient drug counseling.

In addition to the duration of treatment, the type of drug rehab facility is an important factor as well. There are many different treatment modalities: therapeutic communities or residential treatment centers, Twelve Step, Drug Treatment, Sober Living, Drug Counseling, Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Narconon, and many more. The importance of correctly Diagnosing the individual and selecting the appropriate type of treatment option should not be underestimated as this may be the difference between success and failure in the recovery process.

When choosing which type of drug rehab treatment modality is correct for an individual there are a number of factors to consider. Consider the duration and intensity of the individual's drug ar alcohol abuse and the potential behaviors connected with the abuser i.e. stealing, lying, violence, depression to name a few. Is the individual ready and willing to admit they have a problem and need help. If not an intervention can be done by family members with the assistance of an intervention specialist.

After care can be an essential component for chronic drug and alcohol abusers. It is an essential step in the recovery process of chronic drug and alcohol abusers and is often overlooked by many addiction treatment programs.

In general, the more treatment received, the greater the results. Drug and alcohol abusers who remain in treatment longer than 3 months typically have greater success than those who receive less treatment. Addicted individuals who undergo medically assisted drug or alcohol detox to minimize the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms but do not receive any further treatment, perform about the same in terms of their drug or alcohol use as those who are never treated at all. Over the last 25 years, studies have shown that drug rehab treatment is very effective in reducing or eliminating drug and alcohol intake. Researchers also have found that drug abusers who have been through a treatment program are more likely to have greater stability generally in all aspects of life i.e. family, work, accomplishing personal goals etc.

Heroin: High quality Heroin is available from gram to kilogram quantities throughout the state. Historically, New York has been the primary source area, entering by interstate highway via publicly and privately operated vehicles equipped with hidden compartments. In the past few years, there has been an increase in Heroin seizures where the Heroin came directly from a source country. The primary suppliers are of Colombian and Dominican origin, with retail distribution among all ethnic groups. Heroin distribution and use occurs throughout the state and prices remain extremely low at both the wholesale and retail level. Abuse is widespread, with continued reports of Heroin overdose deaths and incidents attributed to Heroin purity levels routinely exceeding 60 percent.

Club Drugs: In the state of Massachusetts, MDMA and ketamine are readily available. MDMA is found at rave parties, legitimate nightclubs, and on college campuses across the state. The majority of the MDMA seen in the state originated from couriers traveling by commercial airlines or express mail deliveries from sources in western Europe and New York. A number of seizures have involved MDMA originating from Canada. Ketamine has been diverted from legitimate sources such as veterinary clinics and abused at legitimate nightclubs across the state, particularly in the greater Boston area. Ketamine seems to be one of several drugs, along with MDMA and GHB, that are popular in the “rave” scene. GHB is widely available, particularly in western Massachusetts.

Marijuana: Marijuana remains readily available in all areas of the state with the majority of product originating in Mexico or the southwestern United States; however, Marijuana of both Colombian and Jamaican origin has been encountered. Personal use quantities of hashish continue to arrive in Boston on flights from the Netherlands and other source countries. The majority of the Marijuana is predominantly imported from the southwest border via aircraft, land vehicles, and delivery services. Domestically grown Marijuana is found in all areas of Massachusetts, from the extreme western part of the state all the way out to Nantucket Island.

Other Drugs: Oxycodone products continue to be diverted in the state. Percocet®, Roxicet® and OxyContin® are readily available in Massachusetts.

This program was conceived in 1999 in response to the threat posed by drug trafficking organizations that have established networks of cells to conduct drug trafficking operations in smaller, non-traditional trafficking locations in the United States. As of January 31, 2005, there have been 27 deployments nationwide, and one deployment in the U.S. Virgin Islands, resulting in 671 arrests.
