Drug Addiction Rehabilitation: Tailoring The Treatment To The Need
from:by Judy Wellsworth
The intensity of drug addiction rehabilitation required by different addicts will vary according to the severity of their addictions. When addicts admit themselves, or are forcibly admitted, to drug addiction rehabilitation facilities, their physical conditions are evaluated so that an appropriate treatment can be determined. There are different drug addiction rehabilitation programs designed to treat the different levels of addiction.Outpatient Treatmenr and DetoxThere are, at the lowest level of drug addiction rehabilitation, intervention and short duration programs, which do not involve any physical treatment. They include court-ordered attendance at classes on the dangers of driving while intoxicated or visits to rehab units for teens caught using drugs or alcohol who has not yet become addicts. They are designed to steer people off the road to addiction before they have traveled to far down it.Detoxification is the second level of drug addiction rehabilitation; just the opposite of short-term intervention, detoxification treats only the physical nature of addiction. The addict is admitted to a facility, remains until he or she is free of the effects of whatever substances caused the admission, and is released. Inpatient TreatmentThe most comprehensive of all the drug addiction rehabilitation programs is inpatient treatment. Inpatient drug addiction rehabilitation requires addicts to take up residence in the facility where they receive their treatment, and the amount of time they stay will depend on how hard they work on confronting their addictions and learning healthier patterns of behavior. Inpatient drug addiction rehabilitation will first include detoxification, with or without the use of sedatives and pain medications; their inclusion will depend both on whether the addict’s system can handle any more chemicals, and whether those running the program believe going “cold turkey” when withdrawing is the best deterrent to future substance abuse.Once the detoxification is over, the addicts will spend their days learning to take responsibility by having jobs assigned to them; going to individual and group counseling sessions, and getting at the emotional causes underlying their dependencies. The process can last for a month of for a year, depending on the severity of the addiction. Inpatient drug addiction rehabilitation is a last resort.Therapeutic techniques in inpatient facilities may include journaling so that the addicts can learn both self-observation skills and how to recognize the situations in which their cravings for drugs are triggered.Choosing the appropriate drug addiction rehabilitation is a matter of balancing the severity of the addiction with the addict’s desire for recovery.
