Drug rehab programs should help a person with more than one aspect of drug dependency: physical dependency on the drug or alcohol and psychological dependency as well.

Physical dependency addiction treatment often requires a detoxification process to assist a person in the initial withdrawal from the drug or alcohol by helping the individual avoid or make less the symptoms associated with ceasing to use the substance. When a person uses many drugs, legal or otherwise, their bodies become literally dependent on the substance for normal functioning. When the person ceases to use the substance they become sick, lethargic or in some cases can undergo seizures etc. This is a critical process that must be monitored and assisted by professionals who know how to get the person through this withdrawal in a safe and least painful manor, thereby reinforcing the continuation of addiction treatment. A proper drug rehab facility will ensure this level of care and will cut what could be weeks of withdrawal down to a very short and tolerable period of time so that the individual can begin the addiction treatment process successfully.

Psychological dependency should be addressed fully and completely in any reputable drug rehab program including the improvement of the individual’s basic life skills, handling the pain and upsets of the past so that they aren’t used in the present to motivate relapse as well as a general improvement in the person’s ability to spot where they went wrong in life leading them to drug and alcohol use while giving the person tools to handle these type situations successfully without using more drugs. This portion of addiction treatment can last from 28 days to 6 months or longer and there is a huge variety of approaches to helping a person overcome the hurdles associated with psychological dependence.

There are various types of drug rehab facilities with regards to length of stay and commitment degrees. There are residential treatment which are classically in-patient facilities, there are out-patient where a person undergoes treatment during set periods of the day and then returns home to maintain their current life style, addiction support groups such as AA and NA where the individual meets on a regular basis with others attempting to handle their addiction and sober houses of various degrees of commitment and length of stay. We will help you sort through the myriad of drug rehab options available to identify which one will exactly fit your specific needs.
