Drug rehabilitation is a multi-phase, multi-faceted, long term process. Detoxification is only the first step on the road of addiction treatment. Physical detoxification alone is not sufficient to change the patterns of a drug addict. Recovery from addiction involves an extended process which usually requires the help of drug addiction professionals. To make a successful recovery, the addict needs new tools in order to deal with situations and problems which arise. Factors such as encountering someone from their days of using, returning to the same environment and places, or even small things such as smells and objects trigger memories which can create psychological stress. This can hinder the addict's goal of complete recovery, thus not allowing the addict to permanently regain control of his or her life.
Almost all addicts tell themselves in the beginning that they can conquer their addiction on their own without the help of outside resources. Unfortunately, this is not usually the case. When an addict makes an attempt at detoxification and to discontinue drug use without the aid of professional help, statistically the results do not last long. Research into the effects of long-term addiction has shown that substantial changes in the way the brain functions are present long after the addict has stopped using drugs. Realizing that a drug addict who wishes to recover from their addiction needs more than just strong will power is the key to a successful recovery. Battling not only cravings for their drug of choice, re-stimulation of their past and changes in the way their brain functions, it is no wonder that quitting drugs without professional help is an uphill battle.
Drug Rehab, Wyoming, WY
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 rehab, perform
about the same in terms of their substance use as those who never attended a
drug rehab. Over the last 25 years, studies have shown that attending a drug
rehab works to reduce drug intake and crimes committed by drug-dependent people.
Researchers also have found that drug abusers who have been through a drug rehab
are more likely to have jobs.
Inpatient Drug Rehab, Wyoming, WY
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 rehab program; 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 a inpatient drug rehab.
Outpatient Drug Rehab, Wyoming, WY
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.
Alcohol Rehab, Wyoming, WY
Alcohol rehab is a place where an individual who has a drinking problem can
receive help. Rehab is a program that helps the individual with their alcohol
addiction and provides them with the tools necessary for a complete recovery.
Alcohol rehab works for many people who have problems with alcohol abuse. But
just like any other drug of abuse, the individual has to be committed to make
a change for the better. Some people stop drinking and remain sober. Others
have long periods of sobriety with bouts of relapse. And still others cannot
stop drinking for any length of time. With alcohol rehab, one thing is clear:
the longer a person abstains from alcohol, the more likely he or she will be
able to stay sober.
Drug Detox, Wyoming, WY
The goal of detox is to rid the body of toxins accumulated by drug use. The
first step of detox is drug withdrawal. Drug withdrawal is "the act or
process of ceasing to use an addictive drug." Once an individual has discontinued
using drugs physical and behavioral withdrawal symptoms may follow. Detox is
a process that helps diminish the uncomfortable symptoms of drug withdrawal.
Detox is performed in many different ways depending on where you decide to
receive treatment. Most detox centers simply provide treatment to avoid physical
withdrawal to alcohol & other drugs. A quality detox program will not only
to provide the individual with counseling during detox but help with the physical
withdrawal and the psychological root cause of the individual's addiction problem,
so as to decrease the chances of relapse.
Drug detox can be viewed in three separate stages:
1. Medical Detox: A medical doctor will need to supervise your medical withdrawal
from drugs, ensuring you complete this phase safely and with minimal complications.
Medical detox can take several days.
2. Physical Detox: Once your body is no longer dependent on drugs, you will
need to work on building up your physical health. A nutritionist can be helpful
during this phase, enabling you to develop a balanced diet to help you through
the rest of the detox process.
3. Emotional Detox: Detox can be extremely difficult on your emotional health,
which is why most treatment centers offer counseling during detox. Because drugs
have become an integral part of your mental, emotional and social life, you
will need emotional help as you detox.
