For someone suffering from drug or alcohol addiction, seeking addiction treatment as early as possible in the disease process is imperative. Many substance abuse treatment models conceptualize the illness as a progressive one, and the longer substance abuse continues, the greater the risk of catastrophic health and personal consequences.
Luckily, most major health insurances now recognize substance abuse treatment as essential, so drug rehab or alcohol rehab should be relatively affordable to most people with the help of payment assistance of their public or private health insurance.
Some charity and government organizations offer other forms of payment assistance, and your drug or alcohol treatment center may also be willing to work with you to provide you or a loved one with necessary medical care for your addiction at a price affordable to your family.
Depending on the extent of an individual’s substance abuse and the substance abused, addiction treatment may begin with treating the physical aspect of the disorder with medical detox.
A supervised drug detox will ensure that withdrawal symptoms are managed as efficiently as possible. Medical supervision is especially critical given that withdrawal symptoms associated with alcohol detox and benzodiazepine detox can sometimes cause a medical emergency, while other forms of drug withdrawal can simply be so intensely unpleasant that it drives them back to their addiction.
After drug or alcohol detox, drug addiction treatment will usually continue in either inpatient rehab or in outpatient treatment programs. In an inpatient rehab center, also known as a residential treatment program, patients are required to be under medical supervision full time at their addiction treatment centers. However, outpatient treatment programs allow patients to live at home while seeking addiction treatment.
In the most intensive outpatient treatment options, a partial hospitalization program, addiction treatment is provided via as many as eight hours a day spent at treatment centers on as many as five days a week.
These treatment programs can offer similar treatment services to those offered at residential drug rehab or alcohol rehab, but are typically far less expensive than inpatient rehab centers. They also pose far less of an impediment to patients seeking to continue working, continue carrying out other responsibilities, or live an overall more normal life while in an addiction recovery program.
At the center of the treatment program in most rehab centers is behavioral therapy. These treatment options can help treat the symptoms of co occurring disorders as well as substance abuse issues by paving the way for overall emotional health.
Dual diagnosis, which occurs when a patient presents with both substance abuse and another mental health problem, is relatively common among people who struggle with substance use. Combatting these underlying issues with appropriate psychological or medical care is critical to achieving long term recovery from addiction.
Evidence based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy are the most common forms of treatment offered for drug and alcohol addiction, though newer forms are also often emerging into the ever changing substance addiction treatment landscape.
Treatment options like these work by teaching patients coping mechanisms that they can use to deal with negative feelings instead of resorting to substance abuse, which in turn will lead them to greater emotional regulation and greater distress tolerance.
Therapies like these can also increase well being by improving patients’ communication skills, which in turn will improve their relationships and help them to reframe and replace automatic negative thoughts and feelings that may have fueled their drug addiction.
Other common recovery services include group therapy, which gives patients the chance to heal by helping them to connect with others who share their experiences of drug addiction, which in turn helps inspire recovery by combating the loneliness and self hatred often associated with this deadly disease.
