There may not be a simple cure for drug addiction and alcoholism, but medical professionals are sure of one thing: there's no such thing as an one-size-fits-all drug rehab facility that works for every person. Abingdon has several various types of rehab programs, each suited to different types of patients. The most preferred kinds of rehab centers available in Abingdon are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious based treatments of addiction. Each different kind of rehabilitation provides a variety of advantages to different kinds of patients.
Abingdon's inpatient drug rehab centers can be considered a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most thorough form of rehab center available and they can tackle the issues surrounding withdrawal and detox, as well as any psychiatric issues from disorders like anxiety and depression that typically occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehab is especially helpful for people who've been living with long term addiction, although even shorter-term addicts may find that a 30 day stay is enough to fully address the problem and fully recover.
Outpatient rehab services enable the person to continue going to school or to work, but due to the fact the program is outpatient it's easier for the patient to relapse. Detox facilities as well as assistance with psychological and medical problems have to be separately addressed with an outpatient rehab program.
Outpatient rehab centers are therefore recommended more for people who have short-term addictions as well as for patients who have completed an inpatient treatment program and just need additional support for their recovery.
Traditional treatment programs are generally based on the 12 step programs and traditions. Given that 12 step meetings are free, universal, and based in the community, many people find that beginning their recovery process with one of these programs is very helpful. Different traditional treatment programs have different ideas. Some focus on just the 12-step approach, while others integrate different aspects of therapy. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings on a daily basis.
Holistic treatment programs are typically inpatient programs that incorporate the whole spectrum of treatment options, from 12-step ideology, psychological treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy, medical care, to alternative therapy like acupuncture and yoga. These programs have a tendency to focus on whole body well being and good nutrition as well as approaches of improving psychological health. These programs have been proven to be incredibly successful in the long term.
Religious drug rehabilitation centers incorporate a heavy emphasis on religiously-oriented spiritual health and healing, as well as the medical and therapeutic options of holistic and traditional drug treatment programs. They can be effective with people who were brought up to believe in a particular religion and feel that going back to their religious roots would help with healing their addiction. Abingdon is home to various religiously oriented drug rehabilitation programs. Most Christian drug rehab programs tend to incorporate the 12 step approach due to its belief in a "higher power".
