There may not be a straightforward 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 rehabilitation center that works for everyone. Leitchfield has many different types of rehab programs, each directed toward different types of patients. The most common kinds of rehabs available in Leitchfield are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious based treatments of addiction. Each different type of treatment provides a variety of advantages to different kinds of patients.
Leitchfield's inpatient treatment programs can be considered a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most comprehensive form of rehab center available and they can tackle the issues of detox and withdrawal, as well as any psychiatric issues from disorders like anxiety and depression that typically occur with addiction.
Inpatient treatment is particularly effective for people who've been suffering with long term addiction, though even shorter-term addicts may find that a 30 - 60 day stay is enough to fully address the problem and fully recover.
Outpatient rehab programs enable the patient to continue going to work or school, but because the program is outpatient it's easier for the patient to relapse. Detox services as well as support with psychological and medical problems have to be separately addressed with an outpatient rehab program.
Outpatient treatment programs are therefore recommended more for individuals who have short-term addictions as well as for patients who have already finished an inpatient treatment program and just need support for their recovery.
Traditional treatment programs are typically based on the 12 step approach and traditions. Because 12 step meetings are free, universal, and based in the community, many patients find that starting their recovery process with one of these programs is very helpful. Different traditional treatment programs have different principles. Some focus on just the 12-step ideology, while others incorporate different elements of treatment. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings on a daily basis.
Holistic treatment programs are usually inpatient programs that include the whole spectrum of treatment approaches, 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 health and good nutrition as well as methods of improving psychological and emotional health. These programs have been proven to be extremely successful in the long term.
Religious drug treatment centers integrate 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 patients who were brought up to believe in a particular religion and feel that going back to their religious roots would help with treating their addiction. Leitchfield is home to various religiously oriented drug rehabilitation programs. Most Christian drug rehabs tend to incorporate the 12 step method due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
