There may not be a simple cure for alcohol or drug addiction, but medical professionals are certain of one thing: there's no such thing as an one-size-fits-all drug rehabilitation facility that works for everybody. Bethesda has some various types of rehab programs, each directed toward different types of patients. The most common kinds of rehabs available in Bethesda 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.
Bethesda's inpatient alcohol and drug treatment centers can be regarded as a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most comprehensive form of rehab center available and they can deal with the issues surrounding withdrawal and detox, as well as any psychiatric issues from disorders like anxiety and depression that frequently occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehab is particularly helpful for individuals who've been struggling with long term addiction, although even shorter-term addicts may find that a 30 - 60 day stay is enough to fully address the problem and get a new start.
Outpatient rehab services enable the patient to continue going to work or school, but due to the fact the program is done on an outpatient basis it's easier for the patient to relapse. Detoxification facilities as well as assistance with psychological and medical problems have to be separately addressed with an outpatient rehab program.
Outpatient rehab programs are therefore recommended more for people who have short-term addictions as well as for patients who have completed an inpatient rehabilitation 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 feel 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 aspects of therapy. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings every day.
Holistic treatment programs are most commonly inpatient programs that include the whole spectrum of treatment options, from 12-step ideology, psychological treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy, medical care, to alternative therapy like yoga and acupuncture. These programs tend to focus on whole body well being and good nutrition as well as methods of improving psychological and emotional health. These programs have been proven to be incredibly effective 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 rehab programs. They're particularly 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 healing their addiction. Bethesda is home to a number of different religiously oriented drug rehabilitation programs. Most Christian drug rehab programs tend to focus on the 12 step approach due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
