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 treatment program that works for every person. Chelmsford has some various types of rehab programs, each directed toward different types of patients. The most popular types of rehabs available in Chelmsford are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious based treatments of addiction. Each unique kind of treatment offers a variety of advantages to different kinds of patients.
Chelmsford's inpatient rehab centers can be regarded as a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most thorough type of rehab center offered and they can handle the issues surrounding detox and withdrawal, as well as any psychiatric issues such as depression and anxiety that frequently occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehabilitation is especially helpful for people who've been living with long term addiction, though even shorter-term addicts may find that a 30 - 60 day stay is enough to wipe the problem and get a new start.
Outpatient rehab programs enable the patient to continue going to work or school, but due to the fact the program is outpatient it's easier for the patient to relapse. Detox services as well as assistance with psychological and medical problems have to be separately addressed with an outpatient rehab program.
Outpatient treatment centers are therefore suggested more for individuals who have short-term addictions as well as for people who have completed an inpatient rehabilitation program and just need support for their recovery.
Traditional treatments 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 feel that starting their recovery process with one of these programs is very beneficial. Different traditional treatment programs have different ideas. Some concentrate on just the 12-step ideology, while others incorporate different elements of therapy. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings on a daily basis.
Holistic rehab programs are usually inpatient programs that involve the whole spectrum of treatment options, from 12-step ideology, psychological treatment, medical care, to alternative therapy like yoga and acupuncture. These programs have a tendency to focus on whole body health and good nutrition as well as strategies of improving psychological and emotional health. These programs have been proven to be incredibly effective in the long term.
Religious drug rehab 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 rehab programs. They're particularly effective with people who were brought up to have faith in a particular religion and feel that going back to their religious roots would help with healing their addiction. Chelmsford is home to a number of different religiously oriented drug rehabilitation programs. Most Christian drug rehabs have a tendency to focus on the 12 step approach due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
