Yes. The process of addiction recovery is very complicated and requires the help of trained professionals. Also, the entire recovery process requires a high level of commitment, which is more possible in the supervised atmosphere of a drug rehab center.

Going to a rehab facility in Columbia will let the patient mingle with people suffering from similar or worse cases of addiction. This gives patients hope and assurance that they are not alone.

How Long Is A Drug Rehab In Columbia?

The time frame of a drug rehabilitation center depends on the type and seriousness of addiction and on the willingness of the addict to work with the program. A simple detox program takes approximately three days . However, cleansing the body of existing drugs is not the only goal of a rehabilitation center.

The main motive of any rehab facility in Columbia is to ensure that the person is drug-free, and able to live a productive and healthy life with little or no chance of a relapse. There is no distinct time limit to drug treatment, it depends on the individual. Some might find it beneficial to participate in meetings and support groups long after their stay in the rehab. Others might choose to discontinue the program after detoxification and recovery from painful withdrawal symptoms.

Many rehab centers in Columbia offer either short term treatment or long term programs. In short term treatment programs, the addict lives in the rehabilitation facility for a period of one or two months. During this time, the patient undergoes a complete detoxification and is educated about addiction and how it occurs. The patient receives training on handling stress, peer pressure and is encouraged to talk about personal issues. A short term rehab program is more effective than solely a three day detox, and greatly lowers the chance of a relapse.

A long term residential treatment facility stretches for three months to a year or more. Usually addicts prone to relapses are recommended for such a program. This facility encourages addicts to live independently by letting them take part in household responsibilities, learn vocational skills while also participating in group therapy. Living in a long term rehabilitation program acclimatizes addicts with the idea of adjusting in normal society after the rehab program. Such facilities are designed to lower the rate of relapses.

Conclusion

An ideally suited drug rehabilitation program should treat a patient's addiction, as well as take steps to prevent relapses. Along with therapy it is important that addicts be treated with respect and care to help encourage them through the program.
