There may not be a simple cure for alcohol or drug addiction, but medical professionals are sure of one thing: there's no such thing as an one-size-fits-all drug rehab center that works for everyone. Granite City has several different types of rehab programs, each suited to different types of patients. The most preferred kinds of rehab centers available in Granite City are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious based treatments of addiction. Each unique type of rehabilitation offers a variety of benefits to different kinds of patients.
Granite City's inpatient treatment centers can be regarded as a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most thorough form of rehab center offered and they can handle the issues surrounding withdrawal and detox, as well as any mental and emotional issues from disorders like depression and anxiety that commonly occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehab is particularly helpful for those 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 fully recover.
Outpatient rehab programs enable the person to continue going to work or school, but since the program is done on an outpatient basis it's easier for the patient to relapse. Detox facilities as well as support with psychological and medical problems have to be separately addressed with an outpatient rehab program.
Outpatient treatment centers are therefore recommended more for people who have short-term addictions as well as for people who have completed an inpatient rehabilitation program and just need additional support for their recovery.
Traditional treatments are usually based on the 12 step programs and traditions. Given that 12 step meetings are free, universal, and based in the community, many patients feel that beginning their recovery process with one of these programs can be helpful. Different traditional treatment programs have different ideas. Some focus on just the 12-step ideology, while others integrate 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 involve 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 have a tendency to concentrate 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 programs 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 helpful with patients who were raised to believe in a particular religion and feel that going back to their religious roots would help with healing their addiction. Granite City is home to various religiously oriented drug rehab programs. Most Christian drug rehabs tend to focus on the 12 step method due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
