Going to a rehab facility in La Junta 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 Does it Take to Complete A Drug Rehab In La Junta?

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

The main goal of any rehab facility in La Junta is to make certain that the patient is free from drugs, and able to live a productive and healthy life without risk of a relapse. There is no exact time limit to drug treatment, it depends on the individual. Some individuals in recovery find it helpful 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 La Junta offer either short term treatment or long term residential treatment. In short term treatment, the addict lives in the rehabilitation facility for a period of one or two months. During this time, the patient goes through a complete detoxification and is educated about addiction and its various causes. The patient receives training on handling peer pressure, stress and is encouraged to talk about personal issues. A short term residential program is more effective than solely a three day detox, and greatly minimizes the chance of a relapse.

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

In Closing

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