There may not be a straightforward 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 treatment facility that works for everyone. Northport has many different types of rehab programs, each suited to different types of patients. The most popular types of rehab centers offered in Northport are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious based treatments of addiction. Each unique type of rehabilitation provides a variety of advantages to different kinds of patients.
Northport's inpatient rehab centers can be considered a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most extensive type of rehab center available and they can tackle the issues surrounding withdrawal and detox, as well as any psychiatric issues such as anxiety and depression that typically occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehabilitation is especially effective for people who've been suffering with long term addiction, although even shorter-term addicts may find that a 30 day stay is enough to fully address the problem and get a new start.
Outpatient rehab programs allow the person 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 support 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 patients who have already finished an inpatient treatment program and just need additional support for their recovery.
Traditional treatments are usually based on the 12 step approach and traditions. Since 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 integrate different elements of treatment. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings on a daily basis.
Holistic rehab programs are most commonly inpatient programs that involve the whole spectrum of treatment approaches, 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 health and good nutrition as well as strategies of improving psychological health. These programs have been proven to be incredibly effective in the long term.
Religious drug rehabilitation programs incorporate a heavy emphasis on religiously-oriented spiritual healing and health, as well as the medical and therapeutic options of holistic and traditional drug rehab programs. They can be 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. Northport is home to various religiously oriented drug rehabilitation programs. The majority of Christian drug rehab programs tend to focus on the 12 step approach due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
