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 everyone. Shenandoah has several different types of rehab programs, each suited to different types of patients. The most popular kinds of rehab centers available in Shenandoah are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious based treatments of addiction. Each unique type of treatment provides a variety of advantages to different kinds of patients.
Shenandoah's inpatient alcohol and drug treatment programs can be considered a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most extensive form of rehab center offered and they can deal with the issues surrounding withdrawal and detox, as well as any psychiatric issues from disorders like depression and anxiety that frequently occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehab is especially helpful for those who've been suffering with long term addiction, though even shorter-term addicts may find that a 30 - 60 day stay is enough to fully address the problem and get a new start.
Outpatient rehab centers enable the patient to keep going to school or to work, but since the program is done on an outpatient basis it's easier for the patient to relapse. Detox facilities as well as assistance with psychological and medical problems have to be separately addressed with an outpatient rehab program.
Outpatient treatment programs are therefore recommended more for individuals who have short-term addictions as well as for people who have already finished an inpatient treatment 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 patients find that beginning 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 approach, while others incorporate different aspects of treatment. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings on a daily basis.
Holistic treatment programs are typically inpatient programs that include 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 have a tendency to concentrate on whole body health and good nutrition as well as methods of improving psychological and emotional health. These programs have been proven to be extremely successful in the long term.
Religious drug treatment centers integrate a heavy emphasis on religiously-oriented spiritual health and healing, as well as the medical and therapeutic options of holistic and traditional drug treatment programs. They can be helpful with patients 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. Shenandoah is home to a number of different religiously oriented drug treatment programs. Most Christian drug rehabs tend to incorporate the 12 step approach due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
