There may not be a straightforward cure for drug addiction and alcoholism, but medical professionals are certain of one thing: there's no such thing as an one-size-fits-all drug addiction rehab center that works for everybody. Waukon has some different types of rehab programs, each suited to different types of patients. The most preferred kinds of rehabs available in Waukon are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious treatments of addiction. Each different type of rehabilitation offers a variety of advantages to different kinds of patients.
Waukon's inpatient drug 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 handle the issues of detox and withdrawal, as well as any psychiatric issues such as depression and anxiety that commonly occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehabilitation is particularly beneficial for people who've been living with long term addiction, although even shorter-term addicts may find that a 30 - 60 day stay is enough to wipe the problem and get a new start.
Outpatient rehab programs make it possible for the patient to continue going to school or to work, but because the program is outpatient it's easier for the patient to relapse. Detoxification services as well as support with psychological and medical problems have to be separately addressed with an outpatient rehab program.
Outpatient treatment programs are therefore recommended more for people who have short-term addictions as well as for people who have completed an inpatient treatment program and just need support for their recovery.
Traditional treatments are typically based on the 12 step approach and traditions. Because 12 step meetings are free, universal, and based in the community, many patients feel that beginning their recovery process with one of these programs is very beneficial. Different traditional treatment programs have different ideas. Some concentrate on just the 12-step approach, while others integrate different aspects of therapy. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings every day.
Holistic treatment programs are usually inpatient programs that incorporate the whole spectrum of treatment options, from 12-step ideology, psychological treatment, medical care, to alternative therapy like acupuncture and yoga. These programs tend to focus on whole body well being and good nutrition as well as approaches of improving psychological and emotional health. These programs have been proven to be extremely successful in the long term.
Religious drug treatment programs incorporate 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 have faith in a particular religion and feel that going back to their religious roots would help with treating their addiction. Waukon is home to various religiously oriented drug rehab programs. The majority of Christian drug rehabs have a tendency to focus on the 12 step approach due to its belief in a "higher power".
