There may not be an easy absolute 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 treatment facility that works for everyone. West Hempstead has several different types of rehab programs, each directed toward different types of patients. The most popular kinds of rehabs offered in West Hempstead are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious based treatments of addiction. Each distinct type of rehabilitation offers a variety of benefits to different kinds of patients.
West Hempstead's inpatient drug rehab programs can be considered a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most thorough type of rehab center available and they can deal with the issues of withdrawal and detox, as well as any mental and emotional issues such as depression and anxiety that typically occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehabilitation is especially effective for people who've been struggling 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 services make it possible for the person 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 services as well as support with psychological and medical problems have to be separately addressed with an outpatient rehab program.
Outpatient rehabilitation programs are therefore recommended more for individuals who have short-term addictions as well as for people who have completed an inpatient rehab program and just need support for their recovery.
Traditional treatments are typically based on the 12 step approach 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 can be beneficial. Different traditional treatment programs have different ideas. Some focus on just the 12-step approach, while others incorporate different elements of treatment. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings every day.
Holistic rehab programs are usually 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 tend to focus on whole body health and good nutrition as well as approaches of improving emotional health. These programs have been proven to be extremely effective in the long term.
Religious drug rehab centers integrate 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 people who were raised to believe in a particular religion and feel that going back to their religious roots would help with treating their addiction. West Hempstead is home to various religiously oriented drug rehab programs. Most Christian drug rehab programs tend to focus on the 12 step approach due to its belief in a "higher power".
