There may not be an easy absolute 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 rehabilitation facility that works for every person. Americus has several various types of rehab programs, each suited to different types of patients. The most popular types of rehabs available in Americus are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious based treatments of addiction. Each distinct kind of treatment provides a variety of benefits to different kinds of patients.
Americus's inpatient alcohol and drug treatment centers can be considered a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most extensive form of rehab center offered and they can tackle the issues surrounding withdrawal and detox, as well as any psychiatric issues from disorders like depression and anxiety that commonly occur with addiction.
Inpatient treatment is especially effective 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 wipe the problem and get a new start.
Outpatient rehab programs make it possible for the person to continue going to school or to work, but since 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 rehabilitation program and just need additional support for their recovery.
Traditional treatments are typically based on the 12 step approach and traditions. Since 12 step meetings are free, universal, and based in the community, many patients find that starting their recovery process with one of these programs is very helpful. Different traditional treatment programs have different ideas. Some concentrate on just the 12-step approach, while others integrate different aspects of treatment. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings on a daily basis.
Holistic treatment programs are most commonly inpatient programs that include the whole spectrum of treatment options, from 12-step ideology, psychological treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy, medical care, to alternative therapy like acupuncture and yoga. These programs have a tendency to focus on whole body well being and good nutrition as well as strategies of improving psychological and emotional health. These programs have been proven to be incredibly successful in the long term.
Religious drug rehab 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're particularly effective with people who were brought up to believe in a particular religion and feel that going back to their religious roots would help with treating their addiction. Americus is home to a number of different religiously oriented drug treatment programs. Most Christian drug rehab programs have a tendency to incorporate the 12 step approach due to its belief in a "higher power".
