There may not be a straightforward 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 everyone. Bath has several various types of rehab programs, each directed toward different kinds of patients. The most preferred types of rehabs offered in Bath are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious treatments of addiction. Each distinct type of treatment provides a variety of benefits to different kinds of patients.
Bath's inpatient drug rehab centers can be considered a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most comprehensive type of rehab center available and they can deal with the issues of detox and withdrawal, as well as any psychiatric issues such as depression and anxiety that typically occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehab is particularly 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 wipe the problem and fully recover.
Outpatient rehab programs make it possible for the patient to keep 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 assistance with psychological and medical problems have to be separately addressed with an outpatient rehab program.
Outpatient rehab centers 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 treatment programs are usually based on the 12 step programs and traditions. Since 12 step meetings are free, universal, and based in the community, many people feel that starting their recovery process with one of these programs is very beneficial. Different traditional treatment programs have different principles. 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 every day.
Holistic treatment programs are usually 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 acupuncture and yoga. These programs tend to concentrate on whole body health and good nutrition as well as methods 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'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 healing their addiction. Bath is home to various religiously oriented drug treatment programs. Most Christian drug rehabs tend to incorporate the 12 step method due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
