There may not be a simple 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. East Providence has several various types of rehab programs, each suited to different types of patients. The most preferred types of rehabs available in East Providence are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious treatments of addiction. Each different kind of treatment provides a variety of benefits to different kinds of patients.
East Providence's inpatient alcohol and drug treatment centers can be regarded as a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most extensive form of rehab center available and they can deal with the issues surrounding withdrawal and detox, as well as any psychiatric issues such as depression and anxiety that typically occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehab is especially helpful for individuals 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 allow the patient to continue going to work or school, 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 treatment program and just need additional support for their recovery.
Traditional treatment programs are usually based on the 12 step programs and traditions. Because 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 beneficial. Different traditional treatment programs have different principles. Some focus on just the 12-step ideology, while others incorporate different elements of treatment. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings every day.
Holistic treatment programs are most commonly inpatient programs that incorporate 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 have a tendency 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 rehabilitation programs 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 effective with people who were raised to believe in a particular religion and feel that going back to their religious roots would help with healing their addiction. East Providence is home to various religiously oriented drug rehab programs. Most Christian drug rehab programs tend to focus on the 12 step method due to its belief in a "higher power".
