There may not be a simple cure for drug addiction and alcoholism, but medical professionals are sure of one thing: there's no such thing as an one-size-fits-all drug addiction rehab program that works for everyone. Mer Rouge has several various types of rehab programs, each directed toward different kinds of patients. The most popular kinds of rehab centers available in Mer Rouge 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.
Mer Rouge's inpatient drug rehab centers can be regarded as a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most thorough form of rehab center offered and they can address the issues encompassing detox and withdrawal, as well as any psychiatric issues from disorders like depression and anxiety that frequently occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehabilitation is especially beneficial for those who've been living with long term addiction, though even shorter-term addicts may find that a 30 - 60 day stay is enough to wipe the problem and fully recover.
Outpatient rehab programs allow the person to continue going to work or school, but because the program is outpatient it's easier for the patient to relapse. Detoxification services as well as assistance with psychological and medical problems have to be separately addressed with an outpatient rehab program.
Outpatient rehab programs are therefore recommended more for individuals who have short-term addictions as well as for people who have completed an inpatient rehabilitation program and just need support for their recovery.
Traditional treatments are usually based on the 12 step approach and traditions. Since 12 step meetings are free, universal, and based in the community, many people find that starting 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 treatment programs are typically 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 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 treatment 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 helpful with patients who were brought up to have faith in a particular religion and feel that going back to their religious roots would help with healing their addiction. Mer Rouge is home to various religiously oriented drug rehab programs. Most Christian drug rehabs tend to focus on the 12 step method due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
