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 rehabilitation program that works for every person. Middlebury has several various types of rehab programs, each directed toward different kinds of patients. The most common types of rehab centers available in Middlebury are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious based treatments of addiction. Each unique kind of treatment provides a variety of advantages to different kinds of patients.
Middlebury's inpatient alcohol and drug treatment centers can be regarded as a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most thorough type of rehab center offered and they can handle 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 particularly helpful for those who've been living 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 centers allow the patient to keep going to work or school, but because 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 treatment centers are therefore recommended more for people who have short-term addictions as well as for patients who have completed an inpatient rehabilitation program and just need support for their recovery.
Traditional treatment programs are usually based on the 12 step programs and traditions. Given that 12 step meetings are free, universal, and based in the community, many people feel that starting their recovery process with one of these programs can be helpful. Different traditional treatment programs have different ideas. Some focus on just the 12-step ideology, while others incorporate different elements of therapy. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings on a daily basis.
Holistic treatment programs are most commonly 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 yoga and acupuncture. These programs have a tendency to focus on whole body health and good nutrition as well as methods of improving psychological health. These programs have been proven to be extremely successful in the long term.
Religious drug rehab 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'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. Middlebury is home to various religiously oriented drug rehabilitation programs. The majority of Christian drug rehab programs have a tendency to incorporate the 12 step approach due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
