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 center that works for everybody. Newington has some different types of rehab programs, each suited to different types of patients. The most popular types of rehabs offered in Newington are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious based treatments of addiction. Each unique kind of rehabilitation provides a variety of benefits to different kinds of patients.
Newington's inpatient treatment programs can be considered a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most thorough type of rehab center offered and they can address the issues surrounding detox and withdrawal, as well as any psychiatric issues such as depression and anxiety that frequently occur with addiction.
Inpatient treatment is especially helpful for individuals who've been suffering with long term addiction, although even shorter-term addicts may find that a 30 - 60 day stay is enough to fully address the problem and fully recover.
Outpatient rehab programs make it possible for the patient to keep going to school or to work, but due to the fact the program is done on an outpatient basis it's easier for the patient to relapse. Detoxification facilities as well as assistance with psychological and medical problems have to be separately addressed with an outpatient rehab program.
Outpatient treatment programs are therefore recommended more for individuals who have short-term addictions as well as for patients who have already finished an inpatient rehab program and just need additional support for their recovery.
Traditional treatments are generally based on the 12 step programs and traditions. Because 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 helpful. Different traditional treatment programs have different principles. Some focus on just the 12-step ideology, while others incorporate different aspects of therapy. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings every day.
Holistic rehab 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 focus on whole body health and good nutrition as well as strategies of improving psychological health. These programs have been proven to be incredibly 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 rehab programs. They're particularly 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 treating their addiction. Newington is home to various religiously oriented drug rehab programs. Most Christian drug rehab programs tend to focus on the 12 step approach due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
