There may not be a simple cure for alcohol or drug addiction, but medical professionals are sure of one thing: there's no such thing as an one-size-fits-all drug treatment center that works for every person. St. Gabriel has several various types of rehab programs, each directed toward different types of patients. The most preferred types of rehab centers offered in St. Gabriel are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious treatments of addiction. Each unique type of treatment offers a variety of advantages to different kinds of patients.
St. Gabriel's inpatient drug rehab centers can be regarded as a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most extensive form of rehab center offered and they can handle the issues encompassing detox and withdrawal, as well as any psychiatric issues from disorders like anxiety and depression that frequently occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehabilitation is particularly effective for those 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 get a new start.
Outpatient rehab programs make it possible for the patient to continue going to work or school, but since the program is outpatient it's easier for the patient to relapse. Detox facilities as well as support 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 patients who have already finished an inpatient treatment program and just need support for their recovery.
Traditional treatment programs are typically based on the 12 step approach and traditions. Given that 12 step meetings are free, universal, and based in the community, many patients find that beginning 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 integrate different aspects of therapy. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings on a daily basis.
Holistic treatment programs are usually inpatient programs that include the whole spectrum of treatment options, from 12-step ideology, psychological treatment, medical care, to alternative therapy like yoga and acupuncture. These programs have a tendency to concentrate on whole body health and good nutrition as well as approaches of improving psychological and emotional 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 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 believe in a particular religion and feel that going back to their religious roots would help with healing their addiction. St. Gabriel is home to a number of different religiously oriented drug rehab programs. The majority of Christian drug rehab programs tend to incorporate the 12 step method due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
