There may not be an easy absolute 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 everyone. Stratford has several various types of rehab programs, each directed toward different types of patients. The most common kinds of rehabs available in Stratford are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious based treatments of addiction. Each different kind of treatment provides a variety of benefits to different kinds of patients.
Stratford'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 offered and they can address the issues surrounding detox and withdrawal, as well as any mental and emotional issues from disorders like anxiety and depression that typically occur with addiction.
Inpatient rehab is especially effective for people who've been struggling with long term addiction, though 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 centers allow the patient to keep going to school or to work, 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 individuals who have short-term addictions as well as for patients who have already finished an inpatient rehabilitation 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 people find that starting their recovery process with one of these programs is very helpful. Different traditional treatment programs have different ideas. Some concentrate on just the 12-step ideology, while others incorporate different elements of therapy. Patients benefit most from these programs when they attend meetings every day.
Holistic treatment programs are typically inpatient programs that include the whole spectrum of treatment options, 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 methods of improving emotional health. These programs have been proven to be extremely effective in the long term.
Religious drug rehab centers incorporate 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 people who were raised to believe in a particular religion and feel that going back to their religious roots would help with treating their addiction. Stratford is home to a number of different religiously oriented drug rehab programs. Most Christian drug rehab programs have a tendency to incorporate the 12 step method due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
