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 addiction rehab program that works for every person. Westerly has some various types of rehab programs, each suited to different kinds of patients. The most popular types of rehabs available in Westerly are inpatient and outpatient programs, traditional treatments, holistic drug rehabs, and religious treatments of addiction. Each different kind of rehabilitation provides a variety of advantages to different kinds of patients.
Westerly's inpatient drug rehab centers can be considered a gold standard of drug rehab. These programs are the most comprehensive type of rehab center offered and they can address the issues of withdrawal and detox, as well as any mental and emotional issues from disorders like anxiety and depression that frequently occur with addiction.
Inpatient treatment is especially beneficial for people 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 services enable the person 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 assistance with psychological and medical problems have to be separately addressed with an outpatient rehab program.
Outpatient rehabilitation centers are therefore recommended more for individuals who have short-term addictions as well as for people who have already finished an inpatient rehab program and just need support for their recovery.
Traditional treatment programs are generally based on the 12 step approach and traditions. Because 12 step meetings are free, universal, and based in the community, many patients feel that starting their recovery process with one of these programs is very beneficial. Different traditional treatment programs have different ideas. 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 treatment programs are usually inpatient programs that involve 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 approaches of improving psychological and emotional health. These programs have been proven to be incredibly 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 treatment programs. They're particularly effective with people who were brought up to believe in a particular religion and feel that going back to their religious roots would help with healing their addiction. Westerly is home to various religiously oriented drug rehab programs. The majority of Christian drug rehab programs tend to incorporate the 12 step approach due to its belief in the influence of a "higher power".
