Addiction Treatment
Going to addiction treatment is a big decision that takes a lot of thought and consideration.
You may be concerned about how to cover the cost of therapy, what to bring with you, and what a typical day in rehab looks like. Fortunately, you can take a number of simple steps to ensure that you are well prepared for your rehab stay.
Recovery necessitates adjustment. This is not a hidden fact. At this time, you’re looking for a change. Anything is preferable to the lethargy that addiction brings. The habitual thoughts and acts that surround alcohol consumption, on the other hand, provide stability and comfort. Don’t let the fact that you’re venturing outside your comfort zone deter you from completing your recovery. You’ll start to think about change and life beyond treatment as you mentally prepare for it. You may be concerned about the future. It’s fine to be scared and worried. These are common responses to change. It’s not okay to let your fear take control and make you rethink your resolve to become better. Remember why you want to go to treatment to stay mentally prepared.
Intake And Admissions
The initial few days of treatment are spent helping the patient adjust to the program and informing the medical staff about the patient’s specific needs. In order to construct a successful treatment plan, doctors and therapists must be knowledgeable about a patient’s drug history, mental health history, and medical history. This technique entails conducting a pre-intake evaluation over the phone with the facility and then providing extra information after admission via a biopsychosocial examination.
Detoxification Under Medical Supervision
After the initial diagnostic evaluation, if a patient has a physical dependence and is experiencing withdrawal symptoms, detox is the first step. Patients may be prescribed medication to help them cope with the severity of their withdrawal symptoms and begin the process of psychotherapy treatment.
Therapy And Counseling
Patients will be cared for after detox through individual and group treatment sessions. Traditional to holistic therapies are available, and this is the type of care that will determine the majority of the rehab experience. Patients begin working on the trauma and mental health issues that may have led to their addiction in the first place at this time.
Aftercare
After patients have been discharged from rehab, aftercare programs keep in touch with them and their peer groups. Continued therapy, participation at support groups.
