Drug Addiction Help

Get Help Now for Drug Addiction

Each person’s drug addiction is different – and, as a result, each person needs a drug addiction program that is suitable to his individual needs and budget.

A teenager might do better in a wilderness program. Some adults prefer single-sex centers. Some people want to go far away from home for treatment; while others want a local facility.

The majority of addicted individuals enter treatment because of court orders. Some centers have special programs for court-ordered treatment, with staff members who coordinate with the court system and lawyers, and provide periodic updates. In some cases, your counselors may even testify for you in court. If this is a concern for you, you can bring it up during your phone consultation.

Getting Help for Your Child

If you are looking for a program for a minor (under the age of 18), you may worry that the treatment will not work because the child does not want to enter the program. However, even though the majority of teenagers in treatment do not want to be there at first, studies have shown that teenagers who entered treatment because their parents insisted or because of court orders are about as successful in recovery outcomes as those who entered willingly.

Teenagers often are more willing to enter a wilderness program than a residential center. Wilderness programs involve therapists taking a small group of teenagers camping and hiking. They live together for a few weeks or more, while the teens undergo counseling and monitoring on a constant, 24-hour basis. These programs are short-term and extremely effective.

Another option for young people is a therapeutic boarding school. Most teens with drug problems remain in these schools less than a year, earning academic credits and undergoing treatment at the same time. Therapeutic boarding schools are usually designed for students aged 10 to 18, but there are also centers that are designed to support older students who are attending c local college.

About Residential Treatment

A good residential program for adults should be licensed by the state and accredited by regulating groups such as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities or The Joint Commission on The Accreditation of Health Care Facilities. The counselors should have advanced degrees in a relevant field, and accreditations in substance abuse treatment. A medical doctor should be on staff at least part-time. You should be able to check the center’s references and ask about treatment outcomes.

Ideally, you want to find a center that is well maintained and in a pleasant setting. Some of the best ones are in beautiful locations, such as by the sea or in scenic mountain or forest areas.

The center should offer group and individual counseling, classes and lectures, relaxation training, and art, music and drama therapy. There should be an active physical exercise component with both indoor and outdoor activities. Some centers offer field trips and social events.

Some people can successfully undergo drug addiction treatment in day programs. This means they go home at night, but are at the center attending classes and counseling during the day. Day programs are less expensive than residential treatment – though it is harder to stay away from drugs and alcohol when you are spending your nights at home, near your former drug-using friends and suppliers.

Your insurance and funds may have an impact on which center is best for you or your loved one. Many policies cover only 30 days of treatment. Some people have challenged insurance companies and been able to obtain funding for a longer treatment stay.
