The need for better addictions treatment center programs

With the growing number of incidents involving substance abuse and addiction, there is a growing need for addictions treatment center programs that offer alternative treatment and recovery programs.  The majority of the conventional addiction rehab facilities today are unsuccessful nearly 80% of the time.  What this means is that roughly 20% of the addicted individuals who return to society wind up relapsing and get addicted again.

The primary reason for this is based on the fact that most of these conventional facilities only address the physical aspects of a person’s addictions.  They either neglect or overlook the fact that there are consequences emotionally and mentally that need to be address with their addictions treatment center programs.  Additionally, it is difficult to come up with a treatment and recovery program when the psychological issues behind the addiction are not investigated and understood.

In the US today, there are now some 40 million cases every year involving serious illness and injury that is associated with substance abuse and addiction.  Additionally, there are numerous social issues and problems that are direct consequences of substance abuse and addiction including the following:

  • child abuse
  • driving under the influence
  • homelessness
  • missing work and difficulty keeping a steady job
  • stress-related issues
  • violence and violent crimes

Most importantly, substance addiction destroys families and relationships as well as posing a health threat to unborn children.  Despite the fact that there are hundreds of addictions treatment center programs available to the addicted individual today, most of them fail to address the key issues mentioned above.

Choosing the right addictions treatment center

With the wide array of substance addictions treatment center programs available to addicted individuals today, it can be a difficult task when you are trying to choose the right one to facilitate your specific needs.  There are several aspects or characteristics that you should look for when trying to select the best treatment and recovery programs such as:

  • different types of treatment (e.g. in-patient, out-patient, residency, etc.)
  • educational materials
  • emotional and psychological issues are addressed along with the physical ones
  • prevention of relapsing

What you need to remember is that the recovery stage continues for months and even years after clients have left the Narconon Freedom Center.  The addiction may have taken a long time to develop to the point where it was when the client entered one of our addictions treatment center programs, so recovery is not easy and does not happen overnight.  If you have any questions regarding our different substance addiction treatment and recovery programs or need assistance with your situation, please contact us today at the toll-free phone number listed above.
