There are many types of drug rehab centers available. The trouble is finding the right one. Most people don't know the difference among drug treatment options. Many send their loved one to a drug rehab only to find that after completing the drug rehab their loved one resumes taking drugs or alcohol. There are differences among programs and it's important to know what they are to make an informed decision.
When one has a son, daughter or loved one addicted to drugs or alcohol, life itself can be pretty tumultuous and unbearable. With addiction comes lies, deceit, dishonesty and deception. The person may promise to quit or simply shut you out of their life. They may even be trying to quit and have the intention to do so. The truth is unless one seeks professional help the likelihood of the person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol quitting on their own is practically zero. They need addiction help.
There are different types of drug treatment centers. Some offer support to someone who wants to quit, but no other drug treatment. There are medical drug detox centers that help the person through withdrawal only, these leave the person on their own as far as staying off drugs. There are outpatient drug rehab centers and inpatient ones lasting for a few weeks to months. However, the facts are that usually patients go back to drugs after short rehab programs are done.
If an addiction treatment program doesn't offer a good chance of your loved one staying off drugs or alcohol and they simply return to using after treatment the money spent has been essentially wasted.
The reasons someone addicted to a substance cannot quit are both physical and mental. Physically their body craves the drug much more intensely than one craves food when hungry. The drug itself and the body's reaction to it has set up this unbearable situation. Mentally the person has gotten relief and gratification when taking the drug so mentally the person craves the substance as well.
