Delray Recovery Center welcomes clients from anywhere in the US at our Florida rehab

From a psychological standpoint, the term “rehab” (short for rehabilitation) is normally used as part of an alcohol or drug addiction treatment and recovery process. Florida rehab programs are no exception to that rule and is a similar process to all the others found throughout the US.  Whether it is alcohol or drug rehab, the terminology refers to those specific treatment process that can be medicinal or psychotherapeutic in nature.

These treatments typically target the dependency on certain psychoactive substances such as alcohol, prescription medicines, and what are commonly referred to as “street” drugs.  According to the DEA and public health officials, these primary street drugs include:

  • Cocaine (crack or powder form)
  • Heroin
  • Marijuana
  • Methamphetamines

Other substances, namely illegally trafficked opiate-based painkillers and certain psych meds such as benzodiazepines have become a part of the addiction problem as well as MDMA’s (club or date-rape drugs) such as Ecstasy.  Most Florida rehab centers offer programs that target all of the aforementioned substances.  However, that is where any similarities between these rehab programs cease.

Traditional vs. alternative Florida rehab facilities

There are two basic categories of Florida rehab facilities – the traditional and the alternative (a.k.a. residential) facilities.  Both have the same goals with their addiction treatment and recovery programs.  However, they pursue those goals in completely different fashion.

Traditional Florida rehab facilities – these addiction treatment and recovery centers typically rely on conventional therapies which most of the alternative facilities feel are out of date and ineffectual.  They are clinical or hospital like in appearance which can be extremely intimidating to the addicted individual.

Alternative or residential Florida rehab facilities
– these facilities are designed and styled like residences such as apartments, condos, or dormitories.  They enable their clients to recover in a homelike setting complete with many of the amenities they are used to in their own homes.  They employ addiction treatment and recovery therapies that are more modern and innovative, and offer the client a higher chance for total recovery.

The Delray Recovery Center is here to help

If you or a loved one is in need of a Florida rehab program, we can provide you with the most affordable and highest quality addiction treatment and recovery programs anywhere in the state.  However, we welcome clients from anywhere in the US should they choose to be away from their communities during the addiction treatment and recovery process.
