It can be easy for long-term and short-term drug abusers to think and feel as though rehab isn’t going to be enough to help them heal from addiction. Long-term abusers, especially, may believe that because they’ve been involved in drugs for so long, no amount of therapy or medicinal aid can help them. Such is not the case. No matter how addicted you might be, or how long you’ve been abusing drugs, you can always break free from addiction with the help in live-in rehab programs.
There are numerous types of live-in rehab programs specifically designed for certain individuals to ensure that they receive the support they need as they transition back into a sober lifestyle. So, if you’re considering live-in rehab but you aren’t sure that any of their programs will work for you, consider some of these types and take the chance to heal from addiction at last.
Live-In Rehab Programs
The most popular form of live-in rehab program is simply known as inpatient rehab or residential rehab. This type of rehab involves a person who voluntarily signs up to stay at the center and go through various forms of treatment to cure them through withdrawal and then help them break free from addiction. Depending on the severity of the addiction, you may stay at the center for a month to several months. Typically, those who are long-term abusers stay longer in rehab to ensure that their addictive behavior has been controlled and they are given supportive outlets to prevent relapse before being released back into the world.
However, the duration is largely up to the individual as they can leave whenever they want to. That being said, there can be some repercussions put into place for those who leave before their treatment is complete such as not being allowed to attend rehab at that center again. There is also the possibility of being court-mandated. In this instance, abusers have no choice in attending rehab. They are kept there and helped until they are free from addiction. These are cases in which the abuser has to be helped for their own benefit. Their health may be at risk or they may be at risk of seriously injuring their loved ones with their drug habits.
Half-Way Houses
Another form of live-in rehab program is the half-way house or sober living house. These are typically offered to those who have completed live-in rehab at a center. It’s another place of security and safety for them to utilize before entering the world. A Half-Way House offers the patient more freedom. They are able to go to work, attend school, and even engage in social gatherings and events in the outside world.
The houses are supervised by trained officials who keep tabs on each of their residents and helps them stay responsible for their actions and decisions. Because of its bridging rehab to the world, half-way houses are an excellent option for those who need a bit more support after rehab before entering the world fully. This is especially true for those who are concerned that the environment they’ll be returning to back home might trigger a relapse. The half-house way gives them an opportunity to make money at their place of employment in order to find a better place to live away from their triggers.
Treatment Approaches
Within live-in rehab programs, there are numerous treatment approaches put into place to help you kick your habit and support you in making healthier choices. The largest treatment concerns behavioral modification. In this regard, there are numerous forms of therapy like talk therapy, group therapy, nature therapy, even dance therapy, that are designed to help you uncover the triggers and situations that cause you to use.
Once you uncover those triggers, you can then learn behavior to deal with those situations that don’t involve drugs. It’s also concerned with teaching you about the brain. Because the brain is wired to a pleasure-based system, your brain under the influence is always seeking the next hit because it finds the experience pleasurable. Without it, the brain thinks you are in pain. Your therapist can work with you to re-wire your brain so it finds pleasure in safe and healthy habits once more. There are also medical teams on hand to help with non-addictive medical prescriptions that can take the edge off during withdrawals and aid in treatment.
