The outdated notion of addiction as a moral failing is something that all research categorically refutes. A doctor can scan the brain of someone suffering from drug addiction and see the physical differences that addiction causes. However, there is more to addiction than the idea that it’s a brain disease. This fact does not lead to negative judgment, but greater empathy that can allow rehab centers to treat addiction on a deeper level.
Addiction does not correlate with moral character, but it does have a close correlation with trauma and depression. It’s easy to draw a circumstantial link between these social ills and hardships, but the evidence backs it up as well.
One study revealed that therapy had a powerful effect in preventing relapse in people who suffered from alcohol addiction. We’ve used the evidence to craft a compassionate, comprehensive philosophy of addiction rehabilitation combined with science-based care techniques. One of the most important elements of our addiction rehabilitation program is the emphasis on individualization.
Drug rehab programs should be customized for each patient based on their unique problems and needs given how addiction affects each person differently. Though most science-based treatments are standardized and developed in a way that makes them effective for everyone, not everyone needs the same treatments. For instance, dual diagnosis therapy is a science-based treatment for patients with a co-occurring mental illness, but not all patients with drug use disorders suffer from a comorbid mental illness and need this treatment.
Here are other key principles of effective addiction treatment, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse:
California Rehab Campuses employs customized treatment for each and every client based on individualized assessment.
Withdrawals can be extremely taxing from a physical and mental standpoint, and in some cases they become life-threatening. Our detox program provides people suffering from drug addiction with a secure, supervised environment to go through withdrawals.
While overcoming withdrawals and removing substances from your system is a great achievement, it’s only the first step.
After detox, clients will begin their Residential Treatment Program. Where detox gives your body time to flush the substances from your system, residential treatment services provide support and guidance. The uncertain period immediately after ending chemical dependency can be confusing and difficult, which is one reason why Residential Treatment Programs proves highly successful in preventing and managing relapse.
When someone needs more hands-on support to overcome their addictions, we can offer residential care. The patient will stay in our facility with a supportive, understanding community where our highly trained staff administer care. This includes group and solo therapy sessions, support mechanism building, family counseling, and more.
