Drug and alcohol rehab is in high demand throughout the country. There are reality TV shows, commercials and billboards all telling us that rehab is available—but when you find yourself in the position of needing to find drug or alcohol rehab for yourself or a loved one, where do you begin? With literally hundreds and thousands of options for treatment nationwide to choose from, which program is best?
The most fundamental thing to understand with substance abuse and dependency is that it is a deep-seated issue that takes time to resolve. No matter the luxury or sales pitch the fancy 30 Day program throws at you.
If someone’s life is so thoroughly disrupted by drugs or alcohol to a point that a treatment program is considered, it’s time for the addict to roll up his or her sleeves and realize that there is some work to be done. It’s not impossible, but it won’t be easy and it might take some time. For this reason, we highly recommend long term drug rehab programs due to the tendency towards a more individualized program approach and better rates of success.
Long term drug and alcohol treatment programs are generally 4-6 months in length, and take the time to find out each client’s unique story. Eliminating any “time crunch” out of the equation allows for the attainment of sobriety to occur as a natural result of taking up each individual facet of the addiction itself. Long term treatment also will generally include a life skills portion of the program, to help the individual bridge back into his life without old habits or destructive patterns.
