Drug Rehab
Drug Rehab specifically provided in residential rehabilitation programmes is one of the longest established forms of treatment for drug addiction. Studies from the UK and the US have shown improved outcomes after treatment in residential rehabilitation programmes.
Residential Drug rehab programmes aim to engender and maintain abstinence in a residential setting. It is recognised that people with complex problems related to drug misuse may require respite and an intense programme of support and care which cannot realistically be delivered in a community or outpatient setting.
The broad array of residential drug rehab services for drug treatment and the degree of intensity of therapeutic support varies quite widely across the residential services sector.
Philosophy and Approach of Drug Rehab
The treatment philosophy, structure and intensity of residential drug rehab services vary quite widely. There are three broad types of rehabilitation provision:
- therapeutic communities
- 12-step programmes based on the Minnesota Model of addiction recovery treatment
- faith-based or general houses promoting a less structured programme which favours a more individually tailored package of care for each client
Different drug rehab programmes are available, based on cognitive behavioural and motivational interviewing approaches.
Drug rehab levels of care include:
- inpatient (detox)
- short-term residential
- long-term residential
Some residential drug rehab programmes require their clients to be drug free on entry, although many now provide medically supervised withdrawal or Drug Detox to prepare the patient to engage more fully with the therapuetic treatment programme.
