Residential Treatment or Residential Rehabilitation
What is Residential Rehab/treatment?
Residential treatment or Rehab provides 24-hour care in a highly supportive residential setting.
Residential treatment is provided using a variety of treatment approaches but predominantly advocate abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Residential treatment programs have planned lengths of stay of anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks although longer stays can frequently be necessary and will improve outcomes. Residential treatment programmes focus on the “resocialisation” of the individual and use the programme’s entire “community,” including other residents, staff, and the social context, as active components of treatment.
Addiction is viewed in the context of an individual’s social and psychological deficits, and residential treatment focuses on developing personal accountability and responsibility and socially productive lives.
What Residential Treatment or Rehab programmes involve.
As already stated Residential treatment (or Rehab) programs are highly structured and can include activities designed to help residents examine damaging beliefs, self-concepts, and patterns of behaviour. Residential treatment attempts to adopt new, more harmonious and constructive ways to interact with others. Residential treatment programs can be quite comprehensive and, where necessary, can include employment training and other support services on site.
Residential treatment programmes require patients to stay in a highly supported residential environment. Patients in residential treatment will often include those with relatively long histories of drug dependence, alcoholism and impaired social functioning. The focus of residential treatment is on the resocialisation of the patient to a drug-free, productive lifestyle.
Research shows that residential treatment programs can be modified to treat individuals with particular needs these can include addiction to drugs and alcohol but also Eating Disorders and a variety of psychiatric disorders. Residential treatment programs have proven themselves to be a very successful form of treatment because patients are allowed to practice living a clean and sober lifestyle in a supportive, therapeutic environment.
