There are two different major types of drug rehab for clients to choose from: inpatient and outpatient. Inpatient care provides a place for a patient to live while they are going through the program. Highly trained staff members are available around the clock, ensuring that everyone is safe and comfortable at all times. This separation from the outside world is effective for people looking to completely remove the temptation of drugs or alcohol and focus full-time on getting sober.

Outpatient care allows a client to stay in their current living situation, even participating in things like work or other commitments while seeking treatment for addiction. There are still multiple services available, and it is possible to get help organized around a client’s schedule. This also makes it possible for family members to get the assistance that they need during a very difficult time.

Therapy

Even though there are different types of rehabilitation centers, most offer clients some type of therapy. Addiction counseling is a key component in the recovery process. Some facilities focus on one-on-one time, while others offer group sessions for additional support. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a commonly type of therapy that can help people learn to cope without addictive substances.

Education

Some locations put an emphasis on educating participants. The goal is to provide information on addiction and the physical and mental effects it can have on a person. At the same time, these types of drug rehab also provide people with the coping skills necessary to be successful when they are ready to head back home and move on with their lives. You can also take advantage of educational opportunities near you as part of your post-treatment support.

Dual Diagnosis

Sometimes, addiction causes or is caused by a mental illness, and this can complicate attempts to get sober. Rehabs might take a closer look at each patient to see if a dual diagnosis applies. If it does, those disorders are treated side by side with addiction in order to give patients the best chance of recovery, allowing them to start healing right away.
