Unfortunately, you or someone in your family is living with drug addiction, and now the search for the appropriate treatment center has begun. You may have a variety of questions at the beginning of this search, but there are two very important questions that need to be at the forefront of your mind.
What happens in a residential Denver residential treatment center?
Residential rehab centers are inpatient facilities that take care of their patients on location in order to help them focus primarily on their recovery instead of outside distractions. When one is in at residential rehab center, they will undergo a program that involves a combination of detoxing, group and individual substance abuse therapy, education about relapse prevention, and some sort of post-treatment aftercare.
-
Detox: During the detox period, the patients body will rid itself of all of the toxic influences of drugs or alcohol.
-
Substance Abuse Therapy: Those in a rehabilitation program will be expected to participate in group and individual therapy sessions so they are able to take responsibility for the underlying causes of their addiction.
-
Aftercare: As a patient progresses with their recovery and nears the end of their particular rehabilitation program, it is important that their team work with them to ensure that they are able to develop an appropriate plan for the post-treatment period. Aftercare is crucial to a reformed addict remaining clean after their time in a facility.
How long does rehabilitation take?
A programs duration is very much dictated by the patients particular needs but many programs range from 30 days to as many as six months. Another typical treatment time is 90 days, but it is important not to pick a program based on its duration but for how well it works for a patients particular addiction and needs.
