Inpatient Drug Treatment Facilities

Long before you will likely consider the option of Inpatient Drug Treatment Facilities you will attempt other options in an attempt to quit using. Nearly all people that are addicted believe in the beginning that they can stop using drugs on their own, and most try to stop without treatment. If this sounds like you then you know that most of these attempts result in failure to achieve long-term abstinence. The reason for this is because long-term drug use results in significant changes in the brain that are still there after you stop using drugs. These drug-induced changes in brain function may have many behavioral consequences, including the compulsion to use drugs despite adverse consequences. Because there are so many different drugs that are addictive, the treatment for specific drugs can differ too. Treatment also varies depending on the characteristics of each person. People who are addicted to drugs come from all walks of life.

In our inpatient drug treatment facilities, we use a variety of scientifically based approaches to drug addiction treatment. These approaches include counseling, cognitive therapy, or psychotherapy. Drug addiction treatment can include behavioral therapy and/or medications. We offer you strategies for coping with your drug cravings and we teach you ways to avoid drugs and prevent relapse. We have found that the best programs provide a combination of therapies and other services to meet your individual needs. These needs are shaped by such issues as age, race, culture, sexual orientation, gender, pregnancy, parenting, housing, and employment, as well as physical and sexual abuse.

Length of Inpatient Drug Treatment

Individuals progress through inpatient drug treatment at various speeds, so there is no predetermined length of treatment. It has been proven that good outcomes are contingent on adequate lengths of treatment. Generally, for residential or outpatient treatment, participation for less than 90 days has no effectiveness, and treatments lasting significantly longer often are required. Follow-up contact, as well as participation in support groups, has both been shown to improve long-term treatment outcomes. Research shows that counselors and therapists, who bond with patients through empathy, rather than confrontation, are powerful motivating influences in drug treatment.
