Different Types Of Addiction Treatment in Arcata, CA.

As you can envision, not every alcohol and drug treatment program in Arcata is the same. As a matter of fact, each of the programs you encounter will have their own individual notion as to what excellent treatment is all about.

In the same way, the techniques used at a facility will mostly depend on the particular principles it is founded upon. These protocols, however, can be combined in various ways. As an example, you may see spiritually-based alcohol and drug rehabs that also use evidence-based philosophies.

In many situations, you will find that each alcohol and drug rehab center will emphasize a single philosophy. This is how most of these programs are classified. That said, the most common types of alcohol and drug rehabs include:

1. Evidence-Based Rehabs

Evidence-based or Proof-based drug and alcohol rehab programs most always construct their treatment on the science and research of addiction treatment. And because of this, they will offer treatment that is often psychologically-based in addition to adjunctive protocols that are research and scientifically based from proven results and case studies.

At these places, the treatment therapies applied often change regularly contingent upon the results coming out from the most recent results in research and science.

2. Religious-Based Rehabs

Faith-based addiction treatment facilities, however, are focused on the religious and spiritual facets of recovery. As a direct result, most of them lean on the 12-step programs in combination with religious practice and ritual - such as meditation and prayers.

The overriding belief in most of these centers is that sobriety comes from the Lord. In the U.S. - a predominantly Christian area - most religious-based rehabs are Christian. But, there are other alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs dedicated to providing healing and relief for recovering addicts from other religions and faiths.

For the most case, you will find that these type of treatment rehabs are funded by religious group - with the recovery programs run by the Salvation Army providing an excellent example. With that said, most religious-based facilities also provide philosophies based on abstinence.

3. Twelve Step Based Facilities

Most of these rehabs base their recovery protocols and options on the 12-step philosophies as well as on the information produced by AA and its other branches.

Because of this, most all of these facilities require that you participate in meetings, group work, and regular meetings with your sponsor. During these activities, you will regularly work on the steps that will enable you to deal with your issues from the twelve-step point of view.

Some of the facilities in Arcata that are based on the twelve-steps of addiction recovery may also offer other recovery modalities - such as complementary therapeutic practices and one-on-one psychotherapy.

4. Medicine-Based Facilities

Medicine-based centers look at substance abuse disorders as conditions that ought to be fixed medically - in a similar was you would handle other conditions such as diabetes or cancer.

Because of this, they often prescribe the long term use of such medications as methadone or Suboxone to manage an addiction.

These types of addiction treatment facilities are, however, sometimes classified as harm reducing because they might pass on your dependence from one drug to another. For instance, the Suboxone might replace opioids and heroin.

However, there are medicines that a proven track record of deterring active substance abuse. For example, Antabuse will make an alcoholic ill whenever they take alcohol. As a result, this type of treatment is useful at managing addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

Some substance abuse treatment centers do not fit into any of the categories we have discussed above. These facilities offer cures that are not proven and may be experimental.

Instead, these centers state that they have worked out unique ways of dealing with addiction and substance use disorders. However, they are open to doubt because they might not be able to provide you with proof of success or be able to provide evidence about their theories.

6. Harm-Reduction Based Centers

These are addiction treatment programs that theorize that people suffering from addiction and a variety of substance use disorders are not completely capable of abstinence or that they do not want to stop using drugs and alcohol entirely.

These alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs, instead, work on the belief that addicted individuals can consume less of the drugs or alcohol. Based on this belief, they argue that it's alright to take a glass of wine or so during lunch or dinner and will teach the patients how to do this with success. While going through this, you may learn how to control your substance abuse problem while still allowing for some substance use.

Most harm-reduction substance abuse treatment facilities are found apart from the reaches of conventional alcohol and drug treatment facilities. One good example would be a needle exchange plan.

The theory behind these programs is that not every addicted person is prepared for or wants help. Therefore, they are directed at trying to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases such as hepatitis and HIV by providing IV drug users with clean needles free of charge. By so doing, these programs reduce the risk of disease transmittal that occurs from drug abuse, although addicts continue to use as they did prior to the intervention.
