Different Types Of Addiction Treatment in Atwater, CA.

As you can probably imagine, not every drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in Atwater is the same. As a matter of fact, each of the centers you come across will have their own unique idea as to what excellent treatment is all about.

In a similar way, the techniques used at a rehab will mostly depend on the particular principles the program is founded upon. These protocols, however, can be combined in various ways. For example, you may come across spiritually-based drug and alcohol rehabs that also use evidence-based therapies.

In many cases, you may find that every alcohol and drug rehab facility will emphasize a specific philosophy. This is how most of these programs are classified. That said, the most common types of substance abuse treatment facilities include:

1. Evidence-Based Rehab Centers

Evidence-based or Proof-based drug and alcohol rehab programs tend to underpin their treatment on the science and research of substance abuse recovery. And because of this, they will provide care that is mostly focused on the mental and emotional as well as ancillary protocols that are based on proven scientific research from proven results and case studies.

At these centers, the treatment therapies used often change regularly contingent upon the results coming out from the latest findings in the research and scientific work.

2. Religious-Based Facilities

Religious-based alcohol and drug rehabs, on the other hand, put their attention on the religious and spiritual aspects of rehab. As a direct result, most of them rely on the twelve step philosophies combined with religious practice - such as prayers and meditation.

The fundamental belief in a majority of these programs is that recovery comes from the Lord. In the U.S. - a largely Christian region - most spiritually-based rehabs are Christian. However, there are other drug and alcohol treatment facilities that focus on treating people from other religions.

In many instances, you will find that these organizational treatment programs are funded by a specific religious group - with the recovery programs run by the Salvation Army providing an excellent example. That being said, most religious-based programs also provide abstinence-based programs.

3. 12-step Based Facilities

Most of these rehabs base their treatment protocols and offerings on the twelve-step programs in addition to the information provided by AA and its various branches.

As a result, most all of these facilities make you participate in group work, attend offsite and onsite meetings, and finding a sponsor. During this time, you will go through the steps that will enable you to handle your issues from the 12-step perspective.

Some of the programs in Atwater that are based on the 12-steps may also use other treatment options - such as individual therapy.

4. Medicine-Based Rehabs

Pharmacotherapy-based rehabs look at substance abuse issues as symptoms that should be fixed medically - in much the same way you would deal with other conditions such as diabetes or cancer.

To this end, they often prescribe the long term use of such medicines as methadone to manage an addiction.

These kinds of alcohol and drug rehab facilities are, however, sometimes thought of as harm-reducing because they might pass on your dependence from one drug to another. For example, the Suboxone or methadone might take the place of opoids.

On the other hand, there are meds that a proven track record of deterring active drug and alcohol abuse. For instance, Antabuse makes an alcohol abuser ill when they consume alcohol. As a result, this treatment approach is effective at managing addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

Some addiction treatment programs do not fit into any of the categories we have discussed above. These rehabs offer remedies that are not founded on any evidence-based treatment methods or protocols.

Instead, these programs say that their way of handling addiction issues is unique to them. But, they are open to doubt in the sense that they will probably not have proof of success or any other evidence to back up the claims they make.

6. Harm-Reduction Based Rehabs

These are substance abuse treatment facilities that generally believe 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 drug and alcohol treatment facilities, instead, work on the belief that addicted individuals can use less of the substance in question. From this perspective, they argue that it's okay to enjoy a glass or so of wine or beer during lunch and will teach the patients how to do this with success. While going through this, you may learn how to keep a lid on your substance abuse problem while still making allowances for some substance use.

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

The intention behind these plans is that not every addicted person is prepared for or desires guidance. Therefore, they are aimed at attempting 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, they reduce the risk of disease transmittal which arises from drug abuse, even though addicted people continue using as they did prior to the intervention.
