Different Types Of Rehabilitation in Bay City, MI.

As you can imagine, not every alcohol and drug treatment program in Bay City is the same. In fact, each of the programs you come across will have their own unique notion as to what constitutes excellent treatment.

In a similar way, the protocols applied at a rehab will mostly depend on the individual principles the facility is founded upon. These protocols, however, can be combined in various ways. As an example, you might notice spiritually-based drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that also use evidence-based therapies.

In most situations, you may find that each drug and alcohol rehab program will emphasize a specific philosophy. This is how most of these facilities are classified. That said, the most common types of addiction treatment facilities include:

1. Evidence-Based Programs

Evidence-based alcohol and drug rehab programs usually base their treatment on the science and research of addiction recovery. And because of this, they will extend treatment that is mostly focused on the mental and emotional as well as ancillary treatments that are research and scientifically based from proven results and case studies.

At these rehabs, the recovery protocols applied tend to change on a regular basis contingent upon the results coming out from the most recent findings in science and research.

2. Faith-Based Facilities

Spiritually-based alcohol and drug rehab facilities, on the other hand, are focused on the spiritual facets of treatment. As a specific result, most of them lean on the twelve-step programs in combination with religious practice and ritual - such as meditation and prayers.

The underlying belief in a majority of these rehabs is that recovery comes from God. In the USA - a predominantly Christian area - most religious-based programs are Christian. However, there are some alcohol and drug treatment facilities that focus on treating people from other religions.

In many instances, you will find that these organizational recovery programs are funded by religious group - as an example, the Salvation Army has treatment programs. That being said, most faith-based rehabs also promote abstinence-based programs.

3. Twelve-step Based Centers

Most of these rehabs base their treatment therapies and offerings on the 12-step programs in addition to the information provided by Alcoholics Anonymous and its various branches.

To this end, most all of these centers make you participate in group work, attend offsite and onsite meetings, and meet up with a sponsor. During this time, you will regularly work on the steps that will empower you to look at your addiction from the twelve step perspective.

Some of the centers in Bay City that are based on the 12-steps may also offer other recovery protocols - such as individual psychotherapy.

4. Medicine-Based Programs

Medicine-based facilities look at substance use and addiction issues as symptoms that ought to be handled medically - in a similar was you would handle other conditions like cancer.

As a result, they often prescribe the long term use of such drugs as Suboxone and methadone for the management of addiction.

These types of addiction treatment programs are, however, sometimes classified as harm-reducing because they might pass on your dependence from one substance to another. As an example, the methadone or Suboxone might replace opoids.

However, there are medicines that have been proven of deterring active alcohol abuse. For example, Antabuse makes an alcohol abuser ill when they consume alcohol. Because of this, this type of medicine is effective at managing addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

Some substance abuse treatment centers are unique and not suited to any of the methods described here so far. These rehabs offer remedies that are not founded on any evidence-based treatment methods or protocols.

Alternatively, these rehabs report that their way of handling addiction issues is unique to them. But, they are problematic because they will probably not be able to provide you with proof of success or any other evidence to back up the claims they make.

6. Harm-Reduction Based Rehabs

These are alcohol and drug rehab centers 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 alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs, instead, go with the belief that addicts can consume less of the drugs or alcohol. Based on this belief, they argue that it is alright to enjoy a glass of wine or so during lunch or dinner and will teach the clients how to do this with success. In the process, you may learn how to control your addiction while still making allowances for some substance use.

Many harm-reduction drug and alcohol treatment programs are found outside the reaches of conventional drug and alcohol rehab facilities. A good example is a needle exchange program.

The theory behind these programs is that not every addict is prepared for or wants guidance. Hence, 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. In doing so, they reduce the risk of disease transmission which arises from drug abuse, even though addicted people continue to use as they did before the intervention.
