Different Types Of Rehab in Burbank, CA.

As you can probably envision, not every substance abuse treatment center in Burbank is the same. In fact, each of the programs you come across will have their own individual idea about what should constitute quality treatment.

Similarly, the protocols applied at a facility will be dependent upon the original philosophy the center is founded upon. These protocols, however, are not mutually exclusive. For example, you might see faith-based drug and alcohol rehab centers that also use evidence-based therapies.

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

1. Evidence-Based Rehabs

Evidence-based or Proof-based drug and alcohol rehab centers usually base their treatment on the science and research of addiction recovery. And because of this, they will offer treatment that is mostly psychologically-based in addition to ancillary therapies that are based on proven scientific research and is founded on what has been found to work for different types of addicts.

At these centers, the treatment therapies used tend to change on a regular basis dependent upon the results from the latest findings in the research and scientific work.

2. Faith-Based Programs

Spiritually-based substance abuse treatment centers, however, are focused on the spiritual facets of rehab. As a result, most of them rely on the twelve step programs in combination with religious ritual - such as prayers.

The overriding belief in a majority of these centers is that recovery comes from God. In the USA - a predominantly Christian region - most religious-based centers are Christian. But, there are other drug and alcohol rehab programs dedicated to providing healing and relief for recovering addicts from other religions and faiths.

In many instances, you will find that these organizational recovery facilities are funded by religious entity - as an example, the Salvation Army has treatment programs. That said, most faith-based centers also provide philosophies based on abstinence.

3. 12-step Based Rehabs

Most of these programs base their treatment therapies and offerings on the twelve-step philosophies coupled with the information provided by AA and its various offshoots.

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

Some of the facilities in Burbank that are based on the 12-steps may also offer other recovery protocols - such as complementary therapeutic practices and one-on-one psychotherapy.

4. Medicine-Based Centers

Medicine-based facilities look at addiction disorders as symptoms that ought to be handled in a medical setting - in much the same way you would deal with other diseases like diabetes.

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

These kinds of addiction treatment centers are, however, sometimes classified as harm reducing because they might pass on your dependence from one substance to a different drug. For example, the methadone might take the place of opoids.

But, there are meds that a proven track record of deterring active drug and alcohol abuse. For instance, Antabuse will make an alcoholic ill whenever they take alcohol. Because of this, this type of medicine 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 programs offer therapies that are not founded on any evidence-based treatment methods or protocols.

Instead, these facilities report that their way of handling addiction issues is unique to them. But, they are questionable because they will probably not have proof of success or be able to provide evidence about their theories.

6. Harm-Reduction Based Programs

These are drug and alcohol rehab centers that hold the belief that individuals 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 addiction treatment programs, instead, work on the belief that addicted individuals can use less of the substance in question. From this perspective, they claim that it's okay to have a glass or so of wine or beer during dinner and will teach the patients how to do this with success. In the process, you will learn how to control your addiction while still allowing for some substance use.

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

The concept behind these plans is that not every addict is ready for or wants help. Hence, they are aimed 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, they reduce the risk of disease transmission which arises from drug abuse, even though addicts continue to use as they did before the intervention.
