Different Types Of Treatment in Crystal Lake, IL.

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

In the same way, the protocols used at a center will mostly depend on the individual principles the program is founded upon. These protocols, however, can be combined in various ways. For example, you might come across religious-based drug and alcohol treatment programs that also use evidence-based philosophies.

In most situations, you may find that every addiction treatment emphasizes a single approach. This is how most of these centers are classified. With that being said, the most common types of alcohol and drug treatment programs include:

1. Evidence-Based Programs

Evidence-based alcohol and drug rehabs usually base their program on the research in addiction treatment. And because of this, they will provide treatment that is mostly psychologically-based in addition to adjunctive protocols that are research and scientifically based and is founded on what has been found to work for different types of addicts.

At these places, the recovery protocols used often change regularly contingent upon the results coming out from the most recent findings in science and research.

2. Faith-Based Centers

Faith-based alcohol and drug rehabs, however, are focused on the religious and spiritual facets of treatment. As a specific result, most of them lean on the twelve-step programs in combination with religious ritual - such as meditation and prayers.

The fundamental belief in most of these facilities is that sobriety comes from God. In the USA - a chiefly Christian region - most spiritually-based facilities are Christian. On the other hand, there are also substance abuse treatment centers dedicated to providing healing and relief for recovering addicts from other faiths.

In most cases, you will find that these type of treatment rehabs are funded by a specific religious entity - with the recovery programs run by the Salvation Army providing an excellent example. With that said, most spiritually-based centers also provide abstinence-based programs.

3. Twelve-step Based Facilities

Most of these facilities base their treatment therapies and options on the 12-step programs coupled with the literature produced by Alcoholics Anonymous and its other branches.

To this end, most of these programs will require that you engage in meetings, group work, and meet up with a sponsor. During these activities, you will work on the steps that will empower you to handle your issues from the twelve step perspective.

Some of the facilities in Crystal Lake that are based on the twelve steps may also involve other treatment options - such as individual psychotherapy.

4. Pharmacotherapy-Based Centers

Medicine-based centers look at addiction and substance use issues as conditions that should be fixed medically - in a similar was you would deal with other conditions like cancer.

As a result, they will often write a prescription for such medicines as Suboxone for the management of addiction.

These types of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs are, however, sometimes thought of as harm-reducing because they might pass on your dependence from one substance to another. As an example, the methadone might replace heroin.

However, there are medicines that have been proven of deterring active alcohol abuse. For instance, Antabuse makes and alcoholic sick when they drink. As a result, this type of medicine is useful at handling addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

Some alcohol and drug treatment facilities do not fit into any of the categories we have discussed above. These rehabs offer therapies that are not proven and may be experimental.

Alternatively, these centers say that their way of handling addiction issues is unique to them. However, they are problematic because they will probably not have proof of success or any other evidence to back up the claims they make.

6. Harm-Reduction Based Programs

These are drug and alcohol rehab programs 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 drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs, instead, go with the belief that addicted people can use less of the substance in question. From this perspective, they claim that it is alright to have a glass of wine or so during lunch and will teach the patients how to do this with success. While going through this, you will learn how to control your addiction while still allowing for some substance use.

Many harm-reduction addiction treatment centers are found outside the reaches of traditional alcohol and drug rehab facilities. One good example is a needle exchange program.

The theory behind these plans is that not every addict is prepared for or desires guidance. Hence, they are directed 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, these programs reduce the risk of disease transmittal that occurs from drug abuse, even though addicts continue using as they did prior to the intervention.
