Different Types Of Addiction Treatment in Dedham, MA.

As you can imagine, not every alcohol and drug rehabilitation program in Dedham is the same. In fact, each of the facilities you encounter will have its own unique notion about what should constitute quality treatment.

In the same way, the protocols used at a facility will mostly depend on the individual philosophy the center is founded upon. These categories, however, can be combined in various ways. For example, you might notice faith-based addiction treatment centers that also use evidence-based philosophies.

In many cases, you will find that each alcohol and drug treatment facility emphasizes a single approach. This is how most of these programs are classified. That said, the most common types of alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs include:

1. Evidence-Based Rehabs

Evidence-based or Proof-based substance abuse treatment centers tend to underpin their treatment on the research in substance abuse treatment. And because of this, they will offer care that is mostly psychologically-based in addition to adjunctive therapies that are research and scientifically based and is founded on what has been found to work for different types of addicts.

At these facilities, the recovery therapies applied often change regularly contingent upon the actual results from the latest findings in the research and scientific work.

2. Religious-Based Centers

Faith-based alcohol and drug rehab centers, however, are focused on the spiritual aspects of rehab. As a direct result, most of them rely on the twelve-step philosophies in combination with religious ritual - such as praying.

The overriding thought in a majority of these centers is that sobriety comes from God. In the USA - a mostly Christian country - most spiritually-based facilities are Christian. On the other hand, there are some addiction treatment facilities that focus on treating people from other faiths.

In most cases, you will find that these organizational recovery centers 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 centers also promote philosophies based on abstinence.

3. 12-step Based Rehabs

Most of these facilities base their recovery protocols and offerings on the twelve step programs as well as on the literature provided by Alcoholics Anonymous and its various branches.

To this end, most of these programs require that you engage in meetings, group work, and regular meetings with your sponsor. During this time, you will regularly work on the steps that will enable you to look at your addiction from the twelve-step perspective.

Some of the programs in Dedham that are based on the twelve-steps may also offer other treatment modalities - such as complementary therapeutic practices and one-on-one psychotherapy.

4. Medicine-Based Centers

Pharmacotherapy-based centers look at substance use and addiction issues as symptoms that should be handled medically - in much the same way you would deal with other conditions such as diabetes.

Because of this, they will often write a prescription for such medications as methadone to manage an addiction.

These types of drug and alcohol treatment programs are, however, sometimes classified as harm reducing because they might transfer your addiction from one substance to another. As an example, the Suboxone or methadone might take the place of opoids.

However, 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. Because of this, such a type of treatment is productive at handling addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

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

Alternatively, these rehabs report that they have worked out unique ways of dealing with addiction and substance use disorders. But, they are problematic because they might not have proof of success or any other evidence to back up the claims they make.

6. Harm-Reduction Based Programs

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 addiction treatment facilities, instead, go with the belief that addicted individuals can consume less of the drugs or alcohol. From this perspective, they argue that it's alright to take 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 substance abuse problem while still allowing for some substance use.

Many harm-reduction substance abuse treatment facilities are found away from the reaches of conventional addiction treatment centers. One good example is a needle exchange program.

The concept behind these plans is that not every addicted person is prepared for or desires guidance. 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. In doing so, they reduce the risk of disease transmittal arising from drug abuse, although addicted people continue to use as they did prior to the intervention.
