Different Types Of Addiction Treatment in Ishpeming, MI.

As you can envision, not every drug and alcohol treatment program in Ishpeming is the same. As a matter of fact, each of the centers you come across will have their own individual notion about what should constitute quality treatment.

In a similar way, the techniques applied at a center will be dependent upon the original philosophy the facility is founded upon. These protocols, however, are not mutually exclusive. For instance, you might see spiritually-based alcohol and drug rehabs that also use evidence-based philosophies.

In many situations, you may find that every addiction treatment program emphasizes a specific approach. This is how most of these rehabs are classified. That said, the most common types of addiction treatment facilities include:

1. Evidence-Based Rehab Centers

Evidence-based or Proof-based drug and alcohol rehabs most always construct their treatment on the science and research of substance abuse treatment. And because of this, they will provide treatment that is mostly based in psychology in addition to adjunctive 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 programs, the recovery protocols used tend to change on a regular basis dependent upon the results from the most recent results in research and science.

2. Religious-Based Rehabs

Religious-based drug and alcohol treatment facilities, on the other hand, are focused on the religious and spiritual facets of treatment. As a result, most of them lean on the 12-step philosophies in combination with spiritual practice - such as praying.

The underlying thought in a majority of these facilities is that sobriety comes from the Lord. In the United States of America - a predominantly Christian area - most faith-based rehabs are Christian. But, there are some alcohol and drug rehab facilities that focus on treating people from other religions and faiths.

In many instances, you will find that these organizational treatment centers are paid for by religious entity - as an example, the Salvation Army has treatment programs. That being said, most spiritually-based rehabs also promote philosophies based on abstinence.

3. 12-step Based Programs

Most of these programs base their treatment protocols and options on the twelve step philosophies in addition to the literature provided by AA and its various offshoots.

To this end, most all of these programs require that you engage in group work, attend offsite and onsite meetings, and meet up with a sponsor. During these activities, you will work on the steps that will enable you to look at your addiction from the twelve-step perspective.

Some of the centers in Ishpeming that are based on the 12-steps may also use other treatment protocols - such as individual psychotherapy.

4. Pharmacotherapy-Based Centers

Medicine-based programs look at addiction disorders as conditions that ought to be managed medically - in a similar was you would deal with other conditions such as diabetes.

To this end, they often write a prescription for such drugs as methadone or Suboxone to manage an addiction.

These kinds of drug and alcohol rehabs are, however, sometimes thought of as harm reducing because they can transfer your dependence from one drug to a different drug. For instance, the methadone might replace opioids and heroin.

On the other hand, there are medicines that a proven track record of deterring active drug abuse. As an example, Antabuse will make an alcoholic ill whenever they take alcohol. As a result, this treatment approach is useful at handling addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

Some drug and alcohol rehab facilities are unique and not suited to any of the methods described here so far. These centers offer cures that are not founded on any evidence-based treatment methods or protocols.

Alternatively, these facilities state that they have worked out unique ways of dealing with addiction and substance use disorders. However, they are open to doubt 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 Facilities

These are drug and alcohol rehabs 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 substance abuse treatment centers, instead, work on the belief that addicts might be able to lessen their consumption of addictive substances. Based on this belief, they argue that it's okay to have a glass of wine or so during dinner 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 making allowances for some substance use.

Most harm-reduction substance abuse treatment centers are found away from the reaches of traditional addiction treatment centers. A good example is a needle exchange plan.

The intention behind these plans is that not every addict is prepared for or desires guidance. For this reason, 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 that occurs from drug abuse, although addicted people continue using as they did before the intervention.
