Different Types Of Rehab in Leonardo, NJ.

As you can probably envision, not every drug and alcohol treatment program in Leonardo is the same. As a matter of fact, each of the rehabs you encounter will have their own individual idea about what should constitute quality treatment.

In a similar way, the treatments applied at a center will mostly depend on the individual philosophy the program is founded upon. These categories, however, can be combined in various ways. For example, you might see spiritually-based addiction treatment centers that also use evidence-based therapies.

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

1. Evidence-Based Rehabs

Evidence-based drug and alcohol rehabs most always construct their program on the science and research of substance abuse recovery. As such, they will extend care that is often psychologically-based in addition to adjunctive therapies that are research and scientifically based from proven results and case studies.

At these centers, the recovery protocols used tend to change on a regular basis depending on the results coming out from the latest findings in science and research.

2. Faith-Based Facilities

Faith-based alcohol and drug rehab centers, however, are focused on the religious facets of recovery. As a result, most of them rely on the twelve step philosophies combined with religious ritual - such as meditation and prayers.

The overriding thought in most of these rehabs is that recovery comes from God. In the U.S. - a largely Christian area - most religious-based programs are Christian. However, there are also drug and alcohol treatment facilities that focus on treating people from other religions and faiths.

For the most case, you will find that these recovery facilities are funded by religious entity - as an example, the Salvation Army has treatment programs. That said, most faith-based rehabs also promote philosophies based on abstinence.

3. Twelve Step Based Rehabs

Most of these programs base their recovery protocols and offerings on the 12-step philosophies coupled with the information provided by AA and its various branches.

Because of this, most of these centers will require that you participate in meetings, group work, and regular meetings with your sponsor. During this time, you will work on the steps that will enable you to face your addiction from the twelve step point of view.

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

4. Pharmacotherapy-Based Programs

Pharmacotherapy-based programs view substance abuse disorders as symptoms that ought to be managed medically - in much the same way you would handle other conditions such as diabetes.

To this end, they often prescribe the long term use of such medications as methadone or Suboxone for the management of addiction.

These kinds of substance abuse treatment centers are, however, sometimes thought of as harm reducing because they can pass on your addiction from one substance to a different drug. For example, the Suboxone may replace heroin.

But, 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. As a result, this type of medicine is effective at handling addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

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

Instead, these centers state that they have worked out unique ways of dealing with addiction and substance use disorders. But, they are questionable in the sense that they will probably not be able to provide you with proof of success or be able to provide evidence about their theories.

6. Harm-Reduction Based Rehabs

These are alcohol and drug rehab programs that theorize 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 alcohol and drug rehab facilities, instead, work on the belief that addicts can use less of the substance in question. Based on this belief, they argue that it is okay to take a glass of wine or so during lunch or dinner and will teach the patients how to do this with success. While going through this, you will learn how to keep a lid on your addiction while still allowing for some substance use.

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

The intention behind these programs is that not every addicted person is prepared for or wants help. Therefore, they are intended for 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. In doing so, these programs reduce the risk of disease transmittal which arises from drug abuse, even though addicted people continue to use as they did prior to the intervention.
