Different Types Of Addiction Treatment in Lyndhurst, NJ.

As you can probably envision, not every drug and alcohol rehab center in Lyndhurst is the same. In fact, each of the facilities you come across will have its own individual notion as to what constitutes excellent treatment.

In the same way, the tools used at a facility will be dependent upon the individual philosophy the facility is founded upon. These protocols, however, are not mutually exclusive. For example, you might notice faith-based alcohol and drug treatment programs that also use evidence-based philosophies.

In many situations, you may find that each drug and alcohol rehab facility emphasizes a single philosophy. This is how most of these centers are classified. That said, the most common types of alcohol and drug rehabs include:

1. Evidence-Based Rehabs

Evidence-based drug and alcohol rehab facilities usually underpin their treatment on the research in addiction recovery. As such, they will provide treatment that is often based in psychology in addition to adjunctive protocols that are based on proven scientific research and is founded on what has been found to work for different types of addicts.

At these facilities, the recovery protocols used tend to change on a regular basis dependent upon the actual results from the latest results in science and research.

2. Spirtually-Based Facilities

Spiritually-based alcohol and drug rehab facilities, however, put their attention on the religious aspects of treatment. As a specific result, most of them rely on the twelve step programs in combination with spiritual practice - such as prayers and meditation.

The fundamental thought in a majority of these programs is that recovery comes from God. In the USA - a chiefly Christian area - most faith-based centers are Christian. But, there are also drug and alcohol treatment facilities that focus on offering treatment to addicts from other religions and faiths.

In most cases, you will find that these organizational recovery facilities are funded by religious group - with the recovery programs run by the Salvation Army providing an excellent example. That being said, most spiritually-based facilities also provide philosophies based on abstinence.

3. 12-step Based Facilities

Most of these programs base their recovery therapies and offerings on the 12-step programs as well as on the information provided by AA and its various branches.

To this end, most all of these facilities make 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 empower you to handle your issues from the 12-step point of view.

Some of the rehabs in Lyndhurst that are based on the twelve-steps may also involve other treatment modalities - such as individual therapy.

4. Medicine-Based Rehabs

Pharmacotherapy-based rehabs look at addiction and substance use issues as symptoms that should be handled in a medical setting - in a similar was you would deal with other conditions such as diabetes.

Because of this, they often prescribe the long term use of such drugs as Suboxone to manage an addiction.

These types of alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs 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 or Suboxone may take the place of opioids and heroin.

On the other hand, there are medicines that have been proven of deterring active substance abuse. For example, Antabuse makes and alcoholic sick when they drink. Because of this, this type of treatment is useful at handling addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

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

Instead, these centers say that their way of handling addiction issues is unique to them. But, they are questionable in the sense that they might not have proof of success or be able to provide evidence about their theories.

6. Harm-Reduction Based Rehabs

These are drug and alcohol rehab centers that generally believe 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 treatment facilities, instead, go with the belief that addicted people might be able to lessen their consumption of addictive substances. From this perspective, they argue that it is okay to take a glass of wine or so during lunch and will teach the clients how to do this with success. While going through this, you will learn how to keep a lid on your substance abuse problem while still allowing for some substance use.

Many harm-reduction drug and alcohol treatment programs are found apart from the reaches of traditional drug and alcohol treatment programs. One good example would be a needle exchange plan.

The intention behind these programs is that not every addict is prepared for or wants 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, these programs reduce the risk of disease transmittal which arises from drug abuse, although addicted people continue using as they did before the intervention.
