Different Types Of Rehabilitation in Signal Hill, CA.

As you can envision, not every alcohol and drug treatment program in Signal Hill is the same. As a matter of fact, each of the centers you come across will have its own individual notion as to what constitutes excellent treatment.

Similarly, the protocols used at a center will mostly depend on the individual principles it is founded upon. These categories, however, are not mutually exclusive. As an example, you may come across faith-based alcohol and drug treatment programs that also use evidence-based therapies.

In most situations, you will find that each drug and alcohol rehab center will emphasize a single approach. This is how most of these programs are classified. That said, the most common types of alcohol and drug rehab facilities include:

1. Evidence-Based Facilities

Evidence-based or Proof-based alcohol and drug rehabs tend to underpin their program on the research in addiction treatment. As such, they will provide treatment that is mostly focused on the mental and emotional in addition to ancillary treatments that are based on proven scientific research from proven results and case studies.

At these rehabs, the treatment therapies applied tend to change on a regular basis contingent upon the results from the latest results in science and research.

2. Faith-Based Programs

Faith-based addiction treatment facilities, however, are focused on the religious facets of rehab. As a direct result, most of them lean on the twelve step philosophies in combination with religious practice and ritual - such as prayers and meditation.

The overriding belief in a majority of these rehabs is that sobriety comes from God. In the U.S. - a largely Christian area - most spiritually-based facilities are Christian. However, there are some substance abuse treatment centers dedicated to providing healing and relief for recovering addicts from other religions.

In most cases, you will find that these type of recovery programs are paid for 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 abstinence-based programs.

3. Twelve Step Based Facilities

Most of these programs base their treatment protocols and options on the twelve step philosophies as well as on the literature provided by Alcoholics Anonymous and its other branches.

As a result, most of these facilities will require that you engage in meetings, group work, and meet up with a sponsor. During this time, you will go through the steps that will enable you to face your issues from the twelve-step perspective.

Some of the centers in Signal Hill that are based on the twelve-steps may also involve other recovery modalities - such as complementary therapeutic practices and one-on-one psychotherapy.

4. Medicine-Based Facilities

Medicine-based rehabs look at substance use and addiction issues as conditions that should be managed medically - in much the same way you would handle other diseases like high blood pressure.

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

These types of alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are, however, sometimes classified as harm-reducing because they can transfer your dependence from one drug to another. For example, the Suboxone or methadone might take the place of heroin and opoids.

However, there are medicines that a proven track record of deterring active drug abuse. As an example, Antabuse makes and alcoholic sick when they drink. As a result, such a type of treatment is productive at handling addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

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

Instead, these facilities report that their way of handling addiction issues is unique to them. But, they are problematic in the sense that 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 Centers

These are drug and alcohol rehabs 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 substance abuse treatment facilities, instead, work on the belief that addicts might be able to lessen their consumption of addictive substances. From this perspective, they claim that it's okay to enjoy a glass or so of wine or beer during dinner and will teach the clients how to do this with success. In the process, you will learn how to keep a lid on your addiction while still allowing for some substance use.

Most harm-reduction drug and alcohol rehab centers are found away from the reaches of conventional alcohol and drug treatment facilities. A good example is a needle exchange program.

The concept behind these plans is that not every addict is ready for or wants guidance. Hence, 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. By so doing, these programs reduce the risk of disease transmission which arises from drug abuse, even though addicted people continue to use as they did before the intervention.
