Different Types Of Rehab in Walnut Ridge, AR.

As you can imagine, not every substance abuse treatment facility in Walnut Ridge is the same. As a matter of fact, each of the programs you come across will have their own individual notion as to what excellent treatment is all about.

Similarly, the techniques used at a facility will mostly depend on the individual philosophy it is founded upon. These protocols, however, can be combined in various ways. For example, you might notice religious-based drug and alcohol treatment programs that also use evidence-based therapies.

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

1. Evidence-Based Rehabs

Evidence-based alcohol and drug rehab facilities usually underpin their treatment on the science of substance abuse recovery. And because of this, they will provide care that is mostly psychologically-based as well as ancillary protocols that are research and scientifically based from proven results and case studies.

At these places, the treatment protocols applied often change regularly dependent upon the results coming out from the most recent results in the research and scientific work.

2. Spirtually-Based Centers

Religious-based alcohol and drug rehab centers, on the other hand, are focused on the religious facets of recovery. As a result, most of them rely on the twelve-step programs combined with religious practice - such as prayers.

The overriding thought in a majority of these centers is that sobriety comes from God. In the USA - a predominantly Christian region - most spiritually-based centers are Christian. But, there are also alcohol and drug rehab facilities that focus on offering treatment to addicts from other religions.

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

3. Twelve Step Based Centers

Most of these facilities base their recovery protocols and offerings on the twelve-step programs in addition to the literature produced by Alcoholics Anonymous and its other offshoots.

As a result, most of these programs make you engage in meetings, group work, and regular meetings with your sponsor. During these activities, you will go through the steps that will empower you to handle your issues from the twelve-step point of view.

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

4. Pharmacotherapy-Based Rehabs

Medicine-based centers look at addiction and substance use issues as symptoms that ought to be handled medically - in a similar was you would handle other diseases like diabetes.

To this end, they often write a prescription for such meds as Suboxone and methadone for the management of addiction.

These kinds of drug and alcohol rehabs are, however, sometimes thought of as harm reducing because they might transfer your addiction from one substance to another. For example, the methadone might take the place of heroin and opoids.

But, there are medicines that have been proven of deterring active alcohol abuse. For example, Antabuse makes and alcoholic sick when they drink. As a result, this type of medicine is productive at managing addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

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

Instead, these rehabs say that they have worked out unique ways of dealing with addiction and substance use disorders. But, they are questionable because they might 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 drug and alcohol treatment programs 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 drug and alcohol rehab facilities, instead, go with the belief that addicted individuals might be able to lessen their consumption of addictive substances. From this perspective, they claim that it is okay to have a glass or so of wine or beer during lunch or dinner and will teach the patients how to do this with success. While going through this, you may learn how to control your substance abuse problem while still allowing for some substance use.

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

The theory behind these programs is that not every addict 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. By so doing, these programs reduce the risk of disease transmission arising from drug abuse, although addicts continue to use as they did before the intervention.
