Residential treatment for alcohol and drug addiction means a client lives at the facility while being treated, as opposed to outpatient treatment. The type of care delivered at a residential program in Ford can vary, but traditionally many programs offer individual and group counseling, psychotherapy, and many programs follow the 12-step model of treatment. There are a few residential programs that offer alternative or nontraditional services into their rehab methods, types of care which can add to normal rehab and can help with the process of recovery in a big way.
Some examples of other types of care someone might expect are holistic treatment and holistic practices incorporated into the rehab program. A medicine free detox that uses supplements and vitamins and even a sauna to sweat out drugs and toxins is a instance of this. This type of different detoxification approach also prevents toxins and drugs from staying in the body and creating possible issues in the future. Many facilities employ exercise including yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, meditation and massage therapy that can help provide relief from mental stress while also providing physical benefits. There are residential centers, particularly for young people, that use wilderness therapy that can help individuals get their self-confidence back and teach them the techniques they need to remain sober and be able to love life again.
