Other Residential Services - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - DHS, MD.

Residential rehabilitation for drug or alcohol addiction means a client lives at the facility while in care, which is different than outpatient treatment. The types of services delivered at a residential program in DHS can vary, but generally many facilities offer individual and group counseling, therapy and psychotherapy, and many programs follow the 12-step model of treatment. There are some residential programs that incorporate alternative or nontraditional services into their treatment methods, services which can augment traditional treatment and can help with the process of recovery in a big way.

Some samples of other services someone could expect are natural treatment and holistic practices integrated into the treatment program. A drug-free detox using vitamins and supplements and even a sauna to sweat out drugs and toxins is a   instance of this. This kind of alternative detoxification method also prevents toxins from staying in the system and creating possible problems and even flashbacks in the future. Many centers employ exercise including yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, meditation and massage therapy which can give relief from mental distress while also providing physical gains. There are residential centers, specifically for young people, that employ wilderness therapy which can help people get their self-confidence back and teach them the tools they need to stay drug and alcohol free and be able to enjoy life again.
