Residential rehabilitation for alcohol and drug addiction means a client lives at the center while in care, which is different than outpatient rehab. The type of care delivered at a residential program in Ulm can vary, but generally most programs offer group and individual counseling, therapy and psychotherapy, and many programs follow the twelve-step model of treatment. There are a few residential programs that use alternative/non-traditional services into their rehab methods, services which can add to traditional rehab and can help with the recovery process greatly.
Some examples of other services one could expect are natural rehab and holistic methods incorporated into the rehab program. A medicine free detoxification that uses supplements and vitamins and even a sauna to sweat out toxins is a example of this. This type of alternative detoxification approach also prevents toxins from lingering in the body and causing potential issues in the future. Many facilities employ exercise including yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, meditation and massage therapy which can give relief from mental distress while also offering physical gains. There are residential centers, specifically for young people, that employ out-of-doors therapies which can help people regain their self-confidence and teach them the techniques they need to stay drug and alcohol free and be able to love life again.
