Residential rehabilitation for alcohol or drug addiction means someone lives at the center while being treated, as opposed to outpatient treatment. The types of services rendered at a residential program in May can vary, but generally many facilities offer individual and group counseling, therapy and psychotherapy, and many programs follow the twelve-step model of rehab. There are a few residential centers that offer alternative or nontraditional services into their rehab methods, services which can add to normal treatment and help with the recovery process in a big way.
Some samples of different types of care someone could expect are natural treatment and holistic methods incorporated into the rehab program. A med free detoxification using supplements and vitamins and even a sauna to sweat out toxins and drugs is a great example of this. This type of alternative detoxification approach also prevents toxins and drugs from lingering in your system and creating possible issues and even flashbacks in the future. Many facilities utilize exercise including yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, meditation and massage therapy which can help provide relief from psychological stresses while also providing physical benefits. There are residential programs, specifically for young people, that utilize out-of-doors therapies which can help clients regain their self-confidence and give them the tools they need to remain drug-free and be able to enjoy life again.
