Understanding Drug Rehab in Ashland City, TN.

Every year, countless individuals enroll into drug addiction rehab programs in the United States alone. Whereas rehabilitation helps most of these people, many go to rehab only to relapse later. In fact, studies show that at least 1 in 10 people have been to rehab 5 or more times in the past.

When you are wanting to select a facility in Ashland City but you are confused about the wide variety of options and programs, it is essential that you educate yourself on what things you should look out for while choosing a rehab center. This may end up saving you countless hours of frustration and wasted time.

When you know what to ask the facility before entrusting yourself or a loved one to the rehab program, you will be better able to accurately select a treatment center in Ashland City that best matches your specific needs and requirements.

To help you choose wisely, following below are some vital considerations that you may want to look into before you make the final decision:

a) Results

Most importantly, find out more about the kind of results you should count on from the facilities in question. Different programs tend to produce different results. Additionally, some programs have different definitions of success. Some think of success as being any client who completes and graduates the program whereas other programs consider success as still being clean and sober after a certain time period after graduating and leaving the program.

That said, you should take a moment to determine the result that you feel is acceptable and desirable before you make your decision. After all, the decision is highly likely to act as the primary guide in your search for a facility.

At the end of the day, it is your right to ask all rehab facilities you talk to about what they define as successful. You may also ask about the programs' success rate and compare the results so that you can make educated decision.

b) Duration

Secondly, you'll want to check the duration of the program. Usually, you may find that the program provides either long term or short term treatment - however some rehab centers deliver a mixture of both.

The most common form of rehab runs for 28 days. Therefore, this might not be long enough for you to gain confident and stable sobriety. After all, substance abuse and addiction is quite complicated and it incorporates both psychological and physical qualities - which ought to be worked on extensively before you are released from the facility. This could mean that you may have to remain in the program longer than the standard 28 days for you to fully recover.

c) Medication

Find out if the rehab facility plans to replace another prescription drug for the substance you are addicted to. Today, numerous rehab programs administer Suboxone, buprenorphine, and methadone to clients recovering from addiction to such substances as alcohol, prescription painkillers, and heroin among others.

Such programs are commonly referred to as harm reduction programs. The end result of the rehab may go beyond sobriety. Instead, it will focus on reducing the harm that you create when you abuse drugs and alcohol. This is accomplished by administering the clients a structured replacement of prescription substitutes. Essentially, however, the rehabilitation program may only be trading one form of addiction and substance use disorder for another.

That said, if you are looking for complete recovery, you may want to avoid any program that will use substitute medications in their rehabilitation method. Choosing this type of program may live up to your ambitions and aspirations of pure recovery and sobriety.

Similarly, determine whether the treatment program administers any other drugs or medications that might be harmful or addictive. As you may quickly find out, a majority of the drug rehabilitation programs you sign up for come with a pharmaceutical orientation. In other words they may depend on psychiatric drugs such as anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, and other powerful psychiatric drugs to medicate the emotional distress of clients within the program.

On the other hand, you may discover facilities that are more holistic in nature and prefer emphasizing that you first build your health up early in the path to full recovery by using exercise, minerals, and vitamins.

Such a focus on overall mind and body wellness and health can promote improved mental clarity while also minimizing the symptoms of distress that you might be suffering from. This holistic, non-medical treatment model is the preferred recovery method for many individuals struggling with addiction and in most cases it is the most successful recovery model in terms of absolute drug-free sobriety and rehabilitation.

d) Cravings

As you progress through recovery, you might experience extreme cravings on a daily basis. Unfortunately, most rehab centers won't have a direct method or process they can rely on to control these urges. These facilities sometimes offer prescription drugs designed to chemically inhibit your cravings as well as frequent counseling and support meetings to help you handle these urges.

The best solution for this is to select a program with full body detoxification, holistic supplement strategies, and other techniques to successfully help you alleviate these cravings. In this case, your chances of success will be better and you will be in a better position to focus on developing your sober living strategies.

e) Nutrition

It is important that you check if they offer nutritional components. When first arriving at the rehab center for your individualized treatment plan, it is quite likely that you will be in a poor state of physical and mental health.

Actually, a recent study from University of Maryland Medical Center stated that the intestinal issues brought on by constant opiate abuse may cause malnutrition while alcoholism is now associated with brain disease and anemia resulting from serious nutritional deficiency.

Therefore, find out if the drug and alcohol rehab program includes nutritional support to make sure that any current deficiencies are definitely dealt with and repaired. Failure to do this might mean that the deficiency symptoms might cause symptoms of lack of energy, irritation, lack of appetite, depression, and sleeplessness - symptoms that might impede your recovery.

f) Like Skills

It might also be beneficial to find out if the rehabilitation facility teaches their clients various life skills to empower and support a drug free lifestyle.

Irrespective of how good you feel after you leave the program, you might still encounter influences, problems, and cravings that may allure you to use alcohol or drugs again. Your old drug-using friends or drug dealers may end up contacting you. Rather, you could lose your job, suffer divorce or break up, or any similar setback - things that may raise your stress and coerce you to start using again.

Therefore, you should obtain skills that you can utilize to confidently deal with these influences. Thorough substance abuse rehabilitation centers will teach the life skills you need to have when confronted with the hardships and stresses of life. Failure to do this may result in losing all the gains and improvements you made as you underwent rehabilitation.

g) Relapse

Ask if the treatment facility defines addiction as a resolvable condition or one that claims that you need to have a number of relapses before you are able to kick the habit and achieve long-term sobriety.

Whereas there are so many different types and kinds of rehab, the reality is that most of them believe that relapses are a normal aftermath of rehabilitation.

The rehab that fails to think of relapse as such a normal occurrence may be more effective. More specifically, it is highly likely to also be a long term rehab program that will comprehensively address how you deal with the day to day issues you experience in life.

You might also achieve full sobriety after completing the program if the facility offers a solution you can rely on to handle substance cravings. It may also improve your your ability to deal with life's problems and stress and transform your thinking so that you accomplish full sobriety once you compete the program.

Thus, ask all potential rehab programs if they think addiction is something you can overcome when you go through their program and complete it. The response they provide will help you choose a facility that follows what you believe to be your personal philosophy with regards to addiction and recovery.

i) Others

The other considerations you may want to look into include but are not limited to whether the rehab center has earned accreditation from the JCBH (the Joint Commission Behavioral Health).

This accreditation reveals a culture of excellence within the facility. It might also mean that facility's administration are coming up with programs to increase recovery success while also providing you with long term value.
