Different Types Of Rehabilitation in Longview, WA.

As you can envision, not every drug and alcohol rehab center in Longview is the same. As a matter of fact, each of the facilities you encounter will have their own unique notion about what should constitute quality treatment.

In the same way, the protocols applied at a center will be dependent upon the individual philosophy it is founded upon. These protocols, however, are not mutually exclusive. For example, you may see spiritually-based drug and alcohol rehab facilities that also use evidence-based philosophies.

In most cases, you will find that every drug and alcohol rehab program will emphasize a single approach. This is how most of these programs are classified. That said, the most common types of substance abuse treatment centers include:

1. Evidence-Based Rehabs

Evidence-based or Proof-based alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs usually underpin their treatment on the research in substance abuse recovery. And because of this, they will provide care that is mostly based in psychology in addition to ancillary treatments that are research and scientifically based and is founded on what has been found to work for different types of addicts.

At these rehabs, the treatment protocols applied tend to change on a regular basis depending on the actual results coming out from the latest findings in the research and scientific work.

2. Faith-Based Centers

Faith-based substance abuse treatment centers, on the other hand, put their attention on the spiritual and religious facets of treatment. As a specific result, most of them lean on the 12-step programs combined with religious ritual - such as prayers.

The fundamental thought in most of these rehabs is that sobriety comes from the Lord. In the USA - a mostly Christian country - most spiritually-based rehabs are Christian. However, there are also addiction treatment facilities that focus on treating people from other religions.

For the most case, you will find that these treatment facilities are funded by a specific religious entity - as an example, the Salvation Army has treatment programs. That said, most religious-based programs also provide philosophies based on abstinence.

3. Twelve Step Based Programs

Most of these centers base their treatment therapies and options on the twelve step programs as well as on the literature provided by Alcoholics Anonymous and its other branches.

Because of this, most all of these programs require that you engage in meetings, group work, and finding a sponsor. During this time, you will regularly work on the steps that will enable you to look at your issues from the twelve-step perspective.

Some of the centers in Longview that are based on the 12-steps of addiction recovery may also use other treatment options - such as individual therapy.

4. Medicine-Based Centers

Pharmacotherapy-based rehabs look at addiction issues as symptoms that ought to be fixed medically - in a similar was you would deal with other diseases such as diabetes or cancer.

To this end, they will often write a prescription for such meds as methadone to manage an addiction.

These kinds of alcohol and drug rehab centers are, however, sometimes classified as harm-reducing because they might pass on your addiction from one substance to another. For instance, the Suboxone might take the place of opioids and heroin.

However, there are medicines that a proven track record of deterring active alcohol abuse. For example, Antabuse makes an alcohol abuser ill when they consume alcohol. Because of this, this treatment approach is productive at handling addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

Some alcohol and drug treatment facilities are unique and not suited to any of the methods described here so far. These centers offer remedies that are not proven and may be experimental.

Instead, these programs suggest that they have worked out unique ways of dealing with addiction and substance use disorders. But, they are open to doubt in the sense that they might not have proof of success or any other evidence to back up the claims they make.

6. Harm-Reduction Based Rehabs

These are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs that generally believe that people suffering from addiction and a variety of substance use disorders are not completely capable of abstinence or that they do not want to stop using drugs and alcohol entirely.

These addiction treatment programs, instead, go with the belief that addicted individuals might be able to lessen their consumption of addictive substances. Based on this belief, they argue that it is alright to have a glass of wine or so during dinner and will teach the patients how to do this with success. While going through this, you may learn how to keep a lid on your substance abuse problem while still allowing for some substance use.

Many harm-reduction drug and alcohol rehab facilities are found apart from the reaches of conventional alcohol and drug rehab facilities. A good example is a needle exchange plan.

The intention behind these plans is that not every addicted person is ready for or wants help. For this reason, they are intended for attempting to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases such as hepatitis and HIV by providing IV drug users with clean needles free of charge. In doing so, these programs reduce the risk of disease transmission that occurs from drug abuse, although addicted people continue using as they did prior to the intervention.
