Understanding Drug and Alcohol Treatment in Tempe, AZ.

Every year, millions enroll into drug addiction rehab centers in the United States alone. Whereas rehab benefits most of these individuals, many go to treatment only to relapse later. Actually, research shows that at least 1 in 10 recovering addicts have been to addiction treatment 5 or more times in the past.

If you are wanting to find a rehab program in Tempe but you are befuddled about the vast array of possibilities and programs, it is vital that you learn about what things you should look for while choosing a rehab center. This may end up saving you countless hours of wasted time and frustration.

If you know what you should ask the facility before committing yourself or a loved one to the rehab program, you may be in a better position to confidently pick a rehabilitation facility in Tempe that is properly suited your needs and requirements.

To help you make a proper choice, following below are some important factors that you may want to look at before you make the final choice:

a) Results

For starters, learn more about the kind of results you should count on from the facilities in question. Different facilities will have varied rates of success. Additionally, some programs have different ideas of success. Some consider success as being any person who completes and graduates the program whereas others define success as continued sobriety after a certain time period after graduating and leaving the program.

Therefore, you should sit down and think about the result that you think is acceptable and desirable prior to making your decision. After all, the decision is highly likely to act as the primary guide in your search for a facility.

Ultimately, it is your right to ask all treatment programs about what they define as successful. You will also want to ask about the facilities' success rate and compare the responses so that you can make educated decision.

b) Duration

Secondly, you should determine how long drug rehabilitation will take. In most cases, you will find that the facility provides either short term or long term rehabilitation - although occasionally you may find that some facilities deliver a mixture of both.

The most common form of rehab runs for 28 days. Although, this may not be long enough for you to gain dependable and persistent sobriety. After all, addiction is very complex and it includes both psychological and physical qualities - which need to be dealt with throughly before you are released from the program. This means that you might have to remain in the program longer than the typical 28 days for you to fully recover.

c) Medication

Figure out if the program plans to substitute another prescription drug for the substance you are addicted to. Today, many treatment programs administer Suboxone, buprenorphine, and methadone to clients addicted to such substances as alcohol, prescription painkillers, and heroin among others.

These programs are commonly referred to as harm reduction programs. The goal of the rehab may not always be complete sobriety, in some cases. Rather, it will focus on reducing the harm that you create when you abuse drugs and alcohol. This is achieved by giving the clients a structured replacement of prescription substitutes. In essence, however, the facility may only be trading one type of addiction and substance use disorder for another.

Thus, if you are aiming for complete recovery, it might be in your best interests to steer clear of any center that will use substitute medications in their rehabilitation strategy. Choosing such a program will end up falling short of your goals and aspirations of complete recovery and sobriety.

At the same time, find out if the program administers other drugs that might end up being addictive, harmful, or unnecessary. As you will come to quickly discover, a majority of the drug and alcohol rehab programs you sign up for focus their treatment methods with a pharmaceutical orientation. This means that they may depend on psychiatric drugs such as anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, and other stronger drugs to alleviate the distressing symptoms of those within the program.

Conversely, you may come across facilities that are more holistic in nature and believe that you first build your health up first when starting recovery by using exercise, minerals, and vitamins.

Such an improvement in overall mind and body wellness and health can end up creating improved mental calmness while simultaneously minimizing the symptoms of distress that you might be suffering from. This holistic, non-medical treatment model is the preferred method of recovery for a large percentage individuals and in most cases it is the most effective approach in terms of complete long-term sobriety and rehabilitation.

d) Cravings

When you go through drug and alcohol addiction recovery, you can struggle with strong cravings on a regular basis. Unfortunately, the majority treatment facilities don't have a direct method they can rely on to control these cravings and urges. These centers commonly offer prescription medications intended to chemically inhibit your cravings as well as continual counseling and support meetings to help you handle your urges.

An effective solution for this is to find a program with full body detoxification, nutritional strategies, and other methods to successfully help you minimize these cravings. In such a case, your opportunities for success will be better and you will be better able to focus on evolving your sober living strategies.

e) Nutrition

It is essential that you ask if they provide nutritional components. When first arriving at the facility for your individualized treatment plan, it is quite likely that you will be in a declined state of physical and psychological health.

Actually, research from University of Maryland Medical Center reported that the intestinal issues brought on by continual opiate use can bring about malnutrition whereas alcoholism is now linked to anemia and brain disease resulting from serious nutritional deficiency.

Hence, check that the substance abuse recovery center offers nutritional support so that any current deficiencies are definitely handled and repaired. Neglecting to do this can cause symptoms of irritation, lack of energy, lack of appetite, depression, and insomnia - conditions that can act as a hindrance to your recovery.

f) Like Skills

It might also serve you well to determine if the treatment program offers the recovering addict a set of life skills to promote and support a drug free lifestyle.

regardless of how good you feel when you leave the program, you might still face problems, influences, and stresses that can allure you to use alcohol or drugs again. Your old drug dealers and drug-using friends might end up contacting you. Alternatively, you could suffer a beak up or divorce, job loss, or any sort of setback - things that will be very stressful and compel you to relapse.

This means that it is vital that you obtain skills that you can apply to effectively handle these influences and situations. Thorough alcohol and drug treatment facilities should be in a position to teach the life skills you will need when facing the hardships and stresses of life. Failure to gain these skills can mean that you will lose all the improvements and progress you made as you underwent rehab.

g) Relapse

Determine if the treatment facility believes addiction as a chronic condition or one that claims that you will likely go through several relapses before you are finally able to kick the habit and achieve long-term sobriety.

Whereas there are so many types and kinds of rehab, the truth is that many of them feel that relapses are an ordinary aftermath of rehabilitation.

The rehab that fails to think of relapse as such a normal occurrence may be more successful in the long run. Additionally, it is very likely to be a long term rehab facility that will comprehensively address how you resolve the day to day problems you experience in life.

You might also achieve complete sobriety at the end of the program if the rehab delivers a solution you can count on to handle cravings. It can also improve your your ability to deal with life's problems and challenges and empower you enough so that you achieve complete sobriety once you compete the program.

Therefore, find out from all potential facilities if they feel addiction can be completely overcome when you go through their program and graduate. The answer they give will help you choose a facility that follows what you consider to be your personal philosophy about addiction and recovery.

i) Others

The other factors you may want to look into include but are not limited to whether the facility has received accreditation from the JCBH (the Joint Commission Behavioral Health).

This certification tends to create a culture of excellence right in the facility. It might also mean that facility's administration are coming up with programs to increase recovery effectiveness while also providing you with the long term value you require.
