Treatment Styles

Every treatment facility has an underlying philosophy or style that informs the way they shape and structure their program. Religious and spiritual drug rehab programs include services or prayer times according to the tenets of their beliefs. Alternative or holistic programs offer therapies that treat the mind-body connection as opposed to just treating physical addiction. Traditional treatment programs are usually based on the 12 step ideology.  Each one will offer different amenities, classes, and therapies that inform or support their treatment style.

Treatment Types

For every style of treatment available, there are multiple types to choose from. There are inpatient or residential treatments that provide room and board as well as detox and addiction treatment. Outpatient programs offer just addiction treatment through therapy, group sessions and educational classes without requiring an overnight stay. Some go for natural approaches to addiction treatment, while some prefer to undergo medical treatment. Other treatment types provide for certain services only or treat addiction to a specific drug or class of drugs.Each one has its own benefits and considerations and no one program will be right for everyone across the board. It’s important that you call and ask questions to get the specifics of what is provided by the facility you are interested in. If you are concerned that you might like to try an outpatient or inpatient program with the option to switch over if it doesn’t seem to be working for you, ask the center ahead of time for their guidelines as this, too, will vary from treatment center to treatment center.
