How Drug Rehab Can Keep You Out of Trouble
Entering drug or alcohol abuse treatment is the best way for a drug dependent person to stay out of trouble. Drug dependence involves taking many risks of severe injury and criminal complications. Arrests, driving while intoxicated, and efforts to get illegal drugs are the kinds of risks that keep families and loved ones on edge. Health risks take the form of drug overdoses, exposures to chronic diseases, and permanent injury to vital organs and systems. Drug treatment puts a stop to risks and potential injuries, and detoxification cleanses the body and prepares the addict for recovery.
Choosing Recovery
The decision to enter drug treatment signals an opportunity to turn away from drug addiction and the risks to safety, health, and freedom. Treatment identifies the causes of addiction and also reveals other condition that require treatment. Drug addiction sometimes masks other physical or mental conditions that need care. The treatment plan can vary with the individual and their life circumstances. Options range from inpatient care with intensive counseling to outpatient care and drug maintenance. Wherever the starting point, the goal is learning to make decisions that result in long-term, drug-free sobriety. Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are one such option.
Treatment Options
Treatment can take many forms. Treatment experts recommend inpatient detoxification and treatment or patients who require maximum support and full-time professional attention. Other cases use outpatient treatment and counseling that allows recovering addicts to maintain many aspects of their normal routines like work, school, and family obligations. A successful treatment plan must do more than address the addiction, and there may be other mental or physical conditions that require treatment. Long-term sobriety requires treatment of the whole person and not just the addiction. Dual diagnosis treatment programs can be particularly effective in these cases.
