How Does Residential Rehab Centres Work

By James Handforth

The most increasing problem of the youth today is drug addiction to causing many health problems. A person addicted to drugs slowly, and unconsciously become dependent on it, as he/she is consuming it on the regular basis in great quantity thus reducing his immunity, it is a condition defined in pathology and is generally diagnosed through body fluids.

A person dependant on drugs gets addicted passing through three different stages. At the first stage, he just takes drug as and when the feel the urge. This drug intake becomes a regular routine, which passes on to the second stage where a person gets satisfaction from the regular dose of the drug. In this way, the drug intake increases, taking the addict to stage three at which, he surpasses the level of intoxication, and loses interest in his life and the surroundings, his tolerance level decreases and he seems to become an introvert.

For people who want to get rid of this habit, and bring their lives back to normalcy, a large number of rehabilitation centres have opened up to cater to the needs of such people, so they can have a place to get rid of this habit. Mostly, the rehabilitation centres are built close to the nature, in the areas where there is less human population, and the beauty of nature is in abundance, so that people can experience this beauty, and it definitely affects their mood and morale in a positive manner.

The residential rehab centres design their treatment policies based on the type of drugs, and on the level, and intensity of intoxication. All the patients and their activities at the residential rehab centres are taken care for by highly trained staff. Every patient has a set timetable for various activities during the day, and he must follow this schedule of sleeping, eating, attending therapy meeting, and getting psychiatric and therapeutic sessions.

All measures are taken to ensure an absolute disconnection from prohibited substances like, drugs, and alcohol. Psychiatric treatment advised by a psychiatrist is also directed to the patient. A visiting time is set for family, and friends, which allows the patient to gain motivation, and encouragement for the healing process.

Residential rehab centres usually offer luxury suites, an indoor gym, and masseuses available on call, personal chefs, Jacuzzi, and other private amenities exclusive to all the members that help in uplifting the morale of the patients, which facilitates the detoxification process. Residential rehab centres are generally expensive because of the lavish environment settings, fully equipped and trained staff, and experienced consultants.

All the money that you put into a residential rehab centre does not go to waste, because the package also contains the out-patient therapy sessions, which are given after the patient is discharged from the rehab centre. Mostly, the results of the treatment at residential rehab centre are very positive, as they have helped in getting people off the drugs and addictions for the rest of their lives and helped them in getting rid of the impurities. The residential rehab centres does not stand any lousy behaviour on the part of any patient regarding treatment, and it definitely does not stand any alcohol consumption. They should be free of alcohol, and completely sober. At the time of admittance to the rehab centre, they sign a contract that they would have to leave the rehab centre if they are found to be consuming alcohol.

When the patients suddenly give up on drugs, they go through severe conditions for which they are given medications. Once the patients become a little stable, and get over the initial severe problems, then the procedure of rehabilitation centre starts. Apart from other treatments, spiritual treatment is an important part of the process of residential rehab centres renowned as the twelve-step recovery method. - 29881
