Connecting Rehab Centers with those who need a helping hand
Whether you’re here investigating addiction therapy options for yourself or a loved one, it’s important to note that addiction is a complex disease, with potentially many underlying causes and conditions. Some addicts will be able to successfully detox and get sober for a short period of time; however, without participating in a professional therapy program, they’re unable to understand those underlying causes, meaning relapse is common. It’s paramount to understand the importance of long-term alcohol and drug rehab options, like outpatient programs to prevent relapse.
FAQ about drug and alcohol rehab
You might acknowledge the necessity of professional addiction treatment and be ready to call your first facility today, if so - browse Abilene rehab centers above. If not, we’ve answered some of our most frequently asked questions below:
Do I need to seek treatment in a detox center first?
It depends. For severe addictions or those addictions with dangerous withdrawal side effects, entering a detox center is crucial to safely manage those withdrawal symptoms. A detox center is a 24/7 supervised facility designed to medically treat and manage the effects of drug and alcohol withdrawal.
What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient rehab?
Inpatient rehab means the patient resides within the rehab facility, and is a higher level of addiction treatment and accountability (and cost). Inpatient stays can range, but usually last around 30 days. Outpatient rehab means the patient can live at home and come into the facility for therapy and treatment appointments. There are a variety of levels of intensity for outpatient rehab programs; some intensive outpatient programs have patients in treatment for up to 30 hours a week! It’s strongly recommended that a patient continue with an outpatient program once they graduate from an inpatient program.
How long does substance abuse treatment usually take?
It depends. To get sober, most stays at a detox center are around a week. Inpatient rehab stays last around 30 days on average, and for many outpatient programs, you can expect to participate for 3-6 months. It’s highly encouraged to continue with less intensive group therapy for a lifetime, though. Group therapy programs like Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous can provide the accountability and support a recovered addict needs once they’ve invested the time upfront in addiction therapy.
Can I admit someone into drug or alcohol rehab without their consent?
An adult (unless court-ordered) must voluntarily enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab facility themselves. You can encourage, support them, or even look into professional intervention services to aid in convincing an unwilling adult to seek treatment, though. A legal guardian is able to admit their minor into addiction treatment without the minor’s consent.
What should I ask an Abilene substance abuse clinic when evaluating?
Great question! You can ask for their certifications, accreditations, and if they’re part of any national substance abuse programs. Inquire about their therapists - how often have they been with the clinic, do they hold their Master’s degree, are they board-certified, etc. You can ask about both medicated and behavioral treatment options, about “success rate” for their clinic (although this can be highly anecdotal and depends on the time frames they’re considering). For inpatient facilities, ask about staff-to-resident ratios and group therapy sizes (the smaller, the better). Another great question is to ask their drug testing and relapse policy. Once you get a good feel for one or two facilities, go on a tour. Your intuition can tell you a lot about an addiction treatment facility!
