Every drug treatment center is aware that inpatient drug treatment or a stay-in rehabilitation program is the most effective of all substance abuse treatment protocols.

STAY-IN ARRANGEMENTS

Inpatient drug treatment requires the patient to check himself into a drug treatment center and stay there for the duration or the program, or for as long as necessary until he is cured of his addiction.

The truth is that any substance abuse treatment program is not as simple as eliminating the source of the problem such as alcohol or drugs. Substance abuse is more complicated than that; and often the drug or alcohol addiction is just a symptom of a deeper emotional problem.

An inpatient drug center aims at a holistic approach to treating drug addiction. Apart from the physiological help, a stay-in drug treatment center also aims to resolve emotional issues that plague the patient.

The program of an inpatient drug center aims to rehabilitate the entire individual; giving you the necessary support system you need to make a full recovery and avoid any cases of relapse once you get out of the center.

RE-ASSIMILATE INTO SOCIETY

Of course the more important aspect of any rehabilitation program is what happens after. More than treating the addiction, an inpatient drug treatment facility must be able to anticipate the problems that their patients may encounter while they try to re-assimilate themselves to society.

Most relapse cases are actually brought about by the inability to adjust to normal living. That is why it is very important for substance abuse rehabilitation programs to include career guidance and counseling as well.

More than just treating the addiction, an integrated program must be put in place to equip the patient with the skills and competencies needed to become productive members of society. Once a treatment program achieves this, only then can success be claimed.
