Effective Rehab Centers

An effective drug & alcohol rehab center program would give you and your family that person fully back again. A rehab center would fully and completely detoxify someone so their health was fully restored and they no longer had any drug cravings.

Any depression associated with a drug or alcohol abusing lifestyle would be fully resolved through the rehab process, not medications. A client would leave their old past life style and depression behind and be happy again. Much of the depression caused by drug & alcohol abuse is resolved with intensive holistic detox programs, see Effective Detox Program philosophy.

The damage created by abusive living results in guilt. Restoration of wrongs done should be part of a drug / alcohol rehab program. Restoring self esteem and personal integrity is an action done while in rehab. Inpatient rehab centers have the task of helping and encouraging clients to fully regain self respect.

Families can insist that integrity processing be fully completed. Courtesy, respect and honesty are expected behaviors of people properly completing rehab.

Therefore a person completing a detox and rehab program would be: without drug or alcohol cravings, healthy, responsible, honest, friendly and in communication, contribute and consider themselves a member of society again. They would be REHABILITATED.

The Rehab Centers I currently work with rehab and detox centers that average 1 to 5 months in length. While medical detox is usually short, days or weeks at the most, rehab is a longer process. I work with detox and rehab centers in the U.S. in the states of Florida, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Manhattan, Colorado, Texas, Nevada, California, Utah, Michigan and Georgia.

In Canada I have work closely with effective detox and rehab centers in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. The drug & alcohol detox & centers I work with in BC and Alberta specialize in one on one consultations and therapies both therapeutic and educational rehab programs are utilized.

I also refer people to a center in the UK, and coordinate with a rehab consultant in London, if you are looking for quality rehab and live in Europe or the Middle East.

What rehabs don’t work

Rehab centers and detox centers are not created equally. Many rehab programs are simply working out of a hospital or riding off of insurance claimants attending their program. These centers usually won’t post success rates. They teach clients that “relapse is part of recovery” as a method of excusing ineffective treatments.

Recovery and Rehabilitation should be synonymous. Sending addicts home before they are fully detoxified and rehabilitated is the cause of most rehab failure. If a person is still ‘recovering’ then they haven’t recovered, have they?

Factually, there are social fellowships which aid and contribute to ones sobriety. These fellowships and organizations are wonderful. But social fellowships are for those who are clean and sober. My point is that rehab programs have a start and a finish. Rehab is complete after recovery is achieved.

Low cost half way house

Therapeutic communities can offer wonderful support to a person recovering from a long lifestyle of addiction. Low cost ½ Way Houses are one way to transition back to responsible living in society.

Some rehab programs expect transition into a ½ Way House after a rehab program. Other rehab centers expect the person to have achieved a returned level of responsibility by the time they complete a rehab program.

Therefore a low or lower cost half way house is intended to either transition a person from rehab to real life, or confirm that a rehab program was effective before moving back into society. People who have no or few work related skills should consider transitional housing as part of a rehab plan.
