Battle Ground Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation and Treatment

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation and treatment can take many different forms. For example, for most people who have an addiction to drugs or alcohol, dependence exists as well.

Dependence and addiction are two separate conditions. Dependence refers to the physiological dependence a person has on a substance. As someone stops using that substance, withdrawal symptoms may occur. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and often require professional, inpatient monitoring and medical treatment.

Detox is just one part of the spectrum of addiction treatment, however. There are also inpatient rehabilitation programs where a person checks into a facility. There are outpatient rehab programs offering more flexibility, and there are partial hospitalization programs that are somewhere in the middle of inpatient and outpatient rehab.

What Is the Process Like in a Drug Detox and Rehab Facility?

When someone goes to a drug detox and rehab facility, what can they expect? What is the drug treatment process like or the process to treat alcohol addiction?

Intake Assessment

The first phase of treatment after admissions is an intake assessment. During this time, multidisciplinary treatment providers assess the patient and determine their physical and mental health care needs and create an individualized treatment plan.

Medical Detox

Most people who struggle with addictions to drugs or alcohol benefit from an inpatient medical detox to help manage their symptoms as they go through withdrawal and cleanse their bodies of drugs. Once the intake process ends, the patient may begin detox. Following the completion of detox, which may be days or weeks depending on the person and their substance use, the next phase of treatment begin, which may include inpatient care.

Transition to Further Treatment

After detox, a person can transition to inpatient care, partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient care. Addiction treatment usually involves a combination of different therapies and approaches including group therapy, individual counseling, and recreational therapy.

Aftercare

Before someone’s treatment program ends, the final phase of a treatment plan is aftercare planning and relapse prevention strategies.

Finding the Best Rehab Program for You

A person’s overall level of comfort with a treatment program can be a good indicator of successful long-term outcomes. Choosing the right rehab program depends on certain factors.

Consider the following when finding the best rehab center:

  • What types of programs are available? For example, is the level of care you need available? If you have a severe addiction or you’ve gone through previous rehabs before and relapsed, you may need intensive treatment so is that available?
  • What is the staff of the treatment center like? Are they engaged and compassionate? What are their individual credentials? Have any of the staff members also gone through addiction, so they have an empathetic understanding of what patients are going through?
  • Would you prefer a certain type of treatment, such as single gender or a religious program?

What Questions Should You Ask When Considering a Treatment Program?

As you’re exploring treatment programs, your mind may be racing. There’s so much to think about, ranging from the location of the facility to the level of care available.

Many treatment programs are addiction-specific facilities. This means that they may specialize in the treatment of alcoholism, certain drugs or perhaps behavioral health disorders like sex addiction.

Some questions that can help guide the process to choose a program include:

Is Your Treatment Facility Licensed and Accredited?

As with any mental or physical health care facility, it’s important for a substance abuse treatment program to be properly licensed and accredited. As you compare rehab facilities, be aware the highest level of accreditation for a rehab facility is the Joint Commission Behavioral Health accreditation. When a center has this accreditation, it means an outside panel of experts has reviewed the center and validated the care and services they provide.

What Is Your Approach to Addiction Treatment?

Drug addiction is a complex, chronic disorder. Addiction affects brain chemistry, mental health, physical health and every other aspect of someone’s life. Addiction treatment needs to take into account this complexity. A rehab center should approach addiction treatment compassionately, but also based on research and scientific evidence as to what works well. Most addiction treatment programs utilize a combination of modalities. For example, talk therapy may be combined with holistic treatments, and medication management when necessary.

How Much Will Treatment Cost?

The costs of treatment vary based on factors such as how long someone stays in a program, the amenities offered by the treatment facility and the level of care. For example, an inpatient long-term rehab stay is likely going to cost more than outpatient rehab or a shorter-term inpatient program. Many people don’t realize that the cost of treatment is often covered at least partially by insurance. Private health insurance coverage for addiction treatment and mental health was expanded significantly under the Affordable Care Act.

Do You Offer Detox?

Having a medical detox can be an important part of a complete treatment program. Detoxing from many substances, including alcohol, can be dangerous or even deadly. The risks and symptoms of withdrawal can be appropriately treated in medical detox. If someone can participate in detox in the same facility where they’re receiving treatment it can make for a smoother transition.
