Drug Rehab Treatment

If you or a loved one is having problems with drugs or alcohol, you may wonder how drug rehab treatment can help. After all, can’t you just quit on your own? Why do you need to go and check into a facility for a month just to quit drinking or taking drugs? If you’re asking these questions, you’re not alone. Whether you need help or you’re considering help for a friend or family member, you want to know: What is drug rehab treatment and does it work?

Because of the complex nature of alcoholism and drug addiction, there is no simple answer. Drug rehab treatment differs with each facility based on the implementation of program materials. Drug rehab treatment also differs with each individual based on his or her experience, ideas, beliefs, underlying issues and personal struggles with alcoholism or drug addiction. These variables make each experience unique with no real determination for how effective treatment will be. Therein, the dominant factor that determines success of drug or alcohol treatment lies not with the drug rehab center, but with the individual.

The journey from addiction to recovery is one of self-discovery and ultimately, freedom. Freedom from old ideas, beliefs, experiences, resentments and pain that provide tremendous motivation for drug and alcohol abuse. As human beings, if we are in pain and cannot escape the situation we’re in either because we don’t know how or simply cannot, we will escape any way possible. The abusive relationship becomes more tolerable when we’re loaded. The pang of rejection doesn’t sting so bad after a few martinis. If we haven’t been taught how to handle negative feelings in a healthy manner, when we are afraid or in pain we will seek any way we can to relieve it. For those who turn to drugs and alcohol, the need for drug rehab treatment is inevitable.

The journey from addiction to freedom requires a transformation at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. At SouthCoast Recovery in Dana Point, California, we offer a comprehensive program that combines clinical and holistic therapies with introduction to the disease model of addiction and the 12-step methodology. Clinical therapy and drug & alcohol counseling serve to address the underlying emotional issues that could be contributing to alcoholism and drug addiction while holistic therapies such as acupuncture and massage help release emotional and physical stress in a healthy manner. Education on the nature of addiction help clients understand the effects of the disease on mind, body and spirit while introduction to the 12-step model serves to incorporate a method of support that is available during and following treatment.
