What To Expect from Drug Treatment

Uncertain about how treatment     works?

Starting therapy is a huge step for anyone. There's a lot to consider. But for the people you love, for those who love you, and for yourself, getting drug and alcohol-free is one of the most important steps you'll ever take.

While no two journeys are exactly alike, they all share common goals and stages, and each begins with recognizing the problem...

Recognizing the Problem

First, are you seeking treatment for yourself or a loved one?

Choose a Facility

Finding high quality drug and alcohol treatment is critical  
  to success

Inpatient treatment requires a stay at a facility but can yield better results. Outpatient services offer increased flexibility but without the safety of a protected environment. Choose wisely (or get help making the choice)!

So, what accommodations would you or your loved one be most likely to use?

       

Completing an Assessment

Formulate a rehab  plan tailored to your specific needs

Creating an accurate drug history is the first thing that's done when entering treatment. It will help your treatment provider determine any medication that could help you or your loved one through the withdrawal period and guide the addiction therapy that will follow.

After the assessment has been completed, and you or your loved one is now situated, detoxification can begin...

Rehab

Be patient! Proper rehab will take time but it's worth it

After detox, you will be guided through group and individual therapy in a comfortable, relaxed environment, developing coping skills and building a support network.

Studies show that patients staying at least 30 days are less likely to relapse, with odds improving dramatically after 60 to 90 days...

 
 

Leaving Rehab

Completing treatment is a major     accomplishment

Congratulations! Once you have finished rehab, you should be ready and fully equipped to begin your clean and sober life. You’ll be empowered to better cope with life’s stressors and recognize possible relapse signs.

If you want the extra comfort and support of having your new peers help keep you substance-free, extended care facilities can also be helpful...

 

Extended Care

Extended care
gives you
ongoing support

When you feel you are ready to embrace your new lease on life, you are free to move on…
