Choosing the Right Drug and Alcohol Rehab Is Crucial
Is your loved one engaging in destructive behavior? Are you aware of his drug use, but unable to help him manage his drug addiction? Is his life taking a turn for the worse due to his inability to stop using drugs? If you can answer yes to these questions, it may be time to start considering drug rehab.
You may feel alone in your quest to help your loved one, but you’re not. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that an estimated 100 million Indians suffer from drug and alcohol addiction. This staggering statistic reflects the far-reaching influence of illicit drug use in India. Despite the vast number of those suffering from drug addiction, only 11 percent of the affected population receives adequate drug rehab treatments.
It’s imperative for those suffering from drug addiction to seek treatment. Rehab programs for drug addiction targets drug dependence by eliminating drug use and therefore counteracting the negative impacts and behavior patterns created by drug addiction. Like diabetes, drug addiction is a chronic illness that requires ongoing management and may have setbacks along the way. Those who have learned the tools practiced during treatment, however, will be better equipped in the long run to successfully overcome relapse and work towards long term, meaningful recovery.
3 Indicators of Quality Treatment
If you are deciding on an alcohol and drug rehab facility, there are certain indicators of effective treatment that you should consider. The following principles will help guide your decision in choosing a valuable treatment provider.
Addiction is a complicated but treatable disease that directly influences behavior and brain function.
Well-rounded treatment providers understand that drugs impact the way the brain works even after drug use has stopped. The potential for relapse even after long-term abstinence remains a key-concern of addiction treatment centers.
A one-size-fits-all approach does not work for everyone.
The best treatment providers understand that drug use results from a variety of factors, and they design individualized treatment plans accordingly. By tailoring treatment to meet specified needs, rehab facilities can maximize the potential for successfully recovery.
Duration of treatment influences recovery outcomes.
Depending on the degree of addiction, appropriate lengths of treatment can vary. While most addicted people require at least three months of treatment to positively influence drug use, this time frame may be longer due to the possibility of relapse. Effective treatment centers recognize this need, and must continuously work to keep patients engaged in treatment, including residential, outpatient, and support services.
Lotus Wellness Rehab specializes in creating individualized drug and alcohol rehab treatments using the latest evidence-based research available. We work with families to help promote support networks for patients. We also urge family members to reach out for help when their loved ones cannot. Don’t hesitate to get treatment for your own loved one who needs help.
Availability of good space
Always search for a rehabilitation centre which has a good space. There must be at least a distance of 3 feet in two beds. It is never advisable to take a separate room for a patient. When more people are in the same room, they will discuss their problems with one another. While selecting a room, make sure that the room is well ventilated.
Permission to contact the family members
Choose the rehab that allows the family at least a week to meet up. The lotus rehab centre program invites family members for family therapy.
In case the meeting is not allowed, make sure that there is a facility of CCTV, for the activities of the patients can be seen, and family members may see the changes taking place in the patient.
Safe & hygienic accommodation
In some cases, it is found that addicted people keep the tendencies of suicide. They take everything very seriously. The place should have proper safety so that anyone trying to harm themselves could be prevented.
Trained and cordial staffs
We cannot ignore the importance of support staff at any addiction treatment centre. The place should have an administrator, a general physician, psychiatrist, counselor, cook, helper, and more.
The problem of addiction can be treated through 60 % percent meditation and 40% counseling. Meeting with a Psychiatrist should be frequent, which can be a medium of communication between the patient and the family members.
Advance methods and therapies for the treatment
At lotus , we have found that love, support and care is the best method to treat Addiction. After all, addiction is a disease, not a crime; it can be treated without being rude and cruel. Don’t forget to go through reviews before choosing a center .
Recreational activities and engagement
Recreation activities help people recover fast in de-addiction. Engaging activities like music, dance, yoga, and art keep the person away from drugs/alcohol and make them happy.
A good place arranges motivational speeches for the patients to avoid their bad habits. These processes divert the mind, and people start seeking happiness somewhere other than addictions.
