If you have a drug or alcohol addiction and are ready for professional addiction treatment, you’re probably wondering where to go. While some drug rehab facilities might seem similar, there are a few very important factors you should consider when deciding which facility is best for your needs.
Learn everything you should look for in a Delray Beach, FL, treatment center.
Drug Rehab Programs For All Needs
Each and every person that walks through the doors of a rehab program is an individual with a different addiction history, background, and personality. Not to mention everyone has their own mental health challenges that are unique to them. This means the rehab facility should offer a variety of drug rehab programs that can cater to all types of addiction needs. After all, what works for one person might not work for another.
The following programs should be offered at a Florida addiction treatment center:
Drug and Alcohol Detox
First and foremost, always look to see if the drug and alcohol treatment centers offer a medical detox program. This is how your body will physically withdraw from drugs so that you can begin your therapies and additional addiction treatment with a clear mind (which sets you up for your best chance of success right from the start). The facility should also offer a medication-assisted detox option, which means their licensed medical professionals can provide you with medication to ease your withdrawal symptoms if necessary.
Outpatient Program
An outpatient program is ideal if you need to live at home and attend therapy sessions during the day. This enables you to continue going to work and performing other daily responsibilities. An outpatient treatment program offers you flexibility while still receiving the professional help you need to overcome your drug abuse addiction.
Intensive Outpatient Program
An Intensive Outpatient Program, also known as an IOP, is different from a general outpatient program in several key ways. While you still live at home while participating in treatment, you are required to attend therapies multiple days per week. You may or may not be able to maintain a job while in an IOP program. This program is often ideal for individuals who are new to sobriety but are not necessarily at risk of immediate relapse.
Partial Hospitalization Program
Partial Hospitalizations Programs (PHPs) can be thought of as a middle ground between outpatient treatment and residential treatment. If you are admitted into a PHP program, you are often required to stay overnight for the first 24 hours to monitor your physical and mental state. After this period, you would live at home while attending treatment during the day.
PHPs are ideal if you are significantly struggling with both a drug addiction and a mental health condition/mental health disorders and need therapies that address both throughout the day, most days per week. You can expect to spend anywhere from 20 to 50 hours per week at a rehab facility while participating in PHPs.
Aftercare Program
Aftercare programs are an essential part of addiction treatment, yet are often overlooked by rehab facilities. You should always look to see if this type of program is offered before making a decision on a rehab facility because their sole purpose is to provide you with the support and resources you need after completing treatment. An aftercare program can be a tremendous help while transitioning back to a new normal.
A Variety of Therapies Available
In addition to the type of treatment programs offered, the specific therapies available to you during rehab are equally important.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is led by a guided licensed therapist and is used to address mental health conditions and addiction. Specifically, CBT gives you tools and healthy coping skills to reduce your chance of relapse by helping you to identify negative behaviors.
Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT can teach you how to build healthy coping skills in response to specific situations that may cause you to want to use drugs or alcohol. It can also help you regulate your emotions and handle the daily stressors of life. Similar to CBT, it can be a very effective form of treatment for drug and alcohol addiction.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
When choosing a Delray Beach, FL treatment center, look to see if the facility offers dual diagnosis treatment. Essentially, this type of therapy addresses mental health disorders that tend to occur alongside drug addictions (also known as co-occurring disorders). The type of mental health conditions that can be addressed includes (but are not limited to) anxiety disorders, PTSD, eating disorders, and depression.
Family-Centered Programming
Addiction affects more than just you and your life – it can also damage those who are close to you. By choosing a rehab center with family-centered programming, both you and your family members can receive support for how to move the relationship forward in a healthy way.
Offers Holistic Therapies
In addition to the above-mentioned therapies, holistic therapies can be tremendously helpful when combined with traditional therapies. Look for a rehab facility that provides a combination of the following to provide an added level of support:
- Meditation
- Guidance in exercise and nutrition
- Yoga
- Equine therapy
- Acupuncture
- Massage therapy
- Art therapy
- Adventure therapy
Provides Relapse Prevention
This is another example of a type of therapy that can be incredibly beneficial in helping you reach and maintain long-term sobriety but isn’t always offered at rehab facilities. Relapse prevention therapy is aimed at providing you with specific things you can do to prevent relapse. This can include detailed strategies such as receiving prescribed medication if necessary, going to specific therapies, exercising on a regular basis, and many others. Relapse prevention therapy addresses how you as a whole person can live a healthy life rather than just becoming sober.
Accepts Insurance
Does the rehab facility accept insurance? Out-of-pocket payments can sometimes be costly depending on the type of treatment you need. By choosing a rehab center that accepts insurance, your substance abuse treatment might be fully or partially covered.
