It is common for a person to feel isolated and neglected when she or he takes to drug addiction. The society shuns him and the family after some attempts, give upon him.  The feeling of being shunned can push the person to take more drugs. Before things become worse, it is better that you admit the person to a good private treatment center , where his health can be restored to the optimum. There are easy finance options now available, so one should dispel thoughts about these luxurious facilities being out of the reach of the humble salaried individual.

Today, drug rehab programs do not limit themselves to the treatment of a drug of just one kind. Now there are a variety of treatment options for cocaine addiction, marijuana addiction, Crystal Meth addiction, heroin addiction, prescription addiction, nicotine addiction etc.   There are fundamentally two types of facilities: outpatient as well as residential. The basic programs may be similar but for a complete and comprehensive recovery, the residential program is chosen.  The outpatient programs are less expensive and they can also go back to their work or school after taking the treatment which is usually during the day.

The residential facility which is more in line with the nature of an effective private drug rehab program takes place in an ambience that is far out and removed from the distractions and tensions of everyday life. There is customized, round the clock monitoring of the condition. There is emphasis on treatment of the individual as well as the overall personality development of the individual so that he or she stays motivated and is not swayed by temptation to take drugs in the future.

There are basically three sections to the drug rehab treatment. Let us understand each of them in brief:

  • Detox: Detox or more specifically, drug detox is the first and the most important step in treatment where the poisonous toxins that have manifested in the body due to drugs are removed from the body.  Synthetic opiates in the form of methadone may be used to reduce dependence on the said drug. Methadone is known to duplicate the effects of the drug, especially heroin but since there are medical professionals to monitor the condition, there is no fear or risk of an overdose. Never self-medicate this detox product, because it can be life-threatening.
  • Counseling:  Counseling is the heart of a good private drug treatment center. There are two types of counseling: individual as well as group, both determined to find out and treat the root cause of the drug addiction in a non-invasive manner. The counselors have a heart to heart conversation with the person and find out what were the factors that induced him or her into taking drugs. They also advise them on how they can maintain a steely resolve against taking drugs in the future.
  • After-care program: Aftercare programs are the ones that have known to distinguish a good drug rehab from the best private drug rehab . These are the follow-up program that aim to make sure that when the person  ‘graduates' from the rehabilitation, he or she sticks to what has been taught and does not deviate into addictive behavior ever. These can also include the 12-step programs that prepare the individual to face the daily challenges of life in the sober but inspiring manner.
