One of society’s greatest problems, regardless whatever part of world you are in, has got to be drug addiction. Because of the easy access to the different types of drugs as well as controlled medicines, many people have easily fallen prey to its call.
Treating a drug addict can come in two ways – preventing them from falling into a relapse and helping them cope with the effects of withdrawal. Because of the complexity of the procedures involved, drug treatment plans usually take time to accomplish.
Although there are a number of ways by which drug treatment is delivered, they are still guided by a number of common tenets such as:
• Addiction to drugs, complex as it may seem, can be treated.
• There is no single treatment for drug addiction that can be applied to everyone. Individual differences would always play a part in treating a recovering addict.
• Some of the most effective drug treatment programs take into consideration the person’s whole being and does not just work on the abuse.
• Some of the most effective treatment programs involve the use of counseling and therapy, most especially those that deal with behavior modification.
• As paradoxical as it may seem, medications are oftentimes used to suppress the effects of withdrawal.
• The need to stay during the entire period of the treatment program is integral to the recoverin addict’s success.
• Drug detoxification is only a step in all drug treatment programs. It should not be taken as a be-all, end-all approach to treating drug addiction.
• Taking of medications during the duration of the drug treatment programs should be monitored as relapse could occur.
• Although it makes the treatment process run much faster, drug treatment need not be voluntary on the part of the drug addict in order to be effective. After all, most drug addicts would not admit to being a user.
The drug treatment programs Florida centers have may come as holistic, alternative, focused or traditional. In the end, however, it is the adherence to the principles mentioned above that make some centers stand out from among the rest.
