  1. 5 STEP PROCESS USED BY DRUG REHAB CLINICS It is a sign of modern times that almost 21 million US residents were recorded to have a substance abuse problem in 2015. 1 in 3 of these had an issue with drugs; hence the existence of so many drugs rehabs clinics in the US. Getting into a drug rehab clinic is actually quite straight forward, especially if you are going to a private clinic. Just check in and your drug rehab treatment can start. It can be slightly more complex if you need to be referred by a doctor and have your rehab paid for by the state or your insurance company. Before you enter drug rehab it is useful to understand what is likely to happen while you are there: Intake The first step involves visiting a drug rehab clinic to find out if it is the right one for your needs. You must feel comfortable with the staff at the facility and the procedures it uses. It is essential to understand that addiction affects your brain as well as your behavior and the earlier you treat it the more likely it is to be successful. But, for it to be effective you must want to enter drug rehab and for it to succeed. Detox Once you have been admitted you will go through the detox phase. This is administered within the clinic and involves complete withdrawal from the addictive drug. Many facilities will provide you with an alternative to help reduce the pain and side effects associated with withdrawal. During this stage you are likely to experience fatigue, depression, sweating, diarrhea and headaches. The staff will be on hand to help you through each part of the process.

  2. Individual Therapy Once you are ‘clean’ and do not have any of the drug in your system you will start individual therapy sessions. This is an opportunity for the counselor to find out what has led you down the path to drug addiction and how you can avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future. Your individual therapy sessions will centre on you and how you can use your time. The busier you are the less time you will have to think about drugs. Group Therapy Group therapy is usually completed alongside the individual therapy. This is the time when you can hear about other people’s experience. The idea is to make sure that you know you are not alone. These people can beat their addiction and with their support you can too! Aftercare Perhaps the most important stage of the treatment is actually the aftercare. This is the time when you return to your old life and all the temptations will resurface. During this stage you will need the support of your family and the staff at your drug rehab clinic. At first you are likely to feel temptation regularly and you will need to contact your aftercare staff or family members to help keep you on the right track. This will get easier with time. Determination and perseverance will ensure that your drug rehab is successful. Articles Source: http://www.journeyfitnesscompany.com/5-step-process-used-by-drug-rehab- clinics/
