Attempting to recover from addiction on your own can often be difficult and risky—especially if you’ve been struggling with substance abuse for a very long time. Physical illness, mental decline, and drug overdose are some of the many complications that can occur when you try recovering from addiction without professional help. Baystate Recovery Center offers the tools, resources, and treatment you need to experience a safe recovery from drug dependence and a successful, long-term recovery from addiction.
Here’s a closer look at the benefits of receiving addiction treatment at a drug and alcohol rehab facility.
New Daily Structure
Those who suffer from addiction usually have a specific daily routine involving drug and alcohol use, such as having several drinks after coming home from work. Drug rehab helps you establish a new healthy daily structure and routine that replaces your old routine and leaves no time for drug and alcohol use. Initially, your schedule at rehab will likely be filled with individual counseling, group therapy sessions, and a variety of recreational activities. As you make your way through treatment, your daily routine will eventually become a normal part of your new, healthier lifestyle.
A Safe Environment
Many addiction treatment facilities offer residential and inpatient rehab programs that allow you to live at the facility for the duration of treatment. These programs are ideal for patients who come from dangerous living environments that frequently expose them to drugs, alcohol, and violent situations. Many rehab centers are also staffed with knowledgeable and compassionate nurses, therapists, and counselors who offer 24-hour support for those who need it.
Evidence-Based Treatments
Withdrawing from drugs and alcohol comes with a number of health and medical risks—especially for those recovering from a severe or years-long addiction. Many rehab centers proudly offer evidence-based treatments proven safe and effective at treating substance use disorders. Drug detox, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and motivational enhancement therapy are some of many evidence-based treatments available at rehab centers, reports the National Institute on Drug Abuse. When researching nearby rehab facilities, ask about evidence-based treatments that specifically address your type of substance use disorder.
Emphasis on Overall Health
Addiction can cause a wide range of physical and mental health problems including decreased immunity, fatigue, and mental illness. Many rehab centers offer a holistic “whole-health” approach to treatment that focuses on every aspect of your health and well-being. This may include nutrition counseling, exercise, mindfulness meditation, and relapse prevention training—all of which are aimed at helping you adopt a healthier lifestyle after your treatment program has ended. Look for rehab facilities that offer an array of therapeutic services and amenities that can improve your overall health and well-being.
