Drug Use and Abuse Treatment Types

Drug Use and Abuse Treatment Types
We Can HELP You
1-877-345-8494

There are a number of different types of treatment to choose from if you or your loved one are struggling with drug abuse: dual diagnosis or single diagnosis drug rehab, onsite or offsite aftercare treatment services, holistic therapies or traditional therapies. To help you determine which type of drug abuse treatment is right for you or your loved one, you need only take a moment to look at your options and decide which one best applies to your personal situation. Drug abuse treatment is most effective when it is designed to treat the individual rather than the disease.

At Michael’s House, we offer inpatient holistic drug abuse treatment as well as a residential sober living home for men recovering from drug abuse and addiction. If you would like to learn more about the opportunities available to you here, contact us at Michael’s House today.

Drug Abuse Treatment: Dual Diagnosis Versus Drug Treatment Only

Dual diagnosis treatment focuses on the treatment of drug addiction simultaneous to the treatment of any co-existing psychological or mental disorders, like bipolar disorder, depression or anxiety. Drug abuse treatment centers all start with a drug detox if you are physically addicted to drugs and alcohol. Those that are focused only on drug treatment focus only on your drug abuse and addiction during the treatment that follows. Dual diagnosis drug treatment centers have a treatment program that addresses your drug addiction as well as any co-occurring psychological disorders to make sure that progress is made on both fronts.

At Michael’s House, we believe that because it’s impossible to tell in many cases which is the primary disorder, it is important that both issues be treated at the same time. After drug detox, we build a personalized treatment program for your needs that includes holistic and dialectic therapies that speak to both your issues with drug addiction and any psychological disorders.

Drug Abuse Treatment: Holistic Therapies Versus Traditional Drug Treatment

Traditional drug abuse treatment centers are usually based on the tenets of a religious group that owns the facility. They may or may not offer personal therapy but often use the 12-step program as the basis for their program. Usually a one-size-fits-all-addictions style treatment, the program is rarely altered to accommodated individual needs or experiences.

Holistic drug rehabs offer multi-faceted therapeutic options. For example, Michael’s House offers 12-step groups, but also offers alternative treatments like yoga and meditation as well as dialectical and behavioral therapies. Our goal is to treat the whole person, and to do this, it is important that the unique aspects of your experience are taken into consideration when developing your personal treatment program.

Drug Abuse Treatment: Onsite or Offsite Aftercare Services

When you have successfully completed drug detox and drug abuse treatment, you have the option of continuing on at the facility for further assistance in a less-structured aftercare program like sober living or return home and maintain contact and support remotely. Depending upon how confident you feel in your recovery, both options can be beneficial. The goal, of course, is to help you transition back into your own home at a pace that suits you and will be most conducive to helping you maintain sobriety without relapse.
