Finding Effective Treatment isn't Easy....Most Programs aren't Effective

Drug addiction treatment can come in many different modalities. Treatment can also varies depending on the needs of the individual who is addicted. As you can see from the name on this site, we specialize in programs that are 90 days or more.

Research and personal experience has shown that the typical 30 residential program is entirely too short and doesn't give the addict time to even detox well before they are told to go back to their high-risk living situation and try to handle all of the temptations of using again.

These programs usually get about a 5% success rate

Persons addicted to drugs have many other problems, outside of their need for drugs, that are associated with their addiction. Many suffer from mental or emotional problems, occupaitonal, health or social problems and other problems that hinder them from having wins in life and supporting their need to escape via alcohol and other drugs. Even if there are few associated problems, the severity of addiction itself ranges widely among people.

The outcome of any alcohol or drug addiction to stop the use of the drugs, and return the person to a productive, functional life with his family, job, and community. Anyone that is starting the process of looking for treatment must be overwhelmed by the sheer number of programs and the many different modalities of care; all of whom are telling you that their treatment is the very best. Obviously, finding a truely effective treatment program is a big and confusing decision.

To measure the successfulness of an alcohol or other drug addiction treatment or rehab program you have to look at the levels of criminal behavior, family functioning, employability, and medical condition after treatment is complete. Successful drug addiction treatment should reduce drug use and significantly decrease criminal activity once the person is completely through the drug treatment program. Drug addiction treatment has also shown that it reduces the risk of disease, and improves the prospects for employment.

Drug Rehab Programs Using 12 Step

First there is the 12 step Recovery Model. These methods are better known as Alcoholics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. 12 Step was developed in 1934 by two Alcoholics who found a way to stay sober with these steps usually 21- 28 days. Some private facilities offer longer term Case. It has been around the longest and there was some moderate success in the beginning. When hard drugs showed up into our culture it was a natural progression to use 12 step methods on these addictions, as there was nothing else available. The method grew across the nation, as there was nothing else that was available to be used. For this simple reason 12 step is available almost anywhere. Today the success rate is approximately 10%-25% depending on the facility you choose. Private Facilities will yield a much higher rate of success.

Drug Rehab Programs using Behavioral Modification.

Second there is the Behavioral Modification Method. Behavioral Modification was developed to work on the A Social Personality, or a person who was self centered. This method relies on boot camp style tactics where the individual is berated by groups of peers and then hopefully rebuilt into a more social person. There has been some use for this method with young teenagers who are on a warpath to destroy society. However the success is only very marginally about 10%, in most cases other methods are recommended. Due to that reason very few drug rehab centers use this method.

Drug Rehab Programs using Long Term Religious method.

Third is the long term religious based model of treatment. In this methodology the individual is required to go away for 1 – 2 years, and work on a farm. Example: Farming. This method is also combined with a heavy religious aspect of prayer, and bible study. The success rate is hard to determine as only about 10% of people will make it to the full completion of this method, however of those completing it will be around 20% who stay clean form hard drugs. Due to the long term it is usually not available to most addicts, and waiting lists are long.

Drug Rehab Programs using Bio- Physical modality.

Fourth is the Biophysical rehabilitation. This method gets toxins out of the body in a purification sauna. What was found through research is that the human body will store a residue called a metabolite in the fat tissue for 5 – 7 years after drug abuse. This Residue causes cravings, anxiety, and depression. Also the drugs like heroin, oxycontin, cocaine, and meth are more powerful than the chemicals the brain produces to be happy. It takes 1 year for this chemical balance to be restored. The Biophysical method uses a purification sauna, and vitamins to release residues stored in fat tissue so that there are no more cravings, anxiety or depression caused by the drug abuse side effects. The chemical balances also will come back much faster with the exercise and vitamins. This enables the person to have a fighting chance. This type of drug rehabilitation center will use social educational classes to restore or build skills to make the individual a drug free and productive member of society. Drug Rehab Programs with this method are having a success rate of over 70%. This is why Bio-Physical drug treatment centers are usually recommended for the drug addiction’s of our society today.
