Many drug rehabs claim to be the best in the nation, the country, the world but they have no actual facts to back up those statements. The sign of a really good drug rehab is one that is effective, that is, one that allows individuals to heal and helps them deal with the real world I such a way, that there is less chance of them ending up back in rehab.
An effective rehab is one that not only admits you and gets you to talk about your addiction, but one that can diagnose the underlying causes of your addiction too. For all you know, you may have a dual disorder, or may have certain behaviours that are triggering your addiction. Since you cannot be objective about what is happening in your own body, it helps to have a psychotherapist who can look at you objectively and give you real help.
An effective drug rehab has a few features in common. For instance, one of the most common features is both group and individual therapy. Both are important for different reasons. Individual therapy for example allows for the assessment of you, a chance to take a long, hard look at your life and decide what you want to change. Group therapy allows you to learn from others, to empathize and most importantly to understand that you are not the only person dealing with addiction.
An effective rehab will also have a doctor and a team of nurses available who can help you medically at any time. Sometimes, the symptoms of withdrawal from drugs or alcohol can change your body chemistry and it helps to have someone around who can reduce the effects of that on your body. A trained therapist must also make up part of an effective rehab, since you will need someone to treat your mind and not just your body.
Remember that everyone’s experiences in rehab are different and what may work for one person may not work for you, so don’t be too hard on yourself if you feel that the rehab facility you are at is not working for you.
