Mom with Son recovering from Drug Treatment

The First Step

For the person addicted to drugs, drug treatment takes place in several stages. The first and probably most important of these is admitting there is a problem.

The person who struggles with drug addiction must come to a place where he or she realizes the need to reach out and ask for help. Family members, friends and colleagues all want what is best for a loved one addicted to drugs.

I made the decision to go to the outpatient program and work on my sobriety even more. Without a doubt, this place has helped me.

Medically Supervised Detoxification

Medically supervised detox is the first part of most drug treatment programs. When drugs are withdrawn or withheld from a person who is addicted, there can be uncomfortable and dangerous side effects. Through medically supervised detox, the person recovering from drug addiction can get through withdrawal symptoms in a safe manner.

With the help of doctors and others trained to recognize and treat these symptoms, the withdrawal process allows the body to rid itself of the drug toxins. This process usually takes three to five days depending on the individual and the type of drug used.

Five Phases of Drug Rehabilitation Treatment

The Delray Recovery Center Logo
Detoxification
Detox is the first step of a client’s recovery process. This phase involves the client ridding themselves of all of the harmful substances in their body. Detoxification takes place under intensive medical care on an inpatient basis.
Partial hospitalization
Partial Hospitalization follows, which allows clients to receive intensive care during the day and return home at night. This lowers costs while still giving clients the treatment they need.
Inpatient Treatment
Inpatient Treatment is the phase most commonly associated with conventional rehab. Clients stay at The Delray Recovery Center for at least 90 days, during which time they are thoroughly examined and treated. Clients can take advantage of many different types of therapy, including art, exercise, religion and conventional psychotherapy.
Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient Treatment follows after the 90 days are complete, which eases clients back into society. Therapy sessions and activities are conducted during the day, after which the client can leave the facility. Clients usually spend about 30 days in outpatient treatment.
Sober Living
Sober Living is the final phase of treatment at The Delray Recovery Center, during which clients can return for counseling as long as they like. This phase gives clients the support they need as they fully re-enter society.
