Drug Rehab in Granbury, TX

Drug addiction rehab centers are specially designed for the specific requirements of the drug rehab process. Not every drug rehab is designed to the same standards of medical effectiveness, however. Before you enter a drug rehab, it's important that you understand as much about the drug and alcohol rehab process as possible, and apply knowledge gained to judging the centers that you want to consider, for quality treatment. What follows is a short guide on the different kinds of questions to ask as you go about trying to understand how good a rehab is. If you have questions, you should feel free to call us at our drug rehab in Granbury.

Addiction science has greatly evolved over the years. The very view that addiction is a treatable disease and not the result of irresponsible behavior by the addict, only appeared in the 40s. The view that addiction was a mental disorder only came into currency in the 50s. The American Medical Association only recognized addiction as a disease in the 60s, and dual diagnosis science only appeared in the 90s.

It is important to understand that these advances, even once they appear, do not quickly begin to influence the situation on the ground. Each development can take decades to become mainstream. It is up to the individual addict and their family to research the options available among different rehabs, and determine their level of adherence to modern evidence-based science.

It is critically important to ask for an appointment ahead of signing up for treatment, simply to ask questions. What are the research sources that they go by? How do they measure their success? How do they treat mental disorders? Do they have accreditation by an industry body such as the JCAHO, the CARF or the NAATP?

At our licensed and certified drug rehab in Granbury, we have always welcomed questions, and have always helped patients find answers.

Long-Term Inpatient Rehab Treatment

Addictions appear with different levels of depth and complication in different patients. A person who has been addicted for five years has needs very different from one who has spent one year under addiction.

Long-standing addictions, addictions to multiple drugs or ones that go along with mental disorders and poor physical health, all require different, involved approaches.

Usually, they require extended treatment at residential facilities that offer close treatment by experts with specific experience in the complications involved. It's important to ask a rehab that you go to, if they offer comprehensive solutions in each one of these cases.

Quitting drugs involves two steps -- first there is medical detox in Granbury, the process that involves getting past the withdrawal symptoms, and then aftercare, the set of processes required to establish and maintain sobriety. Both processes are vital to long-term freedom from drugs.

Unlike our treatment programs in Granbury, some will shortchange clients on the second step, simply because it takes a greater level of expertise, and can be harder to charge patients for.

An in-depth aftercare program involves a complete range of therapeutic interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, contingency management, motivational enhancement, twelve-step programs, and family behavioral therapy, among other approaches.

It provides comprehensive sober living arrangements to help patients transition back into real life, as well. It's important to look for such comprehensive facilities.

Not All Rehabs Offer Dual Diagnosis Care

Mental disorders often cause addiction, or aggravate them. Nearly 3 out of 4 of those who suffer from addictions experience these complications. It's important for rehab centers to be equipped to treat mental disorders. The expertise for such care is rare in the rehab world, and it's important to look for it.

At our drug rehab in Granbury, our approach is to organize our system of care with as much precision as possible. Not only do we find a way to keep detailed records to ensure that there are never any mistakes made, we schedule care so that patients are always cared for by the same by addiction specialists, psychiatrists and therapists that they are used to. A well-organized system is less prone to mistakes. It can make sense to look for such a system.

Finally, it makes sense to ask about specific expertise that drug rehabs may have with the addiction and/or mental disorder that you may have. While many addictive conditions manifest with similar symptoms and complications, many have specific requirements.

It can help improve the quality of treatment that you receive, to be treated by a rehab that possesses specific experience. Call us now for more information (877) 804-1531.
