Regular detox is a method by which a person will stop using their particular drug of choice. In most cases, the person receives a daily interview to see how they are doing. The personnel will often encourage them as they go through their detox. In many centers, the person may get certain medications to assist in their withdrawal symptoms. This type of detox will normally take between 3 to 10 days. More on this treatment here.
When referring to short-term rehab, it refers to a short stay within the facility of 21 to 28 days. These programs deal with addiction in various ways, including 12-step programs, nutritional programs, counselling, and more. Generally speaking, a person receives a medical exam and an addiction assessment before entering the program.
These treatment programs are not residential. While living at home, the person attends meetings and substance abuse counselling sessions on a five or seven-period schedule. The person takes part in this either in the daytime or evenings. It works well for those who cannot stop working or work the night shift. Depending on the service, delivery will vary, and it is important you assess what you want to achieve in your recovery. You can get more information on the day and night program, here.
The goal of the cognitive method is to overcome addiction by changing the person’s habits and viewpoints. Through various exercises and educational means, the addicted person changes their way of thinking. These methods aim to change the person’s behaviour toward drugs and alcohol. Outpatient and residential programs use this type of approach. Find out more about cognitive-behavioural therapy.
