Non 12 Step Rehabs

Important Drug And Alcohol Detox Information

There are varying protocols for medical detoxification and degrees of detox that may be necessary for someone as an initial part of their treatment. In all cases, the procedure is used as a part of rehab to get someone through the effects of coming off drugs or alcohol safely and with as little discomfort as possible. This can be accomplished in several ways and may depend on the type of addiction, how long and how much drugs or alcohol are being used and the person's physical condition, age and general health.

In some cases of medical detox there are short-term substitute drugs given to ease the severity of withdrawal symptoms and to help prevent serious potential problems such as seizures. This type of detox is monitored by a doctor and is used for extreme amounts of alcohol, opiates and / or long term use of other medications such as anti-anxiety drugs, antidepressants, sleeping pills, etc.

Better rehab centers are trained in asking the right questions to help determine what degree of detox (if any) is needed for a particular patient to ensure a safe and easy transition off drugs or alcohol and then into the remainder of the rehab treatment.

Biophysical Drug Rehab Detoxification

Many non 12 step drug rehab centers in the country have included biophysical rehab protocols into their treatment plans. Unlike typical medical detox which usually only lasts 3-5 days, these holistic forms of detox include longer term cleansing of drug and alcohol toxins from tissue and organs in the body. Some of these could include natural cleansing methods with nutritionists; others include daily programs that involve specialized supplements, light exercise and medical sauna sessions. Combined, these biophysical drug rehab programs release drug metabolites that cause cravings and urges to use drugs and alcohol. Once a person is through this process, they feel like they did prior to having an addiction. With the underlying physical issues resolved, the rest of the non 12 step rehab therapy can be applied to address the underlying emotional issues of the addiction.

Whenever possible, it is recommended to seek out a rehab procedure that uses both non 12 step rehab therapy along with biophysical drug rehab treatment as part of the entire program.
