Types of Rehabilitation in Washington

Drug rehabilitation success

When searching for the right treatment center for someone from Washington, it's important to know what types of rehabilitation it might be a good idea to stay away from and which ones are more successful.

Programs to be cautious of would be ones that use drug replacement therapy and/or aversion therapy. The former is where the addict is placed on one or more prescription drugs to treat the symptoms of addiction, yet most of these drugs have very heavy side effects and possibly a high potential for abuse. We have found that this type of treatment can actually cause relapse because the individual is still mentally and physically dependent on chemicals to get through the day. The latter (aversion therapy) is more like a form of mild shock treatment, where people are given electrical stimulus to make them stay away from drugs or are given poisons to make them very sick when using drugs. Either way this is would be considered cruelty if done to animals, let alone human beings who are trying to become more able and aware and not prodded into submission.

Rehabilitation programs that are more successful are typically longer-term and do not use replacement drugs. They provide a structured environment with one on one counseling, educational courses and work to empower addicts rather than making them powerless to some disease or mental disorder that labels them for life. Relapse does not have to be part of the recovery process and an effectiver rehabilitation program will work to help the individual regain control over his or her life, not give up control.
