Who Can Benefit from Inpatient Drug Rehab Help?

Addictive drugs, such as heroin, cocaine and prescription opiates easily integrate within the brain and body’s systems, which can cause adverse effects over time, according to the Canadian Medical Association Journal. With long-term drug abuse, these effects take on a life of their own, causing any number of physical and psychological problems to develop along the way.

If you’ve been battling an addiction problem for a long time and have made little to no progress with standard drug treatment programs, it may be time to consider inpatient drug rehab.

If standard treatment hasn’t worked for you, it may be time to enter inpatient rehab.

Comprehensive Evaluation & Personalized Treatment Planning

The inpatient treatment approach is specifically designed to treat the most severe forms of addiction. As a general rule, the more severe the addiction problem the greater the need for an intensive treatment approach.

Inpatient drug rehab programs perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine your specific treatment needs. Information gathered during the evaluation is then used to create your treatment plan.

Treating Chronic Medical & Psychological Problems

Chronic or long-term drug abuse weakens the brain and body to the point where other chronic medical and/or psychological conditions can take develop, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Conditions commonly associated with heavy drug use include:

  • Heart disease
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Depression
  • Anxiety disorders

Unlike standard 30-day treatment programs, inpatient programs treat the addiction as well as any and all conditions caused by the addiction.

Treating the Addiction

Treating the addiction entails helping you work through the underlying emotional issues that drive drug using behaviors while equipping you with the coping skills needed to live a drug-free lifestyle.

Inpatient drug rehab programs use the following types of interventions to treat the addiction problem:

  • Group therapy
  • Relapse prevention training
