Drug rehabilitation is an umbrella term for a variety of processes by which a person addicted to a drug stops using that drug. These processes can vary from cold turkey to the use of substitute drugs which do not have the same action upon the state of consciousness as the original drug to which the person was addicted.
Many drug rehabilitation programs include attempts to change the patient's behavior. In particular, patients are generally encouraged or required not to associate with friends who still use the addictive substance. Twelve-step programs encourage addicts not only to stop using alcohol or other drugs, but to examine and change habits related to their addictions.
Drug rehabilitation is sometimes part of the criminal justice system. People convicted of minor drug offenses may be sentenced to rehabilitation instead of prison, and those convicted of driving while intoxicated are sometimes required to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
This type of drug rehab center usually considers the members of the drug rehab program to be students rather than patients, who are learning the necessary tools to put their lives back together and reenter society as contributing, law abiding citizens.
Continued care after any drug and alcohol rehab is an important part of this type of drug rehab program, as the students at the drug rehab center are aware that they will always have somewhere to turn, and are never completely alone in their struggle with addiction and drug abuse.
The final outcome from drug and alcohol rehab is that the student, who is now recovered, is able to achieve his or her goals of starting a new, drug-free life, using the tools learned while in the drug rehab program.
The Biophysical drug rehab method uses a purification sauna, and vitamins to release residues stored in fat tissue so that there are no more cravings, anxiety or depression caused by the drug abuse.
Another drug rehab method is one using the Behavioral Modification.
In this type of drug rehab the individual is required to go away for 1 2 years, and work on a farm.
