How Do I Choose A Drug Treatment Program In Kelowna?

How Do I Choose A Drug Treatment Program In Kelowna?
 by: Stephen Ambrose

While choosing a drug and alcohol rehab center in Kelowna you have certain misconceptions. If you are addicted to drug and want to leave it completely you can join a drug treatment program and recover from your problem completely quickly. If you enter rehab knowing that you are going to drink or use drugs again, you are watching your money and everyone’s time. If you’re planning to stay in a rehab program to recover completely, here is what you can expect.

Detox:

Some residential rehab programs have their own in-house detoxification programs, but more centers today are requiring clients to complete detox pror to entering their facilities. In other words, you have to clean and sober before you can even enter rehab.

Facilities:

You will find various drug and rehab centers in Kelowna, and each one is different from other. Like most other things in life, you get what you pay for or what you or your insurance can afford. The type of physical facilities the program offers has little to do with how successful their program might be in keeping you sober.

Education:

Education is the core component of all treatment and rehab programs. It may vary from facility to facility, but generally the process is aimed at getting you to look at your addiction honestly and realistically, and change your attitude about your drug and alcohol use. In the early stages of recovery, most alcoholics or addicts may still be holding on to some denial about the seriousness of their problem or may be ambivalent about quitting drugs and alcohol for good.

Counseling and Group therapy:

During your rehab, you will probably receive individual counseling with a trained addictions counselor and you will possibly participate daily in group therapy meetings with others at the facility. These skills are designed in such a way that it will teach you how to lead a life without drugs and alcohol. You will learn how to recognize situations in which you are most likely to drink or use drugs and how to avoid these circumstances if possible. You will learn new coping skills. Group sessions will help you in seeking support from others who are going through the same experiences and challenges that you are.

After care program:

If you notice a typical residential drug and alcohol rehab program lasts for about 20 days, sometimes longer, during which you are in a structured environment where no drugs are alcohol are available. Successful rehab programs have a strong aftercare program plan designed to meet your individual needs. Your aftercare plan may include intensive outpatient treatment, residence at a halfway house, attendance at 12 step meetings and weekly check-ins with your counselor and other suggestions to help you avoid the situations and triggers that might cause you to relapse.
