substance abuse treatment?

Treatment for substance use disorders is offered by various types of professionals. At MyRehab, the primary care providers are a team of specially trained individuals. The MyRehab treatment team comprises Social Workers, Registered Counselors, Case Managers, Nurses, Consulting Physicians, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, and other relevant professionals.

At MyRehab, we incorporate advanced technology into our protocols to ensure comprehensive monitoring and support for our clients. As part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and accountable environment, we utilize a breathalyzer system to assess alcohol use. Additionally, our dedicated team conducts regular and random urine sample drug testing for individuals enrolled in our programs. These measures allow us to provide effective and personalized care, ensuring the well-being and progress of our clients throughout their recovery journey.

Relapse prevention training teaches people how to identify their relapse triggers, how to cope with cravings, how to develop plans for handling stressful situations, and what to do if they relapse. A trigger is anything that makes a person crave a drug. Triggers often are connected to the person’s past use, such as a particular situation or emotion.

This education can help you understand the disease and its causes, effects, and treatment. The MyRehab Family Education Group provides this education in the following ways: lectures, discussions, and group meetings. The MyRehab Treatment Programme also provides counselling for families or couples on request. Family members are requested to participate as much as possible in the family counselling the programme offers.

Even when a person has successfully completed a treatment programme, the danger of returning to alcohol or drug use (called a “slip” or relapse) remains. The longer a person stays in treatment, including follow up, the more likely he or she is to stay in recovery. Once a person has completed basic treatment, a programme will offer a follow up care programme at the treatment facility.

Statistics have shown that the longer one spends engaged in the treatment process, the better the chances are that the treatment will be successful. One study done by Hazelden in the U.S.A showed that the chances of successful treatment outcomes doubled with every 28 days spent in primary care. This is why we specifically run our programme on a 12 week cycle. It is important to strongly consider our 12 week in-patient programme should finances and/or employment restraints allow.

We also understand that a client may have financial or work restraints, which is why it is important that, should a client only be admitted only for the 4 week programme, that they strongly consider attending our 12 week aftercare programme along with our halfway house programme. This programme is designed to supplement the work done during the primary care phase and the results yielded by those who have attended aftercare far surpass the success of those that have only completed the in-patient programme.

Clients attending will be asked to ensure prompt timekeeping, to complete “Homework Assignments”, and will be randomly and regularly tested for alcohol and other substances. Follow-up care is very important to successful treatment. Once a person is back in his or her community, back in school, or back at work, he or she will experience many temptations and cravings for alcohol or drugs. In follow-up care, your family member will meet periodically with a counselor or a group to determine how he or she is coping and to help him or her deal with the challenges of recovery.
