How a drug rehab centre works

How a Drug Rehab Centre Works One of the biggest problems that the human community is facing in this present era has been the problem of drug abuse. If we talk about our country India, drug abuse has been one of the most deadly diseases and has been a cause of death of millions of individuals. The cases of drug abuse are alarmingly high in youths and children, making the situation more alarming.

According to the statistics, nearly 75% of Indian houses at least have a person, who is a victim of drug abuse. Such has been the influence of these lethal drugs.

The biggest question that arises here is “How can we bring back the drug abused person in normal life once again”??? Family and friends support are always essential but the truth is that these support system alone can’t help a person to come out from the over usage of drugs.

Along with the emotional and physical support of family and friends, a person needs to go through a proper rehab process, which can only be possible if he/she stays a good amount of time in a drug rehab centre, until full recovery.

Generally people who are addicted to drugs, need proper care and assistance during the drug rehab process. The drug rehab centres are usually the best channel, passing through which an individual will again able to lead a normal and a healthy life. Drug addiction is very painful, as a person by himself/herself cannot come out of the addiction, even if he/she tries the very best and this addiction leads to subsequent change in person’s behaviour which has an

immense negative impact on the personal as well as professional relationship of that individual.

Therefore, drug rehab centres are the best guides for a person to come out from drug addiction, as they help a drug victim to re enter the society and lead a normal life. Let us look how a drug rehab centre worksDetox- This is the first and the most important process which the drug addicted victim passes in a drug rehab centre. In this process, the body of an affected individual gets rid of all the toxic influences of drugs. This Detox process is very painful, as these are the initial stages of treatment and the person literally carves for the drugs with which he/she has been affected.

The symptoms of the withdrawal syndrome can range from unpleasant and unusual behaviours like and aggression, regression to even suicidal tendency. Proper treatment in a medically setup Detox program is essential to reduce the risk associated with this Detox process.

Substance Abuse Therapy- This is the second phase which a victim passes in a rehab centre, after passing through the initial and the most difficult phase of Detox. In this phase, individuals in rehab centres go through the therapeutic process to understand the main cause of their addiction. The therapies are either given individually or in groups. This process also includes the treatment program which aims a t educating the victims about the dangers of the drug abuse, and how they can help themselves to come out from that situation.

After Care Plan- After the individual has completely recovered from the usage of drug abuse, he/she is still kept for some days in the rehab centre. This is because the staff members sits with the individual in order to chalk out effective plans of how to lead normal life after getting out of the rehab centre and how to completely avoid any circumstances which may lead to any contact with the harmful drugs again.

Life after getting out from the rehab centres may be difficult for an individual, especially during the initial stages, as he/she may face the uncomfortable questions from the society and also they are now not in a controlled environment where there is non availability of drugs.

Thus, after come coming out the person is still in a critical situation and can easily become the victim of drug usage again. Here comes the role and support of best friends and family members. They have to always be by the side of the individual and make them understand that they are now a normal individual who can effectively lead a normal life. Thus recovery of drug substance is a lifelong process, majority is done at the rehab centre within a short span of time and the rest should be done but the near ands the dear ones throughout the life.
