SAN DIEGO, May 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The intensity of drug addiction rehabilitation required by different addicts will vary according to the severity of their addictions. When addicts admit themselves, or are forcibly admitted, to drug addiction rehabilitation facilities, their physical conditions are evaluated so that appropriate treatment can be determined. There are different drug addiction rehabilitation programs designed to treat the different levels of addiction among couples.
Couples Inpatient Treatment
The most comprehensive couples drug addiction rehab programs is the couples inpatient rehab. Couples inpatient drug addiction treatment requires the addicted couple to take up residence in the recovery center where they receive their treatment, and the amount of time they stay will depend on how hard they work on confronting their addictions and learning healthier patterns of behavior.
Couples inpatient rehab will first include detoxification, with or without the use of sedatives and pain medications; their inclusion will depend both on whether the addict’s system can handle any more chemicals, and whether those running the program believe going ‘cold turkey’ when withdrawing is the best deterrent to future substance abuse.
The addicted couple will spend their days learning to take responsibility by having jobs assigned to them once the detoxification is over; going to individual and group counseling sessions, and getting at the emotional causes underlying their dependencies. The whole process can last for a month or for a year, depending on the severity of the addiction. Couples inpatient drug addiction rehabilitation is the last resort.
Therapeutic techniques in couples inpatient treatment facilities may include journaling so that the addicted couple can learn both self-observation skills and how to recognize the situations in which their cravings for drugs are triggered.
Choosing the appropriate couples inpatient rehab is a matter of balancing the severity of the addiction with the addict’s desire for recovery.
