SAN DIEGO, May 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Patients with drug dependency who enroll in drug rehabilitation programs are required to complete a full medical physical, followed by an MD’s written consent to participate in the drug rehabilitation program, as well as intermittent medical follow-ups as needed by each patient. 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. These students enroll in this type of drug rehabilitation not to recover or be “cured” of an illness, but rather to learn strategies and methods of coping that they either didn’t already know, or had forgotten due to a life of addiction and drug abuse. These learned skills during drug and alcohol rehab will aid each individual to gain the ability to cope with everyday stressors, and teach them how to handle and avoid triggers they have identified through their drug rehab program that would usually lead them to use drugs.
This form of drug rehab aims to prepare their students for the re-entry into life as drug-free and equipped with the tools to maintain lifelong abstinence. When the students graduate from the drug rehab center, they know that they do have the option to re-enter the drug rehabilitation program if they feel that they are struggling with their new life and fear relapsing. 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. However, the drug rehabilitation program is intended to allow students to graduate their drug rehab program and successfully enter into their new lives standing on their own two feet, respecting the morals and ethics that they have identified to be their own through their time at rehab, and successfully be proud of the person they have become with the help of the drug treatment center. When a student graduates from this type of drug rehab, they are no longer considered to be recovering addicts, and do not attend weekly meetings, as do those who participate in a 12 step program such as AA.
The goal for a student, who has graduated from this type of drug rehab, is that they are recovered from their addition. 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. This goal is applied to all whom complete this type of drug rehabilitation, whether they attend the drug rehab program in a drug rehab center, while in prison, or just after work or school.
