SAN DIEGO, May 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research done on drug and alcohol rehab centers that use the relapse prevention therapy have indicated that the individuals who learn and these coping skills while in this type of drug rehab center will tend to have a higher success rate of maintaining abstinence once they have left the drug rehab center. The skills these individuals have acquired throughout the drug and alcohol rehab therapy tend to be retained even after the completion of the drug rehabilitation programs, and they return to life in the normal world.
Relapse prevention therapy is only one of many strategies used among drug rehab programs to enable patients learn during drug rehab to reenter society with the tools they need to cope with the triggers they are faced with on a day to day basis, but it seems to be a highly effective method. Studies done of drug addicts who have completed this type of drug rehab program in a drug rehab center concluded that a majority of patients upon leaving the drug rehab center have maintained this relapse prevention strategy for at least a year after their graduation and release from the drug rehab center. Those are much better odds than the 5% of AA members who actually succeed after that type of drug and alcohol treatment in the 12 step program.
Are Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs Successful?
The success of any drug treatment program is dependant upon several different factors. The most important one is the willingness of the drug abuser to accept their addiction, and want to make changes in their lifestyle by accepting the support and help not only from the drug treatment center, but from their friends and families as well. The successful completion of the drug rehab program offered by the chosen drug treatment center is another important factor, as well as the type of extended care program available from the drug rehabilitation center.
