Drug rehab is any addiction treatment program that utilizes addiction therapy and other practices to help individuals overcome their addictions to drugs. Drug rehab programs are usually specialized. This means that each individual drug rehab program provides addiction therapy and treatment practices that will help individuals overcome their addictions to certain specific drugs. For example, there are specific drug rehab programs to help treat people who just suffer from alcohol addiction.

Examples of other substances that there are often specialized drug rehab programs for include cocaine, heroin, and opioids. Specialized drug rehab programs help drug rehab patients learn coping mechanisms that they can use in their everyday lives to help them maintain their sobriety when they’re faced with people, places, or things that trigger their addictions.

Harmony Ridge provides numerous specialized drug rehab programs in WV. Some of the specialized drug rehab programs that Harmony Ridge offers include:

Alcohol Addiction Rehab

Alcohol is one of the most abused drugs in the world. This is partly due to the fact that alcohol is legal to consume after a certain age and is thus, easily accessible. Unfortunately, anyone who chronically abuses alcohol is susceptible to alcohol addiction.

To overcome alcohol addiction, it’s imperative that individuals attend alcohol detox and rehab. Many people who attend detox for alcoholism will also need to receive medication-assisted treatment to help them manage their withdrawal symptoms. Harmony Ridge provides alcohol drug rehab in WV for those that need it.

Heroin Addiction Rehab

Heroin is a highly addictive opiate drug. Individuals usually snort, smoke, or inject heroin into their bodies.

Because of how addictive heroin is, people who suffer from heroin addiction should attend detox prior to attending heroin rehab. Attending heroin detox helps those suffering from heroin addiction rid their bodies of the substance completely.

Heroin rehab helps heroin addicts get to the root of their addictions and treat it. That way those in heroin rehab can sustain their sobriety long-term. During heroin drug rehab, addiction treatment specialists will even teach recovering heroin addicts about coping mechanisms that will help them manage their real-world triggers while in recovery.

Cocaine Addiction Rehab

Cocaine is a white powder stimulant drug that interacts with the body’s central nervous system. By interacting with the body’s central nervous system, cocaine induces feelings of energy and euphoria in its consumers.

People can consume cocaine in numerous different ways. For example, people often smoke, snort, or inject cocaine. How an individual consumes cocaine affects its potency level. For example, if a person snorts cocaine, its effects are strong, but it lasts for only 15 to 30 minutes.

If a person is smoking or injecting cocaine, it usually means that the potency of the cocaine is higher but lasts for a shorter amount of time, about five to 10 minutes.

Because the effects of cocaine usually don’t last a long time, many people will consume numerous doses of the drug to feel its effects longer. This chronic use of cocaine leads to addiction. Continued misuse of cocaine can also cause serious health problems such as heart strain, stroke, or cardiac arrest.

To treat cocaine abuse and addiction, individuals should attend drug detox, followed by cocaine rehab. Harmony Ridge offers specialized cocaine drug rehab in WV along with rehab programs for addiction to stimulants in general. That way, cocaine addicts don’t have to let their cocaine abuse ruin their health and lives.

Fentanyl Addiction Rehab

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that doctors sometimes use to treat extreme levels of pain after surgery. Like with all opioids, fentanyl binds to the opioid receptors in the brain and increases its dopamine levels.

Dopamine is one of the chemicals in the brain and body that causes someone to feel pleasure. Before one knows it, people that chronically consume fentanyl will start to need the substance to feel any pleasure at all.

To treat fentanyl abuse and addiction, it’s important for a person to attend fentanyl rehab. Luckily, fentanyl is one of the substances that Harmony Ridge provides specialized addiction treatment for.

Marijuana Addiction Rehab

Although many people don’t believe so, it’s very possible to develop a marijuana addiction. This is especially true since marijuana is so easily accessible.

Like with any other substance, people who develop marijuana addictions are dependent on it to the point at which minimizing or discontinuing their use of it leads to withdrawal symptoms. People who suffer from marijuana addiction also experience alterations made to their brains’ chemistry. Those suffering from marijuana addiction can attend specialized marijuana drug rehab in WV at Harmony Ridge Recovery Center.

There are several different forms of drug rehab programs that addiction recovery centers such as Harmony Ridge offers. These drug rehab programs range from standard inpatient treatment to standard outpatient treatment and everything in-between. The type of drug rehab program that a person enters depends on the severity of his or her addiction.

Standard Inpatient Drug Rehab

Standard inpatient drug rehab programs are highly structured and intense. This is due to the fact that inpatient drug rehab patients must receive 24/7 supervision and care. Inpatient drug rehab patients also must live in the rehab facilities that they’re receiving treatment at while receiving care.

Inpatient rehab lasts for around 30 or more days. During this time, patients cannot work their normal day jobs or take care of their normal day-to-day responsibilities. Instead, they must dedicate all of their time to overcoming their addictions in rehab.

Residential Drug Rehab

Residential drug rehab is another form of inpatient rehab. Thus, like standard inpatient rehab, residential treatment requires its patients to live in the rehab facilities at which they’re receiving treatment.

Residential rehab facilities also require patients to receive 24/7 supervision and care. Residential treatment generally lasts for the same amount of time as standard inpatient treatment does, approximately 30 or more days.

Although residential treatment has all these things in common with standard inpatient treatment, one thing that makes it different is the fact that residential treatment is much more casual. This is because those who attend residential treatment have slightly less severe addictions than those in standard inpatient treatment. This means that residential treatment patients get more free time in-between treatments to do fun things like participating in holistic treatments or outdoor activities.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) Drug Rehab

Partial hospitalization program rehab is addiction treatment that lasts all day but then allows patients to go home once treatment is over. The reason why patients of PHPs can go home after treatment is over is because PHP is technically an outpatient treatment program. In fact, PHP is the most severe outpatient treatment program.

Partial hospitalization programs last for around five to eight hours a day, five to seven days a week. Therefore, PHP treatment literally lasts all day long. Because PHP treatment lasts all day long almost every day of the week, another term for it is day treatment.

Due to the long hours that PHP treatment requires, its patients will not have time to attend work at their normal day jobs. PHP treatment patients will also not have time to maintain their normal day-to-day responsibilities during rehab. Partial hospitalization program treatment is for people with moderate to severe level addictions.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Drug Rehab

The intensive outpatient program is another form of outpatient addiction treatment. During intensive outpatient programs, patients receive a few hours of treatment a day, a few times each week.

Intensive outpatient program treatment is still pretty intense, although not as intense as PHP or any form of inpatient treatment. Therefore, people with moderate levels of addiction should attend intensive outpatient programs.

Standard Outpatient Treatment

Standard outpatient treatment is the least structured and intense form of outpatient treatment. This is due to the fact that standard outpatient treatment programs only last for a couple of hours a day, once or twice a week.

Once treatment is over, patients can go home and live out their normal lives. Due to the small amount of time recovering addicts must spend in standard outpatient treatment, this form of outpatient treatment is only for people with mild addictions.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

When a person suffers from severe withdrawal symptoms while in detox, the medical staff at the detox facility will provide that individual with prescription medications to help him or her manage. The process of providing medications to assist those in detox and addiction recovery manage their withdrawal symptoms is called medication-assisted treatment.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment 

Dual diagnosis treatment is the treatment of both an addiction and a mental illness. For dual diagnosis treatment to occur properly, it’s imperative that the treatment of both the addiction and the mental illness occur simultaneously. This is because addiction and mental illness are often linked to one another. Thus, treating one condition without treating the other could cause the lingering illness to spark the renewal of the treated one.

Aftercare Treatment

After a recovering addict completes addiction treatment, he or she should attend aftercare treatment. Aftercare treatment is any treatment practice or form of addiction therapy that one carries over into recovery. For example, one form of aftercare treatment can include 12-step support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous. Continued therapy after addiction treatment is over is also a form of aftercare treatment.
