Residential treatment for drug or alcohol addiction means a client lives at the facility while being treated, which is different than outpatient rehab. The type of care rendered at a residential program in Hill can vary, but generally many facilities offer group and individual counseling, therapy and psychotherapy, and many programs follow the twelve-step model of treatment. There are a few residential centers that use alternative/non-traditional services into their rehab plans, services which can augment normal rehab and help with the process of recovery greatly.
Some examples of other services someone might expect are natural rehab and holistic practices integrated into the rehab program. A medicine free detoxification that uses supplements and vitamins and even a sauna to sweat out drugs and toxins is a great instance of this. This kind of different detox method also prevents drugs and toxins from lingering in the body and creating potential issues in the future. Many facilities use exercise including message therapy, meditation, acupuncture, yoga and tai chi which can give relief from psychological distress while also offering physical gains. There are residential facilities, specifically for young people, that use wilderness therapy that can help clients get their self-confidence back and teach them the tools they need to stay sober and be able to enjoy life again.
