Different Types Of Treatment in Cynthiana, KY.

As you can envision, not every drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in Cynthiana is the same. As a matter of fact, each of the programs you come across will have their own individual notion as to what constitutes excellent treatment.

In the same way, the treatments used at a facility will mostly depend on the original principles it is founded upon. These protocols, however, are not mutually exclusive. For instance, you may notice spiritually-based alcohol and drug rehab facilities that also use evidence-based philosophies.

In most cases, you may find that each alcohol and drug rehab center will emphasize a specific philosophy. This is how most of these rehabs are classified. That said, the most common types of alcohol and drug treatment programs include:

1. Evidence-Based Programs

Evidence-based substance abuse treatment facilities tend to underpin their treatment on the science of addiction treatment. As such, they will extend treatment that is mostly psychologically-based as well as ancillary treatments that are research and scientifically based and is founded on what has been found to work for different types of addicts.

At these places, the recovery protocols applied often change regularly dependent upon the actual results coming out from the latest results in the research and scientific work.

2. Spirtually-Based Rehabs

Spiritually-based drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs, on the other hand, are focused on the religious and spiritual facets of treatment. As a result, most of them lean on the twelve step programs in combination with religious practice - such as praying.

The underlying thought in a majority of these programs is that sobriety comes from the Lord. In the U.S. - a largely Christian country - most spiritually-based centers are Christian. However, there are some alcohol and drug rehab centers dedicated to providing healing and relief for recovering addicts from other religions.

In most cases, you will find that these type of treatment facilities are paid for by religious group - as an example, the Salvation Army has treatment programs. That being said, most religious-based facilities also promote abstinence-based programs.

3. Twelve-step Based Centers

Most of these programs base their treatment protocols and options on the twelve-step philosophies in addition to the literature provided by Alcoholics Anonymous and its various branches.

To this end, most of these programs will require that you engage in group work, attend offsite and onsite meetings, and meet up with a sponsor. During this time, you will work on the steps that will enable you to look at your issues from the twelve step perspective.

Some of the facilities in Cynthiana that are based on the 12-steps may also offer other recovery options - such as individual therapy.

4. Medicine-Based Facilities

Pharmacotherapy-based facilities view addiction and substance use issues as conditions that should be handled medically - in much the same way you would handle other conditions like diabetes.

As a result, they will often prescribe the long term use of such medicines as Suboxone and methadone to manage an addiction.

These kinds of alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are, however, sometimes thought of as harm-reducing because they might transfer your dependence from one drug to a different drug. As an example, the Suboxone might take the place of heroin.

However, there are medicines that have been proven of deterring active alcohol abuse. For example, Antabuse will make an alcoholic ill whenever they take alcohol. Because of this, this type of medicine is useful at managing addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

Some alcohol and drug rehab facilities do not fit into any of the categories we have discussed above. These programs offer remedies that are not proven and may be experimental.

Alternatively, these centers say that their way of handling addiction issues is unique to them. However, they are problematic because they might not be able to provide you with proof of success or be able to provide evidence about their theories.

6. Harm-Reduction Based Facilities

These are drug and alcohol rehab centers that hold the belief that individuals suffering from addiction and a variety of substance use disorders are not completely capable of abstinence or that they do not want to stop using drugs and alcohol entirely.

These drug and alcohol treatment facilities, instead, go with the belief that addicted individuals might be able to lessen their consumption of addictive substances. Based on this belief, they claim that it is okay to have a glass of wine or so during lunch or dinner and will teach the clients how to do this with success. In the process, you may learn how to keep a lid on your substance abuse problem while still allowing for some substance use.

Most harm-reduction drug and alcohol rehab facilities are found away from the reaches of common drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. A good example is a needle exchange program.

The theory behind these plans is that not every addicted person is ready for or wants guidance. Hence, they are directed at attempting to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases such as hepatitis and HIV by providing IV drug users with clean needles free of charge. In doing so, they reduce the risk of disease transmission which arises from drug abuse, although addicts continue using as they did prior to the intervention.
