Miami Drug Rehab Center Discusses Differences Between Residential And Outpatient Treatment

WhiteSands Treatment Center - Miami has published an article discussing the differences between residential and outpatient treatment programs. Miami drug rehab residential programs, also known as inpatient rehab, require patients to stay in a facility while undergoing a treatment program. Outpatient programs are more flexible and less costly, allowing patients to go about their daily activities, such as going to work, while attending periodic treatment sessions.

Joe Ducey from WhiteSands Treatment Center says, "People abuse a wide range of psychoactive drugs, including legal drugs like alcohol, prescription medications like Valium and Oxycontin, and street drugs like marijuana and cocaine. Professional treatment is often needed to break the bonds of drug addiction. With detox and substance abuse rehab programs widely available drug recovery Miami is possible. Please call WhiteSands Treatment. Our addiction specialists can assess your recovery needs and help you get the addiction treatment that provides the best chance for your long-term recovery."

According to Joe Ducey, the drug addiction treatment process has a number of components, which are crisis intervention, detoxification, rehabilitation, and aftercare support. Sometimes not all of these components are required but they make up the entire process to be followed in giving patients the best chance of achieving true recovery. Detox is often needed when a patient stops drug use to ensure that all traces of the drug are eliminated, which will also do away with the withdrawal symptoms. The substance abuse rehab process can either be inpatient or outpatient and both have their pros and cons.

Inpatient rehab programs are ideal for patients who are considered to be a threat to others or those who require around-the-clock access to medical support and medications. However, inpatient programs have the disadvantage of patients not being able to continue their regular activities, such as going to work or school. And because these programs require the patient to live in a facility, they are more costly. On the other hand, outpatient programs are less expensive and patients can continue with their work or schooling, attending the treatment sessions periodically, depending on their schedule. However, outpatient programs are not suitable for patients who require medical support and medication. For instance, those who need to undergo medically assisted detox need to be monitored 24/7 and are therefore required to stay in a treatment center.

According to Joe Ducey, drug rehab programs are either of the pharmacotherapy type of the psychotherapy type. Pharmacotherapy programs require the use of medications to support patients in their long-term abstinence and in decreasing relapse rates. For instance, there is opiate replacement therapy such as Antabuse therapy and naltrexone therapy. This requires regular monitoring of the patients. Thus, inpatient treatment programs are suggested for these. On the other hand, psychotherapy programs are the basis for most rehab treatment programs. The usual treatment models include 12-step facilitation, family therapy, motivational enhancement therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
