What Should I Expect in Substance Abuse Treatment?

When you enroll in treatment, your first step will be detoxification. If you haven't self-detoxed, you'll be admitted to a medically managed detox facility, where you will stop use of substances so your system can be cleaned of the toxins to begin rehab. Also during detox, you will be assessed for your treatment. Doctors will examine you, and you will be asked questions about substance use, genetics and other mental and physical health issues. From here, a custom treatment plan will be created for you and guide your rehab.

In rehab, you will be able to choose a variety of options. Individual, group, family, cognitive behavior, and alternative therapies. These therapies will give you coping mechanisms to deal with temptations to relapse, and stresses that may have led you to abuse substances before. You'll also learn why you have been abusing substances, and you'll learn about the impact those substances have.

Consider traveling for treatment for your rehab. Get away from the stresses and negative influences that may be contributing to your use, and travel to another city or state for your rehab.
