Drug addiction will present you with many challenges. You will constantly struggle with getting and using drugs. You will be faced with fractured relationships as a result of using drugs. And when you are ready to get clean, you will realize that being constantly faced with the triggers and access to drugs—the solution: a residential treatment program.
If you are serious about becoming sober, a treatment program offered as a residency will support you in many ways. Reach out to the professionals at Rise Above Treatment to learn more and get started on the road to recovery by calling (877) 641-0717.
5 Benefits of Residential Treatment
Below are five benefits of residential treatment that will help you understand the power of fighting your addiction.
Residential Treatment Is Intensive
When you enroll in a residential treatment program, you will be focusing on your health and wellness. It is the most intensive form of addiction treatment available as you attend therapy and activity sessions that will help you learn coping mechanisms to support you when you leave and return to your life on the outside.
Medically-Supervised Detoxification
Deciding to stop using drugs comes with severe withdrawal symptoms such as:
- Anxiety
- Cravings
- Dehydration
- Diarrhea
- Hallucinations
- Nausea
- Tremors
A residential treatment program always begins with a medically-supervised detox phase. This part of the recovery process will allow your body to flush itself with toxins associated with drug or alcohol abuse. A detox will take at least two weeks, and you have the support of medical staff as you experience mild withdrawal symptoms.
Inpatient Treatment Provides Continuous Support
Residential treatment programs offer support to their clients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Addiction treatment professionals are available to help you navigate the emotional triggers associated with drug abuse. They can also assist you with cravings and physical withdrawal symptoms as well. Throughout your stay, you will have a caring and supportive team available to help you remain strong enough to complete your treatment program.
No Temptations
There’s nothing like attempting to end your addiction while still being faced with the option to use drugs. To place yourself on the road to recovery, you will need to separate yourself from the people and places that supported your drug addiction.
When you enter a residential program, you have no option but to focus on your recovery.
A Positive Environment to Focus On Recovery
Friends and family often mean well and want to support you. However, sometimes they cannot provide you with the space to recover in peace. At home, you may face triggers and stressors that could make your recovery process challenging. An inpatient program allows you to focus only on your recovery.
You’ll have access to individual and group therapy programs that will allow you to realize the triggers that initially caused you to turn to drugs and alcohol. Then, you can focus on identifying the coping mechanisms that will continue to support your recovery and, later, sobriety.
