Substabce abuse, addiction, drug dependency…its all the same evil
Friday, November 16th, 2007Is a Substance Abuse Program the Same as a Drug Rehab Program?
In the general sense the answer is yes. When a person refers to substance abuse, or drug addiction, it is the same as saying drug abuse or alcohol abuse. A drug rehabilitation program, whether it’s high-end residential or not, is designed to assist a person in the area of drug rehabilitation and alcohol rehabilitation, whether dealing with drug abuse or drug addiction. When making this statement we are aware there are several different types of substance abuse programs and drug rehab programs.
Some of the different drug rehab programs are:
Inpatient Drug Rehab
Outpatient Drug Rehab Program
Partial Hospitalization or Day Substance Abuse Treatment
Drug Rehab with a Dual Diagnosis Treatment Component
Each type of substance abuse program is accompanied by a set of clinical criteria which a person should meet in order for there to be a positive treatment outcome. It becomes the responsibility of a trained addiction treatment professional to evaluate each person to determine the most effective modality of care for them.
