Connecticut Drug Rehab

Why is it that most of the drug rehab facilities in Connecticut only offer traditional type of treatment like the 12 step program? Its not that the 12 step program is bad but if you are looking at the sheer statistical side of things you will find that non-12 step drug rehabs are more effective. A Connecticut drug rehab is not always easy to find if you want a long term program or some type of holistic care. Most holistic drug rehabs having a higher success rate because the do not believe in replacing one addiction for another.

Generally a quality treatment program offers a full medical detox, cognitive counseling and life skills therapy. Many people when researching a program for the loved one make a mistake by asking for a dual-diagnosis program. This is just another type of marketing tool for the pharmaceutical industry to prescribe more psychotropic medications for a person who already has a problem with drugs. This only masks the problem more.

A drug rehab in Connecticut that offers a holistic based program is hard to find which means you might have to leave the state to find something effective and long term. Don’t get frustrated because changing a person’s environment is usually the first form of treatment and is always beneficial for the person trying to overcome his or her addiction to drugs or alcohol.
