Rhode Island Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers

10 things everyone should know about Rhode Island Alcohol and Drug Rehab

• There are two primary types of rehab centers in Rhode Island: residential and outpatient.
• In residential rehab, individuals live at the facility during treatment. These individuals are watched closely by the staff to make sure they are making progress with their recovery, and are acting as a productive part of the rehab process.
• In outpatient rehab, people attend treatment during the day, and are then free to return to their families in the evening. This freedom gives people an additional way to access their support structure during treatment - an essential element of getting well for many people.
• The cost of rehab varies according to the rehab center, but as a general rule, outpatient care costs less than residential rehab.
• Before rehab can begin, an individual should undergo detox. Detoxification from drugs and alcohol lessen the chance of relapse during treatment and enhance the effectiveness of counseling programs.
• Detox should always be overseen by an addiction professional. This is because the withdrawal symptoms associated with detox can cause temporary health problems and lead to relapse in many individuals.
• Many rehab programs are often paid for by employers under their workers compensation plans. Sending an employee through rehab is a good idea for the company, since it is much more costly to fire the individual in question, then engage is a costly job search and training program for the new hire.
• After alcohol and drug rehab is complete, many individuals move into Rhode Island sober living facilities during their transition back into the flow of “normal life”. Sober living homes are low-cost residences where everyone present is in recovery from drug or alcohol use.
• Rhode Island features several excellent dual diagnosis treatment centers. These facilities provide extensive cares for thousands of people who suffer from both mental illnesses (such as bipolar disorder, depression and schizophrenia) and addiction (to drugs or alcohol).
• Rhode Island Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous chapters act as after-care for individuals who have completed their rehab program but still need a regular presence in their lives to avoid relapse and stay on track.
