Drug Rehabilitation that works

Question by ashli ls: How will a person be able to find the right addiction treatment center for him?
I was just thinking that maybe drug rehabs didn’t work for other people because they got into the wrong place. I have a friend who needs to get treated, and she wants to know how to choose the treatment center that will be right for her. I want to be able to help.

Question by paulj0557-vacuum cleaner expert: Can a person who gets drug tested regularly, but has been clean 5 years get a”dirty” from quitting smoking?
Let me explain.
I smoked for maybe a year before I started getting caught up in drugs.Can any ‘remnants’ trapped in the tar(?)if this is possible become ‘dislodged and get in my bloodstream? I did almost anything and everything, but the ultimate drugs I became addicted to were snorted at first, for a few months, but then I became a needle user.
This all ended when I finally was able to break free and get clean. It was a rough hull, my family and friends had not totally given up on me(at least in my mind) since I did not depend on them for my habit financially. If any of you reading this are into drugs now remember that your family does love you even if they are cutting you off emotionally-the fact is because you are doing drugs, you are cutting them off. Ask any of them and I assure you they would rather have your ‘old self’ back then to see you happy in your own mind and on drugs. Think about it.
Okay, here I said I didn’t want any preaching, and here I’m doing it. Sorry.

If you tested clean while smoking; I’m not sure why you would assume doing the reverse would cause a dirty test?
In my opinion, the answer is no you will not get a dirty test from quiting smoking. BUT.. if you use a ‘Nicotine Patch’ or other medical drug device, you should let them know BEFORE being tested, just in case

Question by cheyanne tw: How long will a person have to stay inside a drug rehab for addiction treatment?
I was just wondering how long it would take for a person to recover from substance addiction. I have a neighbor who has just gotten into an inpatient drug rehab program and I want to know when he’s likely to be back here again.

Answer by angelena e
The duration of the addiction treatment is likely to be dependent upon the needs of the person. It’s also dependent upon the length of time that the patient has been taking the substance. Your neighbor has to respond to the treatment positively so as to get out of rehab sooner. It takes a couple of months, and may even extend to a year or so.

Question by dominique b: How to persuade or convince a person to undergo addiction treatment?
I know there are people out there who would say that the person has to hit rock bottom first, that he has to do it on his own… But I have heard of cases wherein the addict was forced to undergo addiction treatment, and that worked well. I just want to convince my sister to get herself treated for her alcohol addiction.

I think it’s really good that you’re so concerned about the welfare of your sister. You see, a lot of people who are dependent upon a substance don’t realize that they have a problem. One thing I think you can do is to talk to her when she’s sober. If that doesn’t work, then maybe you should do an alcohol intervention for her. You can talk to an intervention specialist about this. This is a process aimed to get the person to undergo treatment. Good luck!

Question by adriana p: For addiction treatment to work, does the person have to really want it?
I am amazed at the number of persons I know who are off to rehab but don’t seem to want to go. Wouldn’t forcing them to go be futile?

Best answer:

Answer by dania d
Well, the two of the common reasons why people are in drug rehabs are because the court mandated them to do so, or because their loved ones convinced them to go and get themselves treated. A lot of research has shown that those who enter drug treatment programs because of pressure can benefit from treatment, despite the fact that they were forced to do so in the first place. Treatment programs that offer continuing care may be better for these people.

I do know that it takes more than just shying away from the substance that the person is addicted to. I just want to know what specific steps the person will have to take in order for him to be on his way to recovery.

It has come to my attention that a lot of smokers I know also happen to be heavy drinkers. I was just wondering whether the two habits are really connected. Will undergoing treatment for alcohol abuse also get rid of the person’s smoking habit?

My son has been through countless rehabs., courts, shock camps and etc. He has people who love him and he knows he is loved. He says he values his freedom, but drinks anyway. What is the best thing his loved ones can do for him?
