Why Do Some Drug Rehab Centers Achieve Success And Others Not
?
While drug addiction is a very real life destroying problem in our society today, a large percentage of addicts never make it to drug rehab centers. Why is that? Many will argue that it is a lack of motivation on behalf of the addict. But drug rehab centers are not completely innocent either. There have been many stories about centers that treat their patients in unacceptable and even inhumane ways.
They might argue that harsh treatment is necessary to 'shock' their patients out of the abusive cycle of drugs, but there has been no proof that such treatment is an effective solution to this intricate problem. For successful drug addiction treatment, a holistic approach is required that provides the patient with proper medical, psychological and spiritual support and care an approach that looks after their medical well-being as well as restore their faith and self-image in a healthy lifestyle.
This holistic approach is the route we believe in at South Coast Recovery Centre. While we certainly understand and agree that the drug abuse have to be discontinued and that the patient will probably require medical help in achieving this while preserving their health, we also firmly believe that drug rehab centers need to do more than this in order to achieve true, sustainable success.
If a drug addict has any hope of a full recovery, the cause of the abuse needs to be identified and treated. Often this can have psychological origins. Drug addicts also require a new lease on life. Their self-confidence needs to be restored and they must realise that they do have a valid place in society and can make a success of their lives without drugs after they leave the centre.
