The Benefits of Drug Rehab

Once you’ve made the important first step of acknowledging that you have a problem with drugs or alcohol, drug rehab is the next crucial step, where you will build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.

Many people prefer to stay in a residential drug rehab center that is located in a private, beautiful setting, such as Promises in Malibu. The luxurious, home-like setting is nothing like a hospital, a place that many people suffering from addiction tend to avoid. In addition, many people are more likely to want to stay in a warm, welcoming environment, and thus have a better chance of long-term recovery.

Drug rehab at Promises allows you to detoxify, cleansing the body of the toxins caused by drug and alcohol use. Detoxification will vary from client to client, and can include medical supervision, medication, exercise, diet changes, and more.

Medical and psychological care and support are provided throughout your stay, including one-on-one therapy, group therapy, and numerous complementary therapies such as acupuncture, yoga and meditation, equine therapy, EMDR, and more. Promises also engages clients in a 12-step program where they can seek support from counselors and from each other.

Drug rehab also thoroughly educates clients about their addiction and what triggers it. Once a person thoroughly understands what has happened to their body and mind, they are better equipped to take control of their lives. At Promises, therapists work closely with clients to identify their personal stressors and triggers, as well as any obstacles they might face when they leave rehab.

Most importantly, Promises sets up continuing care for each client, ensuring that they’ll have all the resources they need once they re-enter their community. Promises staff will do their best to match clients to the appropriate resources in their area, from psychologists and psychiatrists to medical doctors and 12-step programs. Promises also has a longstanding alumni network, so clients can always know where to go to find help and support.

If you would like a warm, inviting environment that feels like home and provides all of these wonderful, life-changing services, contact Promises at (866) 871-3149 today.
