Kent Detox Centers

The first step in anyone’s recovery journey must be detox. The detox process is different for every substance. For those who are addicted to more than one substance, it will also be different. Some substances don’t have many withdrawal symptoms. Some substances only have psychological withdrawal symptoms as opposed to physical withdrawal symptoms.

Regardless of the specific detox process you will need to go through, a detox center can be extremely beneficial. In a detox center, healthcare professionals will be there to medically assist you with any withdrawal symptoms you may be up against.

While many people do choose Kent detox centers, the wiser choice is often a full-service treatment center where treatment programs are available as well as medical detox programs. The Recovery Village Ridgefield is a treatment center that offers inpatient and outpatient programs as well as medically assisted detox programs.

Kent Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Programs

There are numerous choices in terms of substance abuse treatment programs at rehabilitation facilities in Kent, Washington. If you want to know which treatment program will be the best fit for you, it’s a good idea to have a comprehensive understanding of the treatment programs that are available to you.

Residential or Inpatient Treatment Programs

In an inpatient treatment program (which is also sometimes called a residential treatment program), the patient will stay on campus at the facility for 24 hours a day. This program is typically around 30 days. However, some facilities will have longer or shorter programs. Patients may even stay in a facility for six months in some cases.

Therapy (both group and individual), substance abuse classes, healing and recreational activities and educational opportunities are all a part of a residential treatment program. This is also the best option for patients who don’t currently have a stable or drug-free living environment.

Outpatient Treatment Programs

The partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an outpatient program. Patients will participate in all of the same activities as residential patients, but they will go home at night. This option is best for patients who do currently have a stable and safe living environment. It’s also helpful for these patients to have a support system.

Outpatient treatment programs are the most flexible option. Patients that don’t need as intensive care are good candidates for outpatient treatment. While they too participate in all of the same activities as residential and PHP patients, they are only in the facility for 10 to 20 hours during the week. This is not a good option for patients who have a high risk of relapse due to all the flexibility it provides.

Sometimes the best way to heal from drug and alcohol addiction and begin a path to long-term recovery is to get a break from you destructive environment. When you are in a healing environment like The Recovery Village Ridgefield, you can truly devote the time you are here to your own healing.
