Everyone has different circumstances, but the majority of those who go to drug rehab have less relapses and are better equipped to re-enter the world. Drug rehab gives you the support and tools you need to get and stay sober. I went to a drug rehab in West Palm Beach (Palm Beach Institute) and it changed my life. I've been drug free for two years. So rehab definitely worked for me.

Drug rehabilitation centers only work if the person being admitted truly wants to change. There are many types of rehab centers, including outpatient treatment centers, and also those where a patient is admitted for a certain number of days. They can be highly effective if a person truly wants to stop using drugs.

It usually begins with a period of controlled withdrawal from the substance the person is addicted to (detox). This is followed by education, psychological interviews and support - to help the addict into a better course of life, and healthier lifestyle.

It does work for a number of people including family members of those affected. The person entering the rehab must be aware that they have a problem and are ready to fix it.

Do they use drug dogs in drug rehab center?

I use to work in a drug rehab center and we did not use drug dogs. I also worked in a JobCorps campus where they did. I think it really depends on the center. However, if the agency is large or is a center that the courts regularly send people to, I wouldn't be suprised to see a drug dog used in searches.

You always hear about people being "in and out of rehab". Do drug rehab programs actually work for anyone?

For drug rehabilitation to work a number of factors are necessary. These factors include the duration, and techniques or treatment used at the specific faucility. Two other important factors include the type of addiction and the person. The major reason that people remain addicted is that they have not made the decision to actually recover. So yes, rehab works, but not just any rehab, and not at every stage of a persons life.


Where can one find more information about affordable drug rehab?

A person can find more information about affordable drug rehab by searching on the web or through there local phone book. There are many different types of rehab whether it be a state-funded, a support group, or there are faith-based support groups. State-funded groups are payed by taxpayers and can be short-term or long-term detox centers, the only drawback is they may have a long waiting list to get in. An example of a support group is A.A meeting where a person gets a "sponsor" and they work together on getting drug free. Faith-based rehab focuses on religion to help a person get through the 12 step program. An example is the Salvation Army which is found in every community.
