Rehab is a place you go to get help from an addiction. It can be an addiction to anything, gambling, booze, drugs, etc.

The Idea is to work on fixing all the problems that resulted from your addiction, spiritually physically etc. and reviewing over your past to fix all the wrongs you caused

rehab is the safeiest place that you could put someone you love, to try to get some help for them to get over there adcation that they have, but if they don't want any help try not to force them.!!!!!!!

you go into a centre and over a period of type you will slowly been weaned from the drug until your body no longer needs it. I think... Im only 16 so what do i no... Most Rehabs are supposed to be 28 Day's, depending on how much your insurance pays. when you go in still under the influence of , Alcohol, benzodines, or, opiates, or even next day admission's. YOU will be put in a hospital environment, called a detox center for 5 days to avoid sudden withdrawal, which can be deadly with alcohol or Benzodine use. For Opiates they give you Methadone, four times a day, decreasing the time intervals each day, until last day where you get a dose in AM. Alcohol and benzodines they give your Librium to prevent seizure's, along with non addicting drugs. They monitor your blood pressure four times each day, and check on you at night without awaking you basically to see if you still breathing, or seizure symptoms. Also they supply three meals a day, and snacks round the clock. After the detox, Again depending on you insurance or self pay. they put you into the Rehab part, preferably for 28 days . There, as in detox, they have activities from 9:00am to 9:00pm. They consist of films about drug use with a discussion flowing, group meetings involving drug and families affected, and they always have either an AA, NA, or CA meeting at night from about 8:oopm to 9:oopm. Usually lights out are 11:30. The Rehabs Up State are usually more spacious, again depending on where you go. But they all have the same treatment....On Saturday's, and Sundays are visiting hours. They usually run from1:00pm to3;30pm. Loved ones usually watch a film followed by discussion, or a group meeting with all the families. after that that hour, you are free to hangout with family. NOTE; some places are more lenient than others as to rules and regulations.

Drug rehabilitation (often drug rehab or just rehab) is a term for the processes of medical and/or psychotherapeutic treatment, for dependency on psychoactive substances such as alcohol, prescription drugs, and so-called street drugs such as cocaine, heroin or amphetamines.

The general intent is to enable the patient to cease substance abuse, in order to avoid the psychological, legal, financial, social, and physical consequences that can be caused, especially by extreme abuse.

Some characteristics of an addict, especially young adult are:

DEFIANCE * SUBSTANCE ABUSE

* LOW SELF ESTEEM *ADD/ADHD

* FALLING GRADES *BAD PEERS

* MAKING POOR CHOICES

* ENTITLEMENT * MANIPULATION

* ABUSE (sexual and or physical)

* OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER

* CONDUCT DISORDER * RUNNING AWAY

* REACTIVE ATTACHMENT DISORDER

(adoption issues)

* LEARNING DISABILITIES (IEP'S)

* TROUBLE WITH THE LAW

* COMPUTER ADDICTION

If you know someone in similar condition to the above described make sure to advice him to seek a professional help for his problem. You can contact me if you need a recommendation for quality rehab centers.
