Breaking free from the chains of addictive behavior is, without a doubt, one of the hardest battles a person can fight. It is more than a matter of self-discipline, more than just opting to make healthy choices. For many, addiction is a war against an invisible enemy that lives within, and without help and support, most people are unable to conquer their enemy.
For many, the first step in recovering from any addiction is to accept help, and enroll in a residential treatment center. Treatment centers are available to deal with all types of addictions, including drugs and alcohol, eating disorders, gambling problems, and sexual addiction. Programs are typically 28-30 days in length, and during this time, patients are not allowed to leave the premises. They are allowed few supervised visits from family members, and participate in individual and group therapy on a daily basis. The hope of the program is that, upon completion, the patient will have the skills needed to re-enter the world and live a life free of their addiction.
Recovery is not an easy process, and many find the first few days at a residential treatment center to be a very difficult experience. Patients struggling with addictions to drugs, alcohol, and eating disorders may experience unpleasant physical side effects from the withdrawal of the addictive behavior. One of the advantages of the residential treatment program is that the facility has both physicians and psychiatrists on staff, skilled in treating the symptoms of withdrawal. After that initial bond is broken, the patient undergoes intensive therapy to discover and address the root of the addiction, and begin healing the pain that led to the self-destructive behavior.
In order to receive treatment, a patient must be willing to seek help and enroll in the program, unless it can be proven that a patient is in immediate danger by not receiving treatment --which is often the case with eating disorder issues. If a person does not want to seek recovery, there are only a few instances where they can be compelled to do so.
Residential treatment centers have shown, by far, the best results for patients seeking recovery. It seems unlikely that one month can change a person’s life, but in the case of treatment programs, it is literally the truth.
