Drug Rehab Programs

Drug Rehab Program

Because of the drug rehab programs at Stepping Stone Center for Recovery, it has become known throughout the nation as a drug rehab center of excellence. Our drug rehab programs are designed around an individual's recovery needs and as such, every person admitted to our drug rehab programs are thoroughly evaluated in order to develop a comprehensive drug and alcohol treatment plan. This drug and alcohol treatment plan, which changes as the patient makes progress, acts as a guide for our drug treatment center staff to follow.

It is in drug rehab, that everyone begins to participate in a variety of educational, individual, group, and experiential therapies. New insight is developed as to why life became so unmanageable and how to keep relapse from becoming part of the recovery experience. The clinical team at Stepping Stone meets daily to assess patient progress and review how each individual's addiction treatment plan is meeting their particular needs. As a patient needs change, so does their addiction treatment plan. For patients that present with a drug addiction, alcohol addiction and a psychiatric disorder, our dual diagnosis treatment program will see these coexisting disorders are treated concurrently in our drug rehab programs. Individual therapy and an evaluation with our board certified psychiatrist is utilized to properly evaluate and treat any underlying mental health disorder. In these cases, psychiatric follow up is an integral part of the drug rehab programs.

The drug rehab programs at Stepping Stone would not be complete without the mention of our Family Recovery Program. There is not a patient admitted to our drug rehab center that through their drug addiction or alcoholism has not created "problems" within their family system. In many cases, the family has created many challenges for the patient. In either case, our four day Family Recovery Program provides the family with a powerful and healing treatment experience. Located at our drug rehab facility, the Family Recovery Program has been recognized as one of the most fulfilling addiction treatment services provided at our drug rehab facility.

The Philosophy Behind Our Drug Rehab Programs

The drug rehab programs at Stepping Stone Center for recovery have as their core philosophy, the 12 step model of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. While there are many drug rehab programs with differing drug rehab philosophies, we have found the 12 step philosophy of recovery to be the most successful support system for people who have completed our drug rehabilitation program. Its 12 step recovery process and longevity, coupled with its spiritual foundation has led some of the most effective drug rehab programs today to embrace its philosophy.

Drug Rehab Programs' Components

There are additional addiction treatment components necessary for drug rehab programs to promote effective drug rehabilitation. Our drug rehabilitation programs at Stepping Stone provide experiential therapy, recreational therapy and art therapy. When coupled with our relapse prevention program, we feel we have provided our residents with a wonderful foundation upon which to build their future recovery.

An addiction treatment service not often mentioned in other drug rehab programs is the use of cognitive behavioral therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps to change the impulse patterns brought on by drug addiction. It is our belief that cognitive behavioral therapy should be included in drug rehab programs nationwide as it has proven to be an effective approach to addiction treatment for those suffering from drug addiction, alcoholism and dual disorders.

For most individuals with a drug and alcohol problem, support is an integral part of their drug treatment program. To that end, we feel the involvement in self help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous plays a pivotal role. We feel that such programs and the support structures they provide are a positive influence and allow for the development of a positive support system. The vast majority of drug rehab programs providing state of the art addiction treatment, including Stepping Stone Center for Recovery, adhere to the 12 step philosophy of recovery.

The Florida Drug Rehab Program's Model of Addiction Treatment

The Florida drug rehab program's model or Florida addiction treatment model provides our patients with an exceptional addiction treatment experience. The owners of Stepping Stone were some of the pioneers relating to this type of drug rehab facility.

The staff of Stepping Stone's drug rehab programs is of the belief that your last day in a drug rehabilitation program, should resemble your first day after returning home. By eliminating some of a person's fears and providing them the opportunity, while in drug rehab, to face some of their challenges, we increase their chances of maintaining recovery. The Florida drug rehab program's model allows our drug rehab center to provide a person prior to discharge, the experience of exercising their relapse prevention skills.

To accomplish this goal our patients, when clinically appropriate and still in drug rehab programs reside in our recovery apartments. The apartments, specifically for our patients, are staffed 24 hours daily, 7 days a week. It is during this phase of the drug treatment program that patients begin taking greater responsibility for their recovery. While participating in a full day of clinical activities at the drug rehab facilitythey return to the apartments and attend 12 step meetings in the evening. Whether local or outside the state of Florida this type of drug rehab experience has proven to be one of the most effective in the United States. Being provided the opportunity to experience "real life" prior to returning home further enhances an already incredible drug rehab experience and solidifies your relapse prevention program.

Drug Rehab, Drug Addiction and Intervention

Sometimes, getting someone into drug rehab programs can be quite a challenge. The biggest problem getting most addicts and alcoholics into drug rehab is denial. Many feel their drug use is not out of control and they can always quit if they choose to. Like all aspects of drug addiction and alcohol addiction this is rarely the case.

When a person suffering from alcohol addiction or drug addiction is resistant to entering a drug rehab program, intervention may prove to be the solution. An intervention is designed by a drug and alcohol treatment professional to break through the individual's denial and initiate the admission to drug rehab. A professional interventionist will follow their referral through the drug rehab program and be available to assist the drug rehab in developing a thorough aftercare and relapse prevention plan. Interventionists are also capable of recommending drug rehabs that would best meet the needs of the person looking for drug rehabilitation.

It is key that after a successful intervention has occurred to take action. Immediate admission into the drug treatment program needs to take place. Prior to the intervention, you will have discussed several drug and alcohol treatment options with the interventionist and have decided on a particular drug rehab facility.
