Drug
Free Rehab
A drug free rehab is a program that does not use drugs to solve the problem
of addiction. This type of rehabilitation program is based on education and
a holistic approach to drug treatment. Attending a drug free rehab is a healthy
alternative to other conventional types of rehabs.
Conventional drug rehabs mask the problem of drug addiction through their use
of medications, usually psychiatric drugs. Inevitably, as the individual continues
to use medication to "solve" the problem of drug addiction, they begin
to rely more and more on the medication rather than the power within themselves.
The drug addict unintentionally trades one addiction for another.
The benefits of entering into a drug free rehab are numerous. This type of
drug rehabilitation is "natural" and "holistic". The addict
is able to come off drugs on their own and remain clean without the need of
additional psychiatric medications. Once the individual has completed the rehab
program, they find that they do not need anything other than the skills they
learned during treatment to remain sober.
The individual is able to enter into society clean and sober, while being drug
and medication free. A graduate of a drug free rehab program is able to handle
the challenges of life without the need of drugs or medication. They have learned
skills such as communication, ethics, self control, self-esteem, and the ability
to determine characteristics of social and anti-social personalities. All of
these skills are necessary to confront and take care of problems on their own.
