Amenities
Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
Addiction treatment programs provide an opportunity to get your life back on track with access to school classes or college courses. Whether you want to finish your GED or go back to school to learn a new trade, facilities often enlist tutors and teachers who are certified or licensed by the state to oversee self-study or distance-learning education.
Addiction Treatment Programs
Recovery is not the same for young adults as it is for older individuals. A young adult program in Minnesota treats the patient as a whole, addressing unique life-stage challenges, dual diagnosis issues, and substance abuse.
When an individual struggles with drug and alcohol use, an adult program in Minnesota can provide treatment and mental health support. Designed for men and women over the age of 18, these programs help individuals obtain and maintain sobriety.
Individuals who attend men’s rehab in Minnesota can expect to spend much of their days in therapy sessions. Therapy is focused on men only, and teaches men how to control urges and cravings and live a healthy, sober lifestyle.
During women’s rehab in Minnesota, women participate in evidence-based therapies to treat their substance use disorders. Therapy methods include individual, group, family, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical behavior therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy in Minnesota is based on rapid, action-focused treatment. This works well for 60 to 90-day rehab programs by providing participants with immediate and effective coping techniques.
Rational emotive behavioral therapy in Minnesota assumes that negative experiences tend to lead to irrational thoughts. These thoughts then lead to dysfunction that contributes to substance abuse. This treatment method attempts to correct irrational thoughts to encourage recovery from addiction.
EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.
Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is a form of psychotherapy commonly used in addiction recovery. Based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), moral reconation therapy (MRT) helps clients recognize unhealthy and/or harmful thought patterns and to replace them with more positive and productive ones. MRT is designed to empower clients to make healthier life choices and to more effectively align their behaviors with their moral values.
Levels of Care
Left untreated, mental disorders complicate substance abuse disorders and make addiction treatment ineffective. Dual diagnosis treatment in Minnesota addresses both, making it ideal for those who have co-occurring disorders.
If you choose inpatient drug rehab in Minnesota, often referred to as residential rehab, you’ll receive 24/7 care while living at the rehab facility. Typical treatment services include individual and group therapy, medication management, and relapse prevention education.
Intervention services can be a valuable tool for getting your loved one on the path to recovery. An intervention program can help you stage an intervention, develop a treatment plan, and navigate the admission process to drug rehab in Minnesota.
