Drug Rehabilitation, or drug rehab, can be used to help a person recover from addictions,
injuries, and even physical or mental illnesses. However, drug rehab programs are often
what come to mind when thinking of the word “rehab” itself. People addicted to drugs often
need the additional care and assistance that drug rehab provides.
Drug rehab facilities help people to recover from substance use disorders. There are
many different types of drug rehab facilities. Some specialize in helping patients with a
specific drug addiction; others offer a broader range of drug addiction services. Some
rehab facilities are even gender- or age-specific, as this often helps patients feel more
comfortable in the rehab setting. Inpatient and outpatient rehab facilities are also
available.
Gender-specific rehab programs are designed to treat only men or only women. This
removes some of the distractions that may arise from being around members of the
opposite sex. It also allows patients to feel more comfortable or focused as they
recover around peers of the same sex, enabling them to relate over experiences specific
to their gender.
An outpatient rehab program offers drug and alcohol treatment sessions that
can be scheduled during various times throughout the week. This schedule
allows patients to continue with their regular responsibilities and continue
living at home, but they are required to check into treatment at their allotted
times for counseling and medication.

Counseling programs designed to know the underline cause behind a person becoming
an addict.
An addiction counselor's role is to: Provide unbiased emotional support for individuals going
through a treatment program. Conduct one-on-one therapy sessions to get to the root of
the addiction
Substance abuse counselors provide a necessary support system for individuals recovering
from eating disorders, drug and alcohol issues, gambling addictions, and other behavioral
issues. By forming a relationship built on trust with their patients, counselors provide the
support, resources, and judgement-free guidance that patients can utilize on their road to
addiction recovery. Counselors in this field help addicts with both crisis and long-term addiction
management issues, which can range from immediate medical intervention, to supporting them
manage their recovery long term.

Drug use can lead to social and emotional problems and can affect relationships with family
and friends. Drugs affect people in different ways. Some people may become depressed,
angry, aggressive, sleepy, unmotivated, paranoid, anxious or talkative
Drugs that are psychoactive, such as cannabis, alcohol, ecstasy and heroin, have the ability
to affect your mood. They can arouse certain emotions or dampen down others. This may be
why you use them. The changes in your mood or behaviour caused by drugs are the result of
changes to your brain.
Drug treatment is intended to help addicted individuals stop compulsive drug seeking
and use. Treatment can occur in a variety of settings, take many different forms, and
last for different lengths of time. Because drug addiction is typically a chronic disorder
characterized by occasional relapses, a short-term, one-time treatment is usually not
sufficient. For many, treatment is a long-term process that involves multiple
interventions and regular monitoring.
A person who's trying to stop using drugs can make mistakes, feel bad, and start using again.
This return to drug use is called a relapse. Relapse is common and normal and happens to a
lot of people recovering from drug addictions. ... It's the same with quitting drugs
In addition to stopping drug abuse, the goal of treatment is to return people to
productive functioning in the family, workplace, and community.
Like other chronic diseases, addiction can be managed successfully. Treatment enables
people to counteract addiction’s powerful disruptive effects on the brain and behavior
and to regain control of their lives. The chronic nature of the disease means that
relapsing to drug abuse is not only possible but also likely, with symptom recurrence
rates similar to those for other well-characterized chronic medical illnesses—such as
diabetes, hypertension, and asthma (see figure, "Comparison of Relapse Rates Between
Drug Addiction and Other Chronic Illnesses”)—that also have both physiological and
behavioral components.
