Effective Drug Rehab
Having spent some time working with at a local drug rehab centre. I can understand the difficulties and challenges faced by students admitted into such Centers. Success rate is rather low in our local drug-rehab centers. Occasionally I do get calls from parents asking me for recommendations on drug rehab centers and this is what I would suggest to them to consider when researching for a drug rehab center.
Track Record.
Obviously the higher the rate of success achieved gives confidence and credibility to the Program. This, to me is the foundational layer of any Program. The person believes that he or she could make it since so many others had gone through and were successful.
Location of the Center.
Apart from a conducive environment which is important, it must be located far enough so that it is not easy for students to be tempted to run out any time to get drug supply easily.
Methodology Used.
Some Centers or Programs use drug treatment to help students go through the ‘cold turkey’ period and although they may help but using drugs could give rise to another set of problems such as dependency. The safest is to avoid the use of drugs in the Withdrawal Process.
Progressive Programs.
The breaking down of Goals into smaller objectives requires Programs to be organized in Phases as well as Progressive in nature. It helps the student’s progress from one stage or phase to another. Not all students are the same in terms of personality, learning capability and emotional strength. The ability for any student to progress at his own pace is crucial for the ultimate success of becoming drug free. It would be good that there are Services extended to support family members of the student.
After The Program Support.
Even when a student completes the course or program, there is still a very important need for follow-up and periodic assistance to help him or her to adapt to life again. For instance, the emotional support needed to handle mistrust, negative remarks from others who know them from the past. This is a crucial period and any failure at this stage may drive them back to their old habits to seek solace and comfort again.
Experiences & Training of Staff.
The personnel in the Center must be qualified and had real life hands on experiences rather than text-book knowledge. Such well trained and qualified personnel will be able to empathize with the struggles faced by the students.
The Cost of such a Program.
Finally, the financial implications such as cost and length of the program are also important considerations. Are the Fees affordable? Perhaps there is a need for proper financial planning to cover the period of rehabilitation since most likely the student is unable to hold a job during this period.
From the above considerations, I consider the Narconon Drug Rehab Center with its 76% Success Rate stands out. It satisfies all the above criteria and in addition they have resources to help inmates handle Legal Issues! The Program is broken into 5 Phases and they are linked together to give a complete solution to address the many issues involved in total recovery. For example, Phase I addresses the Withdrawal Stage without the use of drugs plus introducing their highly successful ‘Sauna Based Detox Program.’ The ‘Additional Educational Therapies’ help the inmate to be open and confront root issues through talk and discussion groups with other inmates as well as the center’s moderators. This help them to focus on the real issues, rebuild self-esteem and a sense of self-worth. The final Stage is the ‘Discharge Program’ which includes the ‘Follow-up and support’ not only to the graduate but also the family members, caregivers etc.
There is a 6 Month Guarantee attached to the Program. If, in the unlikely event whereby a graduate from the Center returns to drugs within the 6 months period after official discharge, he or she can re-enrolled again without any further charges. I can say this is a fantastic Program and worthy of serious consideration.

I just want to point out that Narconon is in no way affiliated with Narcotics Anonymous.
Narconon is affiliated with Scientology, and many of their success rates are debated.
Please research them further before paying money to Narconon.
Wouldn’t it be a wonderful world if we didn’t have these problems.
I watch Intervention and also documentaries and my heart goes out for everyone.
Thanks for bringing such a important article to the fore..
Keep ‘em coming..
well, i guessed the reason christians centers are getting higher rate is because we are reminded of God. “We can do all things through Christ who strengthen us!”
Take care, bro bokjae!

Hi.
I’m here visiting today because I’ve received complaints about the bloggers over 50 blog roll having members on the list not having the blog roll or the link to the blog roll’s home page on their blog.
If, when a week’s time is over, I’ll stop by and re-check to see if you’ve updated your sidebar on your blog, including a link or the blogroll itself.
If it’s not visible, I will assume you no longer want to be part of the over 50 bloggers membership and take your blog link off the list.
Sorry, but in all fairness, the instructions do say you must have this included on your blog somewhere for others who are using the list to visit. It should be accessible somehow.
