In the Georgia drug rehab industry there is no shortage of programs one can attend or send a loved one too. But there is a shortage of workable programs where an addict can beat his or her addiction for good. Finding a drug rehab program that works is a bit like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack.
Adding to the difficulty of finding effective drug rehab in Georgia is the variety of programs one must have knowledge enough of in to evaluate effectively. No one standard of drug rehab exist. Different programs use different approaches to a greater or lesser effect. You’ll find, faith based, 12 step, holistic, dual diagnosis, biophysical, group based, individualized, luxury and even programs designed exclusively for either men or women.
Choosing a short-term drug rehab program that works based on your specific circumstances is nearly an impossible feat. Beyond that it is exhausting and frustrating. Unless you seek professional advice that is, which is where Georgia Alliance can help. We can tell you about each of the types of short term drug rehab programs that exist and help you decide which of them is best for you or someone you love.

With a short term drug rehab program, you or someone you love who’s addicted to methamphetamines, cocaine, crack, heroin, prescription drugs, alcohol, marijuana or ecstacy, will stay up to a month in rehab. During this time, the program personnel will strive to stabilize you medically, get you to quit abusing your drug of choice and effect certain changes in your lifestyle. The staff of a short term drug rehab program is comprised mostly of trained drug addiction counselors and medical professionals.
Short-term drug rehab was once intended to treat alcohol abuse and alcoholics. In the 1980’s these programs extended their reach into drug addiction treatment. As insurance coverage became more restrictive over the years, the time covered for drug rehab treatment was reduced.
Research has shown that long-term drug addiction treatment, preferably in a residential program is the most effective means of beating addiction for good. Still long-term treatment is not required or even appropriate for everyone. Short-term drug rehab can be quite effective. Some addicts, for example, need only a relatively short period of abstinence to “dry out”, and then a good amount of aftercare which might entail going to meetings with counselors or support groups.
Generally speaking we recommend short-term drug rehab for drug addiction which has been substantial enough to necessitate an addict being taken out of his current environment to interrupt the cycle of addiction but not so severe that he’s suffered brain damage or serious alterations to his physical or psychological makeup, something that typically takes years to happen.
No one Georgia drug rehab program works for everyone. Rehab is not a one size fits all proposition. Which is why you need an organization you can trust to winnow out a program that works based on your specific circumstances. It takes a caring, knowledgeable counselor with a substantial database of researched programs to hand for you to get the best choice for your situation. Such counselors work for us on your behalf.
