Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment

At A Forever Recovery, long term residential treatment is the rehab treatment that most people need when they have been involved in the long term drug or alcohol addiction process, or have tried to quit several times through rehab with unsuccessful results. When the person first enters into long term residential treatment they will learn about the three phases they will go through.

Phase One is when he or she first arrives to the half way house. During this phase the individual will be under great watch from the people there trying to help. They have on sight treatments and doctors if need be and also they are there 24/7 to help a patient with anything needed.

Phase Two will come after a few months of close watch, and when the person enters into this phase they will be watched much less and given a little bit of freedom.

Phase Three is when the patient is given more freedom right before they enter into the last stage of treatment. During the 9 months the patient is in the half way house they will go through counseling, learn to work with teams, and how to live life drug free.

After they have accomplished the first three stages and learned how to live life normally and drug free, they then will get the chance to live for the last three months in a transitional house. This house is designed to help the patients live a normal life without having them just go to treatment and that is it. The will still have counseling and what not, but they also get to have a day job, and try and live normal in everyday life. When a person completes this stage they will be able to go into the world and embrace it for everything it is worth, drug free.

Drug addiction treatment is as effective as an addict makes it. At A Forever Recovery if the addict follows through with the complete program, then he or she will have outstanding results! No more need to find a drug before your last high is over; no more need to sell everything you own. Life after addiction is full of endless possibilities.

You, as an ex addict, can attend school and actually learn something, or maybe start a career or a family. These things that seem so grand will come at a cost though. There are many painful steps in becoming drug free, and as a patient you will have to be willing to trust the doctors and what they are trying to do for you. Any doctor that seems to be out to get you is really not, they are simply pushing you as a patient to the point where you do not have to depend on drugs anymore, mentally or physically.

The pain will go away after you have finished detoxification. This will be the process to when you will have extreme pains throughout the body and bad side effects, but when this process is over it is just the mental step of making your brain not want the drugs. This will be helped in counseling, where you as a patient will have to work out your addictions and face them face to face. Once you complete drug addiction treatment willingly, you can live a much happier life than imagined. It is the most effective treatment for drug addiction if finished and continued along properly life will become much simpler after you are drug free. So once again, if you make drug addiction treatment what it is supposed to be without giving up, it is definitely 100% effective.

Moral reconation is the treatment that focuses on the mind instead of the body. At A Forever Recovery, we offer the best MRT (Moral Reconation Therapy). If a drug addict were to help themselves physically by getting into drug rehab, but did not change their mental state they might end up back where they started, addicted and alone.

Moral reconation was developed to use on inmates decades ago that had addiction problems. The idea was to change their mental thought process before they ended up dead from the mental state their minds had entered while being a criminal and a drug addict. The process was always the same, change the patients surrounding and state of mind and they can be cured of addiction. Moral reconation became a huge success and forty states decided to use the program in their prison systems by 1990. Today the program is used for inmate women, it was first only used for men, teens in detention centers, and anyone else in the prison systems that needs help with their mental state.

It is not only an addiction treatment, it is a way for real people to change their way of living and get the help they need to live in a normal society. The program will have group meetings to talk about their mistakes and what they are doing to fix them. They also assign specific examples for the individual to focus on for the next group session that they can discuss and relate to with others sharing the same problem. The team work exercises and games they play to see what it is like to work with a group and help the individual see life can be fun without an addiction to drugs. Moral reconation is by far the best solution for someone that needs the mental stability and the hope for a better tomorrow. Because before you can break a drug addiction, you have to break into a new way of thinking.

The 12-Step program model used here at Aforeverrecovery.com for rehabilitation has been in use worldwide for over 70 years and was originally created by Alcoholics Anonymous, as a set of guiding principles that outline the process for recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Success in this model for rehabilitation requires acknowledgment of a higher power, and great dedication and commitment in order to stay on the path of recovery. Each step requires a new action that teaches the addict a lesson and gives them the tools they need for a drug free life. Individuals who do not subscribe to the Christian belief system, will most likely not be receptive to the 12 Step model of drug and or alcohol rehabilitation.

Even though the 12-step program was originally created by Alcoholics Anonymous, it has been adapted and is now used as a foundation for other twelve-step programs such as Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Co-Dependents Anonymous and Debtors Anonymous. Behavioral issues are addressed in the 12-step model and include compulsion for, and/or addiction to, gambling, food, sex, hoarding, debting and work.

These are the original Twelve Steps as published by Alcoholics Anonymous:

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His Will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

A Forever Recovery will lead you through the 12 step program and help you to a lasting recovery.
