Detox Centers in Salem

Detox is the process of ridding your body of any harmful substances it has come to depend on. This is often the first step in getting sober. Substances like cocaine and marijuana don’t have many (if any) withdrawal symptoms for most patients. For patients with addictions to these substances, there won’t be much of a need for detox. However, for patients who are coming off benzodiazepines like Xanax, opiates like hydrocodone or alcohol, there can be uncomfortable, dangerous and even deadly withdrawal symptoms.

In a detox center, patients will be provided with medical supervision to handle any withdrawal symptoms. If you attempt to detox on your own at home, you may be tempted to relapse once withdrawal symptoms get bad enough. However, you are not able to do that in a detox center. A better option, however, is a national treatment facility like The Recovery Village Ridgefield that will allow you to go through medically assisted detox followed by the necessary treatment program you need to treat your addiction.

Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Programs in Salem

For residents of Salem, Oregon, there are many different options in terms of substance misuse treatment programs at drug and alcohol rehab centers. The best way to understand which treatment program will be the best fit for you is to have a comprehensive understanding of all of the options that are available to you.

Inpatient or Residential Treatment Programs

An inpatient or residential treatment program is ideal for the patient who needs medical supervision 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This program is a good fit for patients who have a high risk of relapse. Patients in this program stay in the facility overnight, and this program tends to last around 30 days. In some facilities, the program may be shorter or longer. Patients will participate in group therapy, individual therapy and healing activities.

Outpatient Treatment Programs

There are typically different levels of outpatient programs like Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs) or Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs), and the main difference between these two programs is the number of hours the patients are expected to be in the facility. Patients enrolled in a PHP will be at the facility throughout the day and go home at night whereas patients enrolled in an outpatient program will be at the facility three to five times a week. These patients will also participate in group therapy, individual therapy and healing activities.

Taking the Time to Heal

While outpatient treatment may seem more convenient than inpatient treatment, it is not for everyone. If your addiction is severe, you may need to take a certain amount of time to focus on your health by enrolling in an inpatient treatment program. Your family, friends and superiors at work will understand and want you to do everything you can to be healthy.

Hospitalizations in Oregon

Between 2000 and 2012, drug overdoses caused over 15,000 people to be hospitalized in Oregon. This is a staggering number, but the fortunate news is that you don’t have to become just another statistic. You owe it to yourself to find the treatment you need so that you can begin a path to long-term recovery. You will be able to find the tools you need to succeed in sobriety at The Recovery Village Ridgefield.
