One
of the biggest difficulties of choosing a drug treatment center for someone in
New York is that, despite hundreds of inpatient treatment facilities, it is
hard to find a program that actually works. Most use the common 12 step rehab model which is only a month of treatment, or worse, gives more drugs to
people seeking help.
For someone wanting to find a treatment center that is more result-oriented, it may require looking out of the immediate area. After all, if you are investing time and money into someone's life, isn't it worth it to investigate other options?
We can help educate you on different types of treatment methods and assist you in locating facilities that appear to be the best fit for your sitation.
For opiate addicts in New York, they are often limited to methadone and buprenorphine-based (Suboxone) detoxes and treatment facilities. This is very unfortunate because replacement drugs don't solve the problem and giving more drugs to an addict can't be considered detoxification or effective treatment.
Longer-term, drug-free treatment centers may be more difficult to go through at first, but they produce a much higher overall success rate for permanent sobriety. In addition, treatment programs that are very quick to diagnose mental disorders and prescribe drugs such as antidepressants are failing to find the underlying causes and instead are applying a temporary patch over the symptoms. Disease-based treatment philosophies take the responsibility away from the addicts and the counselors by placing the blame on some brain function - they aren't even trying to solve the problem permanently.
