Cupertino, CA (prHWY.com) July 16, 2012 - Drug Rehabilitation, 13th July 2012: Drug abuse and addiction to chemical substance is a complex and chronic disease. Misuse of a mind altering substance, over a prolonged period of time often results in addiction. This in turn includes prescribed or 'over the counter medication', illegal drugs, alcohol or any other chemicals often used in order to get high. Addiction in any form is a physical and mental disease, which requires the patients with addiction problem to undergo medical treatments.

The factors that usually trigger drug abuse are physical pain, emotional trauma, and psychological complexities. Some of the most common symptoms of drug addiction are frequent mood swings, depression, uncontrollable craving for drug or chemical substance and 'sudden lack of interest in every other areas of life'.

Psychological dependence on chemical substance or drug increases to such an extent that the addicted individual finds it almost impossible to manage without it.
Many people have this preconceived notion in our mind that drug addiction is an incurable disease. However it is not true, adequate medical assistance and effective treatment program can be of great help to those with addiction problems. These addiction treatment programs help the patients to get over their awful habit and live a guilt free life.

The drug rehabilitation centers combine medicinal solutions with several therapies such as behavioral therapy, art therapy, cognitive therapy, existential therapy, family therapy, gestalt therapy, humanistic therapy, psychoanalytical sessions, peer support group program, and individual or group counseling sessions so as to address the underlying mental illness of the patients, their emotional complexities, and other co-morbid disorders.

The rehabilitation facilities encourage communication among the patients and aims at helping them to overcome feelings of social alienation, disengagement, and depression. The intervention therapist takes into account the distinct needs of the addicted individual before adopting a client based model. Depending on the severity of addiction the individual inflicted by addiction needs to undertake a long term or a short term addiction program.

Drug rehabilitation facilities also adopt holistic approaches to influence the behavioral pattern of the addicted individual and to help them recover completely. Attending the aftercare program is a must on the part of the patients so as to prevent relapse.
