Luxury Drug Rehabs

What does the traditional rehab consist of?

Traditional treatment methods of the earlier times were very intense and confrontational by design to break down an addict’s denial and resistance to their addiction. There are many programs such as inpatient, outpatient, long-term, short-term, twelve step dual diagnosis and many such categories to choose from. The NIDA or National Institute on Drug Abuse considers the Twelve Step program developed by Alcoholics Anonymous as a traditional short-term and a 24-hour a day care, usually in settings other than hospitals as a long-term program. There is also the therapeutic community, counseling and services within the traditional model that provide pressure on the addicts to stay sober.

Elements of luxury drug rehab

The luxury drug rehab centers like the traditional ones are not confrontational in their approach. As far as medication is concerned there are no major differences between these two treatment centers. The type of facilities and amenities that are offered by a luxury drug rehab centers are very expensive and unique to the center. A major element is the total privacy they offer. Except for the Christian luxury drug rehab centers all others adopt holistic approach that include different types of massages, yoga, acupuncture, acupressure and tai chi sessions and many others. Various unique therapy options such as equine therapy, art forms, adventure and so on are made available. Patients enjoy gourmet meals that are customized to fit the individual’s specific dietary requirements.

Many centers have state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities to test cognitive and neuro-psychological faculties that rule out or confirm the presence of dual diagnosis conditions. These centers believe each client’s addiction issues to be unique and therefore chart out a specific treatment plan that is distinct. Also changes are made during the program for further customization. Some centers have come up with clinical and medical milestones to measure progress throughout the program thus giving satisfaction and encouragement to the clients.

Drawback of luxury drug rehab (cost, a bit too comfortable)

The major drawbacks of luxury drug rehabs are:

The cost is very prohibitive, typically a few thousand dollars per week, making it unaffordable for many.
Difficulty in establishing effective peer support groups as people from different socio-economic backgrounds do not gel well.
Some of these centers are tucked away in far off islands making it expensive for you to travel and more so for your family members to visit.
