Therapy is a form of treatment that is designed to help individuals who may have mixed feelings about seeking help. This approach seeks to understand the root causes of the patient’s ambivalence and harness their own internal motivators to encourage them to take action towards getting the treatment they need. By working collaboratively with the patient and creating a safe and supportive space, therapy can help individuals overcome their ambivalence and make meaningful progress towards their goals.
Most people who experience addiction treatment go to residential or outpatient programmes. In a residential rehab, programme care is provided in a facility where clients stay, day and night for usually 10 to 4 weeks. Round-the-clock addiction treatment is provided in speciality rehab centres, some of which are registered hospitals. Addiction treatment services offer both detoxification alone or detox may be used as transition care before rehab.
