Drug addiction rehab

Drug addiction rehab is part of the treatment process for drug addiction. For people with a drug addiction the treatment involves two parts. First an initial drug detox, possibly with medical supervision. And then a period of drug addiction rehab or rehabilitation.

Drug addiction rehab consists of counselling and learning activities to help people adjust to a life without drugs. Drug rehab will most commonly be given at drug rehab centres. These drug rehabilitation centres provide a structured programme of educational, psychological and social therapy, which aims at preparing the former drug addict to cope better with a drug-free  life back in society.

The length of time for drug addiction rehab is typically between one to nine months.
