Drug rehabilitation is a dual pronged strategy where the body is treated initially and later passing on to mind treatment at the second stage. The third stage is putting the treated addict back into the society, to the place where he or she should actually belong. Every human being love to live in dignity and harmony. But several factors, including lack of self confidence and fear, drive people to drug addiction. It is this very negative personality trait of the addict that the drug treatment centre tries to set right.



Going off the path is easy, but getting back on the rails takes some effort. Drug addiction induces emotional imbalance and physical penury, which cannot be set right with half-hearted efforts. Drug treatment may cause physical and emotional strain on the addict himself and also to the family members, and the experts working on him. Drug treatment center need to lead the addict forward, one step at a time, in order to ensure that the addict does not break under immense pressure.

The initial drug detox stage is highly taxing. The body, which is dependent on excessive quantities of drugs, may find it very difficult to preserve metabolism rates once the supply of drugs is cut off. The addict would react, in a subtle way in some cases or violently in some other cases. Either way, the responsibility of the drug rehab centre is to bring the addict to the other shore safely. Properly trained staff, from the highest position to the nurses, needs to play their roles perfectly here.

The thrust here is to employ natural therapies and not on medicated remedies. Medicines based on chemical formulas are fast acting, but equally reacting too. Putting more harmful chemicals into an already diseased body can be hardly worthwhile in the long term. Drug treatment should aim at a permanent solution and not at unworthy patchworks.

Equine treatment, acupuncture, Chinese medicine etc are highly renowned treatment measures against most physical deficiencies. Practitioners of these lead a better life than others who are not. These therapies coupled with yoga and medication cleans up the addict's body in a thorough manner and the effects of prolonged drug abuse are negated. Slowly, the craving for drugs abates.

The addict continues to undergo educational therapies which teaches the mind how to maintain equilibrium even if faces with the biggest of adversities. Personalized care and individual treatment touches a chord with the inner soul of the addict, who till this time, faced with only adversities (or so they think). Spirituality and social activities greatly enhances the strength of the mind. Once it is felt that the addict has crossed the chasm, he is free to go home and lead a successful life.
