Can a society do without a rehabilitation process? Rehabilitation is not just limited to drug addicts, alcoholics but rehabilitation is also needed for mentally disturbed people, for the war victims and for the victims of any type of natural calamity. Why "re"? That means in some way or the other these people have been outcaste from the normal way of living. The cause can be natural or man-made. In the case of drug addicts and the alcoholics the rehabilitation holds a wider meaning because a simultaneous process of treatment has to be conducted along with the means to get the person resettled in the normal lifestyle with time.
Three factors work together. The person has to become normal. This includes both his mental and physical health. The rehabilitation process should take the person to that level that the probability of getting back into the habit of taking drugs becomes nil. Finally he must be able to accept his normal life and others in the family too should be supportive in this process. This is the wider role that a drug rehabilitation center has to play. And here lies the importance of "re" and also the toughness in the real materialization of the whole thing.
Homely ambience
The rehabilitation center is never like a typical hospital not even like a mental asylum. More or less the setup is quite homely where a person is allowed to enjoy his/her full privacy but also involved into social engagements.
The treatment process is carried in this atmosphere and the patient is treated in a manner so that he/she feels ease and comfortable. The drug addict patient in no way should feel insecure. The person must be allowed to express freely and bring out his problems and crisis in life. Half of the problem is resolved if the real cause behind such development of habit is tracked out.
The habitual behavior of the person has to be groomed in the right direction and this is only possible in a friendly atmosphere. Home is the heaven for every individual and for drug addicts home is initially replaced by the rehabilitation center.
