Attempting to put an end to one's drug or alcohol habit alone is not going to work in many instances, and people relapse at very high rates either giving in to withdrawal symptoms, severe cravings to use drugs or alcohol, or triggers to use in their environment such as stress and other factors. Drug and alcohol rehab services are a real solution, not simply a band aid, for individuals who want not only to address the physical aspect of addiction and dependence but the actual reasons they remain compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Drug and alcohol rehab services will begin with detoxification services, so that the individual can be assisted through the often trying withdrawal process. Next however, the different issues which prompted the person to start abusing drugs and alcohol will need to be handled. This step, and never the prior, is what assures a sober future. There are different ways to handle such issues, and drug and alcohol rehab services can include individual and personalized counseling and therapy services, as well as group counseling services which provides peer support and enlightenment. Individuals who would like to make a complete recovery should receive drug and alcohol rehab services for a minimum of 90-120 days.
