What is Rehabilitation?

Rehabilitation is a type of treatment that follows an injury or illness. The World Health Organization defines rehabilitation as a set of interventions designed to improve functioning and help people live normal healthy lives. For substance abuse, this means helping people safely detox from any drugs and then utilizing therapy, medication, or other practices to help them stay sober.¹

How Long is Rehab?

Rehabilitation can be a time-consuming process. For addiction recovery, rehab can last anywhere from a few weeks up to a year. It can be difficult to pinpoint exactly how long someone will need to be in rehab, as everyone’s needs in recovery are different. While some individuals may need to stay for a full year, others can benefit from just a short 30 day rehab stay.²

30 day rehab is an intensive rehabilitation program designed to get you back on your feet in just 30 days. While it is shorter than traditional rehab programs, it can still be effective in the treatment of substance use disorder. These programs are common and are typically more affordable than longer stays.

How Does 30 Day Rehab Work?

30 day rehabs are intense inpatient treatment programs. These programs require you to live at an inpatient facility for 30 days while you receive treatment that may include detox, therapy, education, and support groups.

What Happens In 30 Day Rehab?

When you first arrive at 30 day rehab, you will be evaluated by a medical health professional. They will take some time in getting to know you, your goals, and your relationship with substance abuse. During this time, they will work up a treatment plan for your stay. Typically, 30 day inpatient rehab begins with a medically supervised detox. Once detox is complete, treatment can begin.

Therapies Included In Rehabilitation

Treatment consists of a few different types of therapy. The most common is cognitive-behavioral therapy, which helps address the “why” behind addiction. Contingency management is also used to help create new healthy behavioral patterns through positive reinforcement. Also, pharmacotherapy is used in short-term rehab. By using medication, withdrawal symptoms and cravings can be minimized.³

Other Treatment Methods

30 day rehab can include other treatments and interventions as well. A common component of this type of rehab is education on drug use and its effects. Skills training, healthy coping, and refusal skills are all taught as well during rehab.

Are 30 Days in Rehab Enough?

Rehabilitation services provide individuals with a pathway to recovery and also put people in touch with trained specialists that can help facilitate healing. Rehabilitation services include detox, inpatient and outpatient care, as well as aftercare.

What Does a Rehabilitation Service Do?

Recovery looks different for everyone, so while some people can make drastic changes in just 30 days, others may need more time. The length of time in rehab depends on a number of factors including addiction severity and the willingness to change.

Addiction Rehabilitation Goals and Benefits

There are three main goals of addiction rehabilitation, which are to reduce substance use and eventually live a substance-free life, improve life functioning and overall well-being, and to reduce the frequency and severity of relapse. These goals can be incredibly difficult to meet without help when in active addiction.

The benefit of working with a rehab center is that they can help you create an effective treatment plan that works for you.

When is Rehab Needed?

It can be difficult to tell if someone is struggling with addiction and needs help. Around fifteen million adults in the US need addiction rehabilitation treatment at some point in their lives. Signs that someone may be reliant on substances and could need rehab include an increase in use, changes in behavior, and withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit.⁴

Who Needs Rehabilitation?

For individuals dependent on drugs, rehabilitation is almost always necessary, as quitting drug use on one’s own can be incredibly dangerous. When someone stops using an addictive substance, withdrawal symptoms set in.

These symptoms range in severity and can even be fatal in some cases. Not only does rehab help manage these symptoms, but it also provides the tools needed to stay sober after treatment ends.5

What Happens After 30 Day Rehab?

Recovery and sobriety are lifelong commitments, meaning it is often vital after finishing a 30-day program to take steps to maintain sobriety. Getting involved in aftercare programs and support groups is a good way to prevent relapse, maintain abstinence, and uphold coping mechanisms you learned during treatment.

Aftercare Programs

Aftercare programs usually immediately follow rehabilitation and are designed to keep you on track and support you in the outside world after inpatient or outpatient treatment ends. These programs include continuing individualized therapy, check-ins, and mentorship programs. Aftercare can also include sober living arrangements, employment assistance, and support groups.

Support Groups

Support groups are a specific form of addiction aftercare. Support groups provide community and accountability for those in recovery. Also, support groups allow people to see other individuals in various stages of recovery, which can provide individuals with knowledge and resources on their next steps as well. Support groups also provide peer mentoring opportunities.

Find 30 Day Rehab with Iris Healing®

In addition to longer treatment programs, Iris Healing® offers 30 day rehab programs. Our program is an inpatient intensive program that allows for constant care.

Inpatient Care

Our 30 day inpatient services are the most intense level of care offered at Iris Healing®. The key focus of this type of program is stabilization and relapse prevention. During an inpatient stay, individuals receive 24/7 supervision to manage symptoms and provide support.

After a 30 day inpatient stay, individuals can either transition into residential treatment or outpatient. Residential treatment is less intense and is longer in length. Residential treatment includes more therapy and skills training, as well as therapeutic activities for wellness.

Outpatient Care

Outpatient care is less intense than residential or inpatient, and it is often considered “step-down” care from these other two interventions. For those who have completed inpatient and residential treatment, outpatient care is a great option to stay on track with recovery.

Outpatient treatment is also a great idea for those who cannot do an inpatient or residential stay. This type of treatment consists of regular check-ins, support groups, and therapy. Medication can also be a part of outpatient treatment.

Aftercare

The next step on the continuum of care is aftercare. Aftercare is important in helping maintain sobriety. At Iris Healing®, we take aftercare very seriously. Our aftercare program includes educational programs, job placement, housing arrangements, continued counseling, and more.
