Addiction treatment is usually comprised of a number of different types of therapies that work towards a successful rehab admission and recovery. Group therapy is important as it allows the client to connect and relate to other addicts or alcoholics.
But group therapy should not replace an individualised approach.
Each client is different with a unique history and set of circumstances.
My first interaction with Changes gave me peace of mind. I knew that they would help. Thank you for looking after my son so well. You made a world of difference, not only in his life but also mine.
★★★★★My son was struggling deeply, and we were desperate. Changes made a real difference. Their care and dedication turned things around, and I feel like I’ve got my son back.
★★★★★My nephew has been battling drug addiction for years and was isolating. Since he went to Changes Rehab, he is no longer isolating. He engages with us and has been sober. We got one of our own back.
★★★★★Safe, confidential and thorough treatment helped me through a very difficult period in my life. Changes provided me with tools and skills to manage my illness and introduced me to a supportive network of people.
★★★★★I came to Changes a complete wreck. Didn’t want to do anything about my drug addiction. I fought the system for as long as I could but eventually my mind was changed about what I had to do.
★★★★★I am now 2 years, 10 months and 19 days clean and sober, thanks to Changes rehab. Some of the main points I was suggested to do were to play the movie through and live life for today.
★★★★★I just wanted to say thank you to the Changes Family for everything that you did so far to assist with my son. In the beginning, I felt like a terrible mom, but you guys have been truely incredible.
★★★★★Thank you to everyone at Changes who helped my daughter through this difficult time. They not only helped her but kept in constant contact with me, updating me on her progress and checking up on how I was doing.
★★★★★Filled with love and rules, Changes will get you on the straight and narrow and help you find the real you. The structure and support they provide are truly life-changing, I am a very different person today.
★★★★★My son was on the brink of destruction, but Changes stepped in. Their comprehensive approach and dedicated staff transformed him into a person I never thought I'd see again. Thank you for giving me my son back.
★★★★★If Amy W wanted to go to Rehab then it would have been Changes! I had no idea what rehabilitation and treatment was but when I arrived, I didn't realise how broken and in need of repair I was.
★★★★★The day I first came to Changes, I was shown around and knew then that our daughter needed to in the best care possible. Changes team members understood her needs even before meeting her. Thank you for everything.
★★★★★This is the seventh post in our blog series 20 things you should know about rehabilitative treatment: What works. This list was compiled by the European Association for the Treatment of Addiction, according to the latest evidence.
Research has shown that approaching each client as an individual and developing a personalised treatment programme delivers the best results when it comes to successful outcomes.
This is because there “are individual variations in the personal meaning of substance use, in the intensity and frequency of use, and its associated harms”.
For example, each person has a particular and unique set of triggers that could provoke him or her to relapse after treatment.
There are differences in the substances used, the extent of the addiction, environmental factors leading to substance abuse and in underlying mental or physical health problems.
All these circumstances, particular to each client, need to be addressed in treatment in order to adequately help and treat the client.
As such, a one-size-fits-all approach will not work considering how different each client’s circumstances are.
A recognised barrier to successful treatment is a lack of responsiveness to the client’s perceived needs.
When choosing a rehabilitation centre it is important to find a facility that uses a patient-centred care approach. This approach is “rooted in a philosophy that ‘puts the person first’” and “aims to meet client’s unique needs and preferences, enhance their experiences with care and involve them in all elements of treatment planning and delivery”.
The length of treatment, approach, setting (inpatient or outpatient), range of issues addressed, use of medication etc should be tailored to the individual and their unique circumstances.
This should be based on an assessment of the individual’s needs and expectations.
A person’s needs may change during treatment and treatment plans should be reviewed and adapted accordingly.
