Drug Rehab: Freeing The Addict From The Roots Up

By: Daniel Marcus Manson Home | Health-and-Fitness | Alternative-Medicine


When a person is trying to get weeds out of their garden, they realize that simply mowing their lawn will do nothing to eradicate the problem. They need to get at the roots of the weeds themselves, to destroy the plants from the ground up, if they are going to have a weed-free lawn.

The same is true in drug rehab. Helping a substance abuser become completely free from the drugs and alcohol that afflict their lives is a deep process, involving every level of who they are. Both eradication of the substances still in the body which cause a craving for the persons drug of choice, as well as healing for the root behavioral issues that caused a person to turn to drugs and alcohol is key.

At Vistabay Drug Rehabilitation Center, both physical and psychological methods are applied in their drug rehabilitation program to insure that patients learn to walk through life without dependency on drugs or alcohol because they have found the reasons for their behavior and found a practical and healthy way to solve the problems of ordinary life.

The drug rehabilitation programs three phases includes a period of detoxification, using natural methods of cleansing to purge the body of any remaining drugs or alcohol still within their system; a season of studying the process of learning, which helps the individual to lay the intellectual groundwork for making deep personal lifestyle changes that will last; and a period of examining root causes for their own addictions, freeing themselves from unhealthy patterns in relationships, restoring personal integrity, and making life choices that will put them on a road of life-long freedom from addiction and personal fruitfulness.

These phases of drug rehabilitation treatment are completed at the individual patients own pace, and offered for one flat rate, no matter how long the person needs to be in the program. The physician-acclaimed program is offered on an inpatient basis at a variety of restful locations in California, Washington, and Utah. Inpatient care, Vistabay maintains, is ideal for breaking the cycle of substance abuse since it removes the participants from the culture and people who reinforce their destructive behavior and puts them in an environment which is strongly conducive to re-establishing healthy patterns of living for both body and spirit.

Fully 76 percent of the graduates from Vistabays drug rehabilitation treatment program have gone on to live drug-free, productive lives. Graduates who relapse into addiction following their time at Vistabay, even though they have been consistently applying the principles they learned at Vistabay, may return for a one-month stay free of change.
