Not all addicts are alike. Some suffer from alcoholism, whereas others suffer from poly drug use, and others suffer from dual diagnosis and addiction. Adding to the complexity of addiction are other cultural, biological, or physical realities that further delineate one addict from another. If a person chooses to find recovery through a religiously based addiction program, he or she will require something different than the senior citizen or a member of the GLBTQ community. Research has demonstrated that addressing the issues relating to a specific group, such as women, can dramatically increase the individual's ability for retention in a program and the ability to adhere to newly learned life skills and ways of managing and coping with daily stressors.
For example, if we look at the issues surrounding women and addiction, we must address, to name a few:
Specialized treatment can provide the individual with a sense of belonging and the ability to form new friendships based upon healthy common interests without manipulation, control, or sexual motivations. Furthermore, issues of guilt, shame, spiritual conflicts, and family abuse can make recovery difficult if these issues are not openly handled and addressed.
To competently or knowledgeably handle the problems commonly associated with specific demographics, such as, depression among seniors or homophobia toward gays, therapists and psychiatrists need to be specifically trained and sensitized to the community's needs, or the recovery process can be halted.
The range of issues confronting modern society can be overwhelming. In response to the multitude of issues, programs that address these issues and their relationship to addiction have arisen. Some of the more frequently sought after programs are:
Not all addiction rehabs can treat every type of addiction. Quality addiction treatment programs can often handle a variety of specific needs, but in no way can they handle all of them. Seniors and adolescents are two demographics that present therapists with many challenges. For example, adolescents cannot be treated in adult programs as their needs and their developmental issues are specific to them. Not all adolescent programs are the same. Or, to use another example, the specifics of sexual addiction are not necessarily the same as those of heroin addiction. Finding the most appropriate facility requires a full physical, psychosocial, mental health, and educational evaluation for the individual.
For those who suffer from mental health disorders combined with addiction, a treatment program that can address both issues simultaneously is needed to provide the patient with the best possible chance of long-term recovery. A multidisciplinary team of physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, therapists, and other clinicians versed in best practices and certified in addiction medicine combined with expertise in the specialty treatments provides the best possible approach to treatment.
Such addiction treatment programs should include:
