Drug addiction rehabilitation is something that happens in various levels. Before it can be determined what type of rehab is necessary, those involved must assess the level of treatment that will be necessary to help the person. When making that determination, though, it is important to know what the various levels of drug addiction rehabilitation are.

First of all, there is the short term therapy or intervention program. Though these are very short forms of drug addiction rehabilitation, they can actually be quite effective in solving the problem in certain cases. This category includes the alcohol classes required of those mandated to treatment for a DUI or it can be a way of diverting someone who is not in bad shape, but is starting to show some early signs.

Secondly, there is full out detoxification. Detoxification is a totally different form of drug addiction rehabilitation in that it is only for the physical effects of the problem. With detox, you are simply put in a facility, treated for the effects of the current intoxication, and released when stable.

Third, there are outpatient drug addiction rehabilitation programs. These are non-residential programs. They may be group therapy, counseling, or other types of treatment that is done by going into a facility of some sort, but not staying over night. This is a good course of action for those who are having problems but are perhaps not fully addicted or dependent yet.

Finally, there are the inpatient drug addiction rehabilitation programs. These types of programs are done on a site where the patient being treated actually stays for a time. The days are dedicated to the process of rehabilitation and the entire program may last as long as a year or as little as a few weeks. This is the course of action taken when someone is in real trouble.

In the end, finding the right course of drug additional rehabilitation is all about knowing the person, knowing the situation, and reading all the signs.
