			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Transformations Treatment Center, located in Delray Beach, Florida would like to proudly announce treatment for all types of alcohol or drug addiction. Not only does the center offer Christian drug and alcohol treatment, but there are also programs which involve traditional addiction treatment methods.</p>
<p>Drug and alcohol addiction in any form is debilitating and all-encompassing. People who abuse drugs or alcohol are often doing so out of a need to numb themselves and forget some type of trauma, stress or pain. Everyone turns to drugs or alcohol for different reasons; however, Transformations Treatment Center staff not only effectively treat the condition, but also the underlying issues surrounding the addiction.</p>
<p>According to the Center for Disease Control, more than 20% of Americans report consuming more than five alcoholic beverages on any given day. Rates for drug addiction are even more staggering, in the years of 1999-2000 emergency room visits involving drug abuse jumped by more than 65%, according to recent statistics. With information like this, it is hard to deny that America is facing very real and dangerous problems with drug and alcohol addiction.</p>
<p>When addicted to drugs or alcohol, many people feel guilt, shame and fear which are common emotions. The caring staff of Transformations Treatment Center understands the wide array of emotions that addicts go through when dealing with addiction issues.

With 30/60/ 90-day programs, the facility is equipped to handle all types of drug and alcohol addictions, no matter how severe.</p>

The facility offers clients who graduate from the 90-day program, an additional 28-day program of <a href="http://www.transformationstreatment.com">treatment for drugs</a> or alcohol in the event of relapsing. These treatment services are provided at no additional cost to the patient, except for detoxification and transportation fees (if applicable). Unlike other drug treatment facilities that simply handle the detoxifying and addiction, Transformations goes on to provide additional services which increase the chances of success exponentially.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Drug Treatment<br />
Looking for the best drug treatment or drug rehabilitation program can be quite a challenge. Many drug addicts are scared to go to drug treatment or alcohol rehabilitation. They may have heard the horror stories of withdrawals and are afraid of what they will be forced to deal with once they have gotten into drug treatment and begun to get sober. Make no mistake, getting sober is not an easy thing to do. So how do you choose the right drug treatment or alcohol rehabilitation center?<br />
For many, choosing a drug treatment or alcohol rehabilitation program depends on finding a place that will work well for their current situations. People with strong family and work obligations are more likely to opt for outpatient drug treatment or alcohol rehabilitation program. Someone who is trying to overcome a drug addiction to a drug with dangerous withdrawal symptoms like heroin will be better served with an inpatient drug treatment program. For others, finding an acceptable drug treatment or alcohol rehabilitation program will depend on the scientific approach taken by the substance abuse treatment center themselves.<br />
Relapse Prevention<br />
Relapse prevention is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation approach that was originally developed for addicts and alcoholics but has proven successful for cocaine addicts as well. In this type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation program the substance abuse treatment emphasizes the learning of new and better behaviors instead of simply learning to ignore older worse habits. This approach utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy alongside a drug-abstinence only approach to help the drug addicts and alcoholics learn how to tap into his self control and resist the temptations he might find in the regular world.<br />
Matrix Model<br />
The Matrix Model works best with drug addicts who abuse stimulants more than any other type of drug. The drug addict will learn how to deal with drug addiction symptoms and learn what the signs of an impending drug relapse feel like. A substance abuse therapist will work with the drug addict and introduce the addict to a variety of self help type programs and will test the addict&#8217;s blood and/or urine on a regular basis to make sure that he or she is staying drug free. This model emphasizes raising the drug addict&#8217;s self esteem and rebuilding his sense of self worth. There are a number of drug treatment programs that use this model with great expertise.<br />
Supportive-Expressive Therapy<br />
This type of drug treatment therapy works best with drug addicts who abuse cocaine and heroin. A substance abuse therapist will work with the drug addict to create an environment in which the addict will feel comfortable talking about the experiences he had before entering drug rehab and before getting addicted to drugs-the behaviors and circumstances that helped create and feed his drug addiction. The substance abuse therapist will also work with the addict to develop techniques to help them deal with the situations that make them want to use the most.<br />
It is important that you choose a drug treatment or alcohol rehabilitation program that works well with both who you are and what you are trying to recover from. Each of these techniques can be employed in inpatient and outpatient drug treatment alcohol rehabilitation programs. Make sure that you consider all of your <a href="http://www.transformationstreatment.com">drug treatment and alcohol rehabilitation </a>options.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Christian drug rehab is becoming a preferred choice for addicts and alcoholics looking to become clean and sober and lead a life of recovery]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Christian Drug Rehab</p>
<p>While doing research on substance abuse treatment you learn about the different types of drug rehabilitation programs that are available, do not forget about exploring the Christian drug rehab. Many people, especially those who have relapsed, insist that a Christian drug rehab program is the best way to get sober.<br />
Professional substance abuse counselors understand now that there are quite a few components that are required for an addict to get sober:<br />
- A safe, sober and structured environment.<br />
- A steady sober support system.<br />
- Substance Abuse Counseling and/or therapy that addresses Mental Health<br />
- (And sometimes) A 12 step based recovery community away from the &#8220;real world.&#8221;<br />
Christian drug rehab centers know that an addict or alcoholic has a better chance of getting and staying sober if he or she has a sober support system that he or she can fall back on and that most will not get clean and sober until the different triggers that make them reach for their drug of choice are identified and worked on.<br />
A Christian drug rehab meets all of these criteria. Unlike the other types of substance abuse treatment centers, Christian drug rehabilitation recovery programs offer addicts and alcoholics something more. Those who swear by Christian drug rehabilitation mention that it wasn&#8217;t just their faith that helped them get sober. It included many aspects including the positive atmosphere offered by the church, the welcoming feeling of joining the church community and the supportive suggestions that were given to them by the members of their congregation.<br />
Christian drug rehab offers drug addicts a sense of belonging that they do not usually find in other types of substance abuse treatment centers. One of the reasons addicts and alcoholics do not seek substance abuse treatment is the fear of judgment by others. With Christian drug rehabilitation program, the atmosphere is one of acceptance. The addict is welcomed into a supportive recovery community of other people who are also working toward sobriety. This community works together to find strength in their common beliefs and use those beliefs to give them the hope and support they need to stay sober. A Christian drug rehab will also use faith-based writings to teach community members how to overcome their drug addiction and alcoholism and abstain from all mind and mood altering chemicals.<br />
One reason that a Christian drug rehab works when other types of substance abuse treatment centers fail is the understanding that the addict and alcoholic is not in this alone. In addition to the other drug addicts involved in the program, people seeking Christian drug rehab are taught to find inspiration and comfort in a loving God. The idea that there is always someone watching out for them and helping them stay clean and sober is often what keeps a recovering addict or alcoholic from returning to active addiction once he or she leaves a <a href="http://www.transformationstreatment.com/christian-drug-treatment.html">Christian drug rehab</a>.</p>
