Tuscaloosa, AL Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers

Patients in residential treatment get to take a break from their normal environment, which can be helpful to healing and recovery if you live in a destructive environment. By having access to medical professionals and addiction specialists and by living in the facility 24 hours a day, you can give yourself the space and time you need to heal.

Patients in a partial hospitalization get to receive the intensive treatment that residential patients receive, but they are allowed to go home in the evenings or to on site housing if it’s available. This may be a better fit for patients who are married or who have families and already have a stable place to live.

Patients in outpatient treatment are given the most flexible schedules. They are expected to go to the facility for rehabilitation activities for 10 to 20 hours a week, and the rest of the time, they live at home. This program only works for those who are not in danger of relapsing.

Substances like alcohol are so prevalent in our society that it can be extremely difficult for some people with alcohol addiction to stay sober after completing a treatment program. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings can play an important role in the long-term sobriety of many people. This 12-step program was founded in 1935, and currently holds meetings in over 170 countries.

Alcohol misuse continues to be a nationwide epidemic. There is help available, however. Patients who choose to go through a treatment program and counseling can take the next step by attending group meetings like those offered by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). AA can play an important part in the lives suffering from alcoholism in their quest for recovery. Listed below are some of the AA meetings that are available in Fairfield, Connecticut.

For those who are addicted to harder substances like marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, hallucinogens and prescription medications, Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings are often helpful. NA is the 12-step program that focuses on those who battle an addiction to drugs, not just alcohol. When patients attend meetings along with regular therapy, they can avoid relapse and stay on the path to long-term recovery.

SMART (Self-Management for Addiction Recovery Training) is an international non-profit organization that was founded in 1994. The meetings of SMART Recovery offer people an alternative to the 12-step meetings of AA and NA. Operating based on a 4-point system that encourages self-reliance and aims to empower its members, SMART Recovery is based more on scientific research. For those who are uncomfortable with all of the talk of a “higher power” in AA and NA, SMART Recovery may be a better fit. Here is the closest meeting to Tuscaloosa.

You can go through many different emotions on a daily basis when you care for a person who struggles with addiction: anger, sadness, betrayal, despair, elation, compassion and exhaustion are just a few. Sometimes loved ones of people who suffer from substance use disorder really need to find their own source of support. For this reason, Al-Anon and Nar-Anon are 12-step meetings that are dedicated to the parents, children, friends, spouses, relatives and loved ones of those who struggle with an addiction to alcohol or drugs. Here are a couple of options for meetings in the Tuscaloosa area.
