One of the most common questions for people entering detox and rehab is, “What is rehab like?” It is completely normal to wonder this as you seek recovery from addiction. In an addiction rehab facility, your days consist of everything you need to achieve healthy, lasting sobriety.
Take control of your life today by calling 866.294.5306 for Serenity House Detox & Recovery’s detox and addiction treatment programs in Florida.
What Is Rehab Like?
Drug and alcohol rehab program experiences vary according to the type of program. For example, in residential rehab you live at the facility, so you gain treatment and focus on recovery 24 hours per day and seven days per week.
In outpatient rehab programs, you gain treatment for several hours per day and several days per week, but sleep at home, continue working, and go to school as needed. To answer the question, “What is rehab like,” let’s focus on residential or inpatient treatment programs.
In inpatient treatment, your day begins early. It is structured from the time you wake to the time you go to bed at night. This structure forms a healthy foundation you can follow after returning home. A routine may sound boring but fosters healthy productivity and personal fulfillment in daily life.
So what is rehab like from breakfast to bedtime? This depends on your drug and alcohol rehab facility and individual addiction treatment plan. But your days are busy and include a lot of work. The good news is you are never alone and always have staff and peer support.
Parts of your day may include the following:
- Group therapy
- Individual therapy
- Family therapy
- Educational sessions and other activities
- Medication therapy management
Other parts of your day are available for your own physical fitness, personal activities, or for other needs. Between activities are meals providing nutritional balance your body needs for its own recovery.
The Role of Peers and Staff in Your Recovery
There are many things you go through alone in rehab, such as individual counseling or working on educational assignments. Sometimes you need to reflect quietly and look deeply at your own life. However, even these activities include a counselor and support staff when you need them.
Your peers are part of your sober recovery, during rehab, and even throughout the rest of your life. You learn from others in treatment with you. Group therapy helps you understand yourself better through your peers’ eyes, just as you help them in the same ways. You also gain self-confidence in the relationships you build with peers.
