Kentucky 90-Day Drug & Alcohol Addiction Treatment Program

CONTINUED TREATMENT FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Introduction to 90-Day Drug Rehab Programs ​

There is no denying that the first few months of your recovery will be some of the most challenging months for you. Recovery brings new struggles into your life, even if you have been sober in the past. You’re a different person now, and as a result, your recovery will be as well.

If you are looking at different inpatient treatment programs, you will find that there are three standard options for rehab programs; 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day treatment programs. There are benefits to each program, which makes it important to talk to your treatment provider about what would be the best choice for you.

An inpatient rehab program in Kentucky will provide you with group therapy, individual therapy, relapse prevention skills, and planning for your discharge. This is similar to shorter rehab program stays; however, it will give you more time to address each. 

Individuals who have a history of mental health concerns such as trauma, depression, and anxiety can benefit from having this extra time in a rehab program to prepare themselves for struggles that may come up during their recovery. You may start using medications to help manage your mental health symptoms, so longer treatment times allow your doctor to tweak your prescription to find the best treatment for you.

UNDERSTANDING OUTPATIENT TREATMENT

Why Choose a 90-Day Drug Program?

There are many benefits that you can get from a 90-day program at our drug rehab in Kentucky. The use of alcohol and drugs has a significant impact on our brains, specifically our dopamine and serotonin levels. Allowing your brain three months can give it time to start returning to its typical level of functioning.

As with anything new, the beginning of recovery can have unexpected and unpredictable challenges. One of the more unpredictable challenges that you may experience is cravings and triggers. While some external triggers can be avoided, internal triggers are different stories. We cannot stop ourselves from feeling our negative and uncomfortable emotions; we can only learn to cope with them differently. They are a natural part of life and will continue to come and go throughout your recovery.

Another challenge in early recovery would be addressing negative automatic thoughts. This can include thoughts about yourself, your situation, or ideas about drinking and using. Automatic thoughts occur without much thought to them and tend to become more consistent over time. If you were having negative thoughts while in active addiction, it is likely that these thoughts will continue in early recovery. 

While you are in treatment, we can work on addressing these thoughts. We start by looking at the events that trigger the negative thought and then work on challenging the thought. The purpose behind this is that we know that our thoughts lead to our emotions and behavior. If we can change our negative thinking patterns to healthier thinking, we can see positive changes in our feelings and behavior. Being in treatment for a 90-day drug and alcohol gives you three months to work on challenging these thoughts and start to see the positive changes that come from doing so. 

Take a moment to think about what your days looked like when you were in active addiction. What did you do, who did you see, what did you think about? The common answer to those questions ties back to drugs or alcohol. This means that there is about to be a significant shift in your routines. 

Finding a new routine can be challenging! Work or school can help fill up part of your day, but what about the rest? Do you have any special interests or hobbies that you can take part in? 

Think of it as an adventure and 90-day inpatient rehab programs give you free time to help sort this out. Your rehab facility may have sporting equipment, a gym, or creative art options you can try. If you have had an interest in something in the past but never had time to try it, try it in rehab! Use this time to find something you enjoy that you can continue at home.

How to Find a 90-Day Rehab Program Near You​

You may be thinking, there are a few 90-day rehab programs near me; how do I choose? Since you have options, you have the luxury of being selective with your addiction treatment. 

You may need to go through a medical detox program before attending any inpatient rehab program. Detoxing allows you to focus on your treatment and not your discomfort from detoxing or withdrawing. 

A common concern that folks have before attending treatment is the cost. Inpatient rehab programs do have varying lengths, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider about your specific policy so you can have a better understanding of what your out-of-pocket cost may look like. 

You will want to choose a program that has a diverse and experienced staff. Using evidence-based practices is an example of quality programming.

Since you will be staying at the treatment facility for the duration of your treatment, you can look at the level of comfort they offer. This could be in their living areas, group rooms, and personal spaces. Do they offer amenities that you would be interested in? Being in a comfortable environment allows you to focus on your treatment.
