Is rehab a last resort?
By Newport Coast | January 10, 2008
A lot of individuals are under the impression that when it comes to chemical dependency treatment, inpatient drug and alcohol rehab programs are the last resort.
While a well qualified drug and alcohol rehab program can be one of the most effective methods of treating addiction, it really shouldn’t be seen as a resource to turn to after all other avenues have failed.
If you or a loved one finds themselves addicted to alcohol or other drugs, its likely that a 30+ day stay in a residential rehab facility is the best option. Many individuals only turn to inpatient rehab programs after quitting cold turkey and attending AA meetings fails. It’s bad to establish a history of failure in treating an addiction - it plants a seed of doubt in one’s mind that can make future attempts at sobriety more difficult.
By attending a residential drug treatment program, a patient can have a fighting chance at long term sobriety. Rehab shouldn’t be seen as a last resort, but rather the best option. Inpatient drug rehab may seem like an expensive and time consuming option, but given the fact that the alternatives aren’t very effective, it’s generally most efficient (in terms of time and money) to go to rehab when the addiction is first identified.
Newport Coast Recovery is a men’s drug and alcohol rehab program that can help patients fight addiction right the first time. Newport Coast Recovery also specializes in treating patients who’ve failed in other rehab programs and need some extra attention.

Many people feel that rehabs are the last resort. Though I feel it is the Best and only resort the individual has. Attempting to quit cold turkey is the most un-successful option you could give your self! Yes some rehabs can be pricey but in the end it is best for your future!
