For drug and alcohol rehab programs that you could actually do at home, there are not a lot of options. Let’s look at what would make a great at home drug and alcohol rehab. What exactly would be some of the criterion of a program that would present some success at home? Also what might be the advantages of doing a rehab program at home? What people might it be an advantage to do a drug and alcohol rehab program at home? As well which clients would a at home rehab program really not be an option and might actually be harmful for them?

So what are the advantages of at home rehab? First of all is cost. Anything you can do in the privacy of your own home will be much less expensive. Speaking of privacy, doing a program in your own home has a far greater safety to prevent others from finding out about your treatment. There would be no insurance records. As there are no other clients in the program there is no chance of another client ever revealing anything about you. You would be able to learn and go at your own pace. Also you would always start at the beginning of the the drug rehab program, and follow through til the end. When going to a center there will always be people ahead and behind you. Any program will be a comprimise to the levels of all the clients. You would be able to continue to work and go to school during the process. If a parent or spouse is involved in the monitoring process of the at home rehab program, including urine testing, the progress over time will help to restore the lost trust that in addiction, inevitably occurs. You can continue to work with your present health care professional. Stay with your current therapist and physician. In isolated communities, that lack of any out patient programs is not a concern. The risk of sexual liasons that sometimes occur in drug and alcohol rehab would be elimenated. Tommorow I’ll look at the disadvantages of at home rehab.
