Question by shane c: Can you complete a court ordered substance abuse rehab program from Hawaii in Florida?
In Hawaii first time DUI offenders must take a 14 hour substance abuse rehab program course. I am moving back to Florida two days after my hearing and was wondering if anyone new if it was possible to complete the program in Florida?

If a family member, a friend or someone close has started taking alcohol or drug excessively and a mere habit has been transformed into dependency of late you should take the person to a counselor as soon as possible. Alcohol or drug dependency is difficult to get rid of, it is always recommended to consult a specialist or a counselor at a rehab clinic so that the person can get back to the normal life once again.

Drug or alcohol dependency not only ruins the victims life, but it damages the reputation and financial balance of the entire family. For the sake of the addict and the family, the person should be taken to a counselor so that proper rehabilitation program can be started. Professional drug rehab is the right answer to the problem; it can help people lead a healthy life once again. The right type of rehabilitation program prevents future relapses as well.

When the victim goes to the rehab center, both physical and psychological treatments are done to help the person get rid of the dependency and regain the control over his or her own life. The body is cleaned medically to eliminate the effects of the drugs, adequate support is given so that the person can handle the abstinence and proper psychological care is taken to impart sufficient mental strength into the person. Once the person starts believing that no substance is essential for his or her body and mind, half the battle is won.
How the Drug Rehab Centers treat the patients

The treatment depends on the type of addiction, stage of addiction, extent of dependency and many other factors. The same treatment cannot be applicable to two persons personalized treatment is what all the substance abuse patients require.

Both medical and psychological treatments are offered. Group sessions, meditations, yoga, fitness camp and many other activities are prescribed to the patients. Sometimes the main problem lies somewhere else, psychiatric counseling is something most of the patients require. Proper psychological therapy often helps to get rid of the problem sooner.

Only an expert counselor can recommend what kind of treatment is suitable for the patient. Also, only a professional can suggest whether residential or outpatient drug rehab treatment is good for the victim. In case of severe substance dependence, residential rehab at centers like Charlotte North Carolina Drug Rehab can be of immense help.
How long does it take

It completely depends on the type and extent of dependency. And chances of relapse are always there. Once the center declares the patient as fully cured, he or she should be taken to the unit regularly for proper follow up.

To get the best result, always find a reputed drug rehab center. Search online for a rehabilitation unit in your city.
