With all the media reports these days about celebrities going into drug rehab two, three or more times. The question inevitably gets asked: "Will I be able to stay off drugs after completing drug rehab?"

It's a valid question, but the answer is not a simple "yes" or "no". The true answer would have to be something like: "It depends on three main factors."

FACTOR 1 - YOU: Perhaps the number one factor for the success of your drug rehab is you - often more important than the type of drug rehab program itself. Drug rehab is successful to the degree that you are committed to getting better. Without that commitment, no drug rehab program can do very much. With your commitment to give it your all, to really dig in and participate with every fiber of your being, you bring an essential ingredient to the rehabilitation process. You bring the means that makes the help work wonders.

FACTOR 2 - DRUG DETOX: The first step of a drug rehab is drug detox, to help you get off alcohol or drugs as comfortably and safely as possible so you can continue with the drug rehab program. You should ensure you receive medically supervised drug detox that is monitored and adjusted to work best for your personal health and metabolism. Attention to your nutritional needs is important, because alcohol and drugs can take a toll on your body's health. Emotional support is vital as well, because detox can be an emotional experience. After detox, you'll be through withdrawal period, feeling better, and able to continue with drug rehab.

FACTOR 3 - DRUG REHAB: An inpatient drug rehab program is proven to be more effective than outpatient. If you really want to succeed, make inpatient care your choice. You can concentrate all your will power without distractions on the rehab process. This will really help you focus on the issues that led to and surround your addiction. The right drug rehab program for you will address all those areas of your life, and provide the means to dig into the basic personal reasons that contributed to you becoming addicted. It should provide life skills including communication with others, how to get along with others, how to take responsibility for your past destructive actions and their consequences, and also how to take responsibility for the good things you've done -that's called self-worth, and that's where your commitment to yourself really comes into play. Especially important, you must learn how to stay away from or deal with the people and places that remind you of your addiction and tempt you to continue using. In its place you will give yourself the gift of shiny new goals for your new life, and real plans to achieve them.

The length of time in rehab is also an important part of the success formula. At least 90 days is better for most serious addictions, and even longer can be more successful. So be prepared to put the time into your drug rehab. We're talking about changing the entire course of the rest of your life, and that is certainly worth a few months. With your commitment, your strength of purpose, and some toughness and bravery, you will be able have a successful drug rehab program.

The information I got here is the most precious one and also something I was looking for too. My friend is undergoing a drug rehab program now and luckily he is an inpatient. I was always worried about him whether he would again get back to this habit but now I know a good lot about it. As you have said the main importance is of course the person who is dealing with all this still information like these are always helpful. Me and other friends are there to constantly give him the moral support he needs, we never want him to go back to that dreaded habit again. Please pray for his successful recovery.
