Free alcohol rehab centers in Houston

Across Houston there are numerous alcohol rehab centers that offer services for free for drug rehab and drug rehabilitation. These are especially for those addicts who wish to get rid of this problem but are unable to afford the high expenses of the therapy.

Such poor people are either left untreated for the whole of their life or they have no option other than risking their health in the hands of the quacks or non-professional plunderers who deceive them by convincing to take their services for small amount of money which they readily accept and feel remorse afterwards.

For the solution to this issue there are treatment centers that do not take a single penny from the patients who barely earn their living and are short of money. These organizations are heavily funded by many institutes as well as individuals who happily donate for charity purposes. So they move on with the facilities they offer. Houston Drug Rehabilitation Center is one among them.

The centers that are providing rehab services for free in Houston work exactly like the normal ones do except for they do not charge for the treatment to any of their patients and are run on charity. The methods often used to complete a rehab process are:
  • Detoxification
  • Medications
  • Diet
  • Exercise
  • Behavior modification
  • Self-improvement
  • Family counseling
Through detoxification the body is purified of the toxic matters stored in it over a period of time since an addict began taking alcohol and other drugs. By end of the treatment the blood is fully purified and there remain no toxins in the body thus no chance of their adverse effects upon the health of the patient under care.

In severe cases, a physician is consulted besides a therapist who after careful examination prescribes medicines that are useful for alcohol rehabbing. The amount as well as the duration of the pills or capsules to be taken is recommended by the doctor only and it is better not to go on self-medications. Dietary habits of the patients are also monitored along with regular exercise work outs.

Sometimes behavioral therapy is also given if needed. The patient is taught some life skills that improve his personality and mental attitude towards himself and others in his social circle. Some organizations do family counseling to ease the patients overcomes their addiction, which works incredibly fast.
