Dilaudid Explained

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) is an opioid pain medication used to treat moderate-to-severe pain. This drug is similar to morphine. It is well-known that Dilaudid is a habit-forming substance, so it isn’t surprising to hear about people abusing and becoming addicted to this drug. What is important is that once you recognize you are addicted, you seek help.

Types of Recovery Programs

dilaudid recovery treatmentYou probably have a list of a few Dilaudid rehabilitation facilities to consider, but you don’t know which one is the most appropriate. While you are evaluating these facilities, remember that each person’s needs are different, and each Dilaudid recovery program will also be different. It may have taken a long time to develop an addiction to Dilaudid, and it may take a long time to get better. Remember that treatment and recovery is a journey, not an event. Don’t be concerned with the length of time required to go through treatment and recovery; focus on the types of support and long-term follow-up care you or your loved one will receive.

The best residential Dilaudid recovery centers will address all aspects of the addict’s life, not just the drug abuse and addiction issue. Effective treatment will also help the person with his or her emotional pain and other problems that have contributed to the addiction. While a luxurious treatment facility would be ideal for most people, it’s not always affordable. A high-quality treatment program can still be found at a more affordable center. Look for a facility that has:

  • A state-accredited program run by licensed addiction specialists and mental health professionals
  • A high success rate, as shown by statistics compiled by an objective outside agency
  • Well-run aftercare services to prevent a relapse
  • Regular inspections by a licensing agency for health and safety

Types of Services

You also need to choose a Dilaudid rehabilitation facility that offers the level of care you need. There are basically five types of services, but not all treatment centers will offer all five services. The five services are:

  • Detoxification
  • Primary care
  • Extended care
  • Partial care
  • Outpatient care

Be aware that residential Dilaudid recovery centers typically only offer detox, primary care and extended care services. Non-residential recovery centers usually only offer partial and outpatient care services. Within each of these service types, there are different levels of support, including:

  • Detox services usually include the use of medication, when needed, to help the patient through withdrawal.
  • Primary care services typically include several types of therapy, such as individual therapy, group therapy, individual counseling, alumni support groups and more.
  • Extended care services are less structured. They are for people who are transitioning from primary care treatment who are not quite ready to go home. Services include counseling, individual and group therapy, and support groups.
  • Partial care services are non-residential treatment programs where the addict receives between two and five hours of services a day. This allows the person to remain living at home and going to work or school.
  • Outpatient care services are also non-residential treatment programs with even less time spent in therapy. A person receiving outpatient care will typically attend group or individual therapy sessions a night or on the weekends. This situation creates a positive, peer-group environment that can help any addict, no matter how long he or she has been drug-free.

“Some Dilaudid treatment programs will offer all three types, some will offer two of the three services, and some will offer limited 12-step program and clinical services”Next, you need to decide if you want medical, clinical or 12-step rehabilitation services. Some Dilaudid treatment programs will offer all three types, some will offer two of the three services, and some will offer limited 12-step program and clinical services. Medical services usually include detox and psychiatric services. Clinical services typically comprise the types of therapies you’d expect to receive in rehab: psychological evaluation, individual and group therapy, counseling, and even couples’ and family therapy. Finally, there are 12-step programs complete with special meetings and educational opportunities. This service is geared towards recovery-related issues like trigger identification and relapse prevention.

The Cost of Rehabilitation

Cost is a big issue when it comes to choosing a recovery treatment program. You could spend as little as nothing to thousands of dollars a week, depending on the type of facility. Check with your health insurance provider because some or all of a residential rehabilitation program may be covered. If you are working, your employer may also have an employee benefit program that will cover some or all of the cost of rehab or treatment.
