Recovery from addiction at drug rehab center at Minnesota

Oct. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Minnesota, the 32nd state of the US, was originally inhabited by American Indians like the Dakota and Chippewas. The French and British were followed by Scandinavians and today Minnesota is home to a number of people from different ethnic origins. This “North State” state with Canada on its border to the North, is rich in agriculture and dairy industry and also home to over 15000 lakes. With the spread of addiction now the number of drug rehab centers at Minnesota perhaps equal or outnumber the number of lakes and this can serve to gauge the magnitude of drug addiction which perforce needs treatment to help a person recover.

At least one family in ten will have a member addicted to some drug. They will consider treatment for this member. It is important to know that the treatment for drug addiction varies from place to place. It is due to this reason that you should first take a reference from someone who has been treated at the rehab centers so that you have a brief idea about what sort of treatment is best suited for you and therefore make the selection of drug rehab center accordingly.

As a matter of interest one method of treating drug addiction is known as the “Minnesota Model” developed in the 1950s and relying on 12 steps approach which is still the mainstay of most drug rehab programs. However in Minnesota drug rehab centers have progressed to better methodologies which focus on understanding of the patient, giving him the impetus to recover from within and guiding him along this path rather than the older confrontational methods.

If you take a bird’s eye view of a typical drug rehab center in Minnesota you can observe it is set in spacious surroundings, quite near to a lake with facilities for boating, places by the lake where one can sit and think. In one area you can observe recovering addicts sitting by the lake shore in deep meditation. This practice is encouraged as a means to strengthen the mind and body duality into one spiritual union which is strong and remains in control. Then you might observe group activities taking place in one wing where people recovering from addiction will be in animated conversation with each other, discussing their lives and experiences, sharing and giving. Then you might also observe people engaged in physical exercises and games which rebuild strength and confidence. Then you will also be looking down at counselors in deep conversation with recovering people and guiding them with advice, motivation, encouragement and empowerment. Then you might observe a group of people play acting. What they are actually doing is learning essential social skills and communication skills and self control and management techniques through such activities.

There are also holistic drug rehab centers in Minnesota which will exclusively rely on natural remedies and age old techniques of mindfulness as a means to self control. Then there will be Christian rehabs where God, nature and immersion of spirit in God and nature will be taught to the addicts as a means to find peace and tranquility.

There are luxurious drug rehabs and Spartan no-nonsense drug rehabs and government and charity funded rehabs all with one single aim: get the addict to recover and improve his life as also life in the state of Minnesota.
