Various set of rehabilitation therapies for people boasting of different sets of attributes is required as every one is a different individual.

Rehabilitation is a huge field in the lucrative field of health that could be given out of humans and animals for promoting recovery generally from spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain surgery, orthopedic surgery, club foot, accidents and accident.

In some cases nowadays, patients diagnosed with the problems of mental health and those wanting to leave alcohol and cigarettes, are also rehabilitated under numerous rehabilitation programs.

Why is rehabilitation required?

Since rehabilitation centers are the places to help improve a patient from above said problems, it provides complete guidance and therapies to recover them efficiently, without any hiccups.

Thus, in order to completely reinstall the lost vitality in the patients, the viability of the rehabilitation centers loom large.

What are the types of rehabilitation?

With surging needs of catering to a large audience of patients, the need for rehabilitation centers have emerged like never before.

Let’s see some of the pivotal types of rehabilitation

Hospital Rehabilitation (In patient & out patient)- Most of the hospitals today has a rehab staff to cater to those patients who have recovered from say, physical illness but are mentally not yet out of the trauma they underwent and vice-versa

In order to serve and categorize patients, there are two departments in the hospital like in patient and out patient.

In patient rehabilitation assists victims to recover from respective problems inside of the hospital itself. A physiatrist is generally the person who is assigned of this responsibility. A physiatrist is a medical practitioner who specializes in general medicine and also rehabilitation.

An outpatient rehabilitation center is one that helps to recover patients but while exposing them to outer environments. This type of rehab is given to those patients who have almost or partially recovered enough to go home and to give them a classical conditioning of the same, outpatient rehab is given to help them become a more balanced individual.

•Physical Therapy- Physical therapy is another important and the most common type of rehabilitation. It follows the simple process of medicating a patient and at the same time helps a victim come out of any disturbances, physically. Basically, this therapy is directed to patients who are primarily suffering from physical illness.

•Occupational Therapy- An occupational therapy or OT directs at patients to improve and maintain hygienic conditions like grooming and house hold maintenance. It gives the patient a full dummy of the environment he/she has forgot to use and helps him/her to return to their normal self, like the use of which part for what use and so on.

•Speech/swallowing Therapy- This therapy of rehabilitation helps a person regain his lost order of speech that has now become impaired due to the problem he underwent. Also it makes sure the patient is not having swallowing of food problem. Has this not been corrected, it would become very important for the patient to recover quickly as he won’t be able to swallow food and medicines, making him go down in the process of getting fully treated?

•Balance Therapy- This theory is intended for those patients who have lost their body balance or having partial difficulty in balancing the same. The theory helps them become balanced and manage their daily activities in a more medically correct manner.

•Vision Therapy- Just like a physical therapy is for your body to make it sure it works as desired by it to work under normal conditions, a vision therapy is for your eyes. Under the theory, it is made sure that the patient is able to see properly. A muscle that controls the vision department is made to work efficiently thereby, working on those so that the vision makes normal.

•Classical Conditioning- It is a concept of Psychology. Under this important post, the subject is exposed to a thing for some responses. Upon sight of things, the subject begins to salivate and do his activity to gain the same. A cue is also attached to the thing before arrival. For an instance, a dog is exposed to meat pieces only after the ringing of the bell. Thus, the ring becomes the clue or cue that he is shortly being served with the dish and salivates. However, upon passage of sometime, the dish is withdrawn and even on that account, just by ringing the bell (clue or clue) the subject is able to salivate thereby indicating that he has learned the behavior. Even in rehabilitation theories this is practiced to bring back the patients to the normalcy of life in its correct format.

Various rehabilitation programs are done by various NGOs to help various ill-fated sufferers to come back to the fore of life.

Drug rehab is another center for drug addicts, while alcohol rehab for alcoholic people to get dished out from the same. In other scenarios, addiction rehab and prisoner rehabilitations are for reforming bad criminals and people who are addicted to various stimuli.

So, what are you waiting for? Just take the plunge of these rehabilitation facilities at different places and help someone win his basics of learning the art of living life in full fervor.

Drug Addiction


This term, drug rehab or drug rehabilitation, is used for the processes of psychotherapeutic or medical treatment for addiction of any kind of drug. The main aim behind this process is to enable the patient to discontinue excessive or improper use of a substance.

Drug rehab is gaining more and more importance in the world today, as the numbers of such cases are rising, in all age groups of men and women. Drug addiction is a mental disorder wherein a person cannot survive without a narcotic drug. This addiction starts with him/her taking drugs, which later on becomes compulsive and all the actions are controlled by the drug.

There are a lot of methods used for rehabilitation. Medicating, counseling, therapies, etc are the common ones. Every individual reacts differently to the treatment, thus the treatment is given according to the persons need.

Drug rehabilitation includes two types of drug dependencies, they are:
  • Psychological dependency:
    This is used in various drug rehab centers to teach the patient how to live in a completely drug free environment. During this treatment span, the patients are not allowed to be associated with friends who are still using the addictive substances.
  • Physical dependency:
    This includes removal of all toxic substance from the patient’s body, so as to cope with the drug abuse withdrawal symptoms from daily drug usage.

The most addictive drugs are cocaine, heroin and nicotine. During these programs, the addict is observed, in spite of being under the effect of the drug. Due to high usage of drugs, the sudden halt in the intake of drugs could lead to withdrawal symptoms and the body may take many weeks or months to go back to normal.

Drug addiction is a major problem, all over the world. Hence, the rehab centers are located in every city and town to help addicts get rid of their addiction. The treatments for the addicts usually include awareness education, treatment and counseling about the drugs. Some centers also focus on the mental attitude and proper nutrition of the addict as well. All these programs basically depend on the length of the inpatient or outpatient treatments and also on the costs of such treatments.

Though there are outpatient programs available in the rehab centers, the doctors prefer the inpatient programs for the patient as it is the first step in recovery. Within just twenty-eight days of such a program the patient experiences relief from drug usage. After completion of inpatient program, the centers suggest an aftercare program. This program includes individual or group meetings taken twice or thrice a week, to ensure that the addict is on the course of recovery. This aftercare program is helpful for the addict to return to daily life overcoming his/her anxiety or fear of going back to drug usage after the treatment. Thus, the addict is given all the support needed to complete his/her recovery programs.
