AMAR Home Drug Addiction Treatment Center - Dhaka, Bangladesh

Drug detox is the first step in a comprehensive rehabilitation program that offers all the tools required for recovery. The focus of detoxification is physiological healing after long-term drug addiction – first, through stabilization and then through detoxification. According to the AMAR Home Drug Addiction Treatment Center after stabilization, the focus of detox is on the processes of the body as it rids itself of the drug of choice and treating the withdrawal symptoms that result.

It is important to note that detox is not a whole treatment for drug addiction no matter what the drug of choice. Because addiction is both psychological and physical in nature, it is imperative that patients undergo psycho-therapeutic treatment to address the issues of cravings and changes that were made in the brain by chronic abuse of the drugs. Detox alone may help the patient to stop abusing drugs and alcohol, but without the core program, follow-up and after care relapse will soon follow and a return to full-blown addictive behavior is rarely far behind.

Long-term residential treatment provides care 24 hours a day, generally in non -hospital settings. The best-known residential treatment model is the therapeutic community based on a modified 12-step approach. The program is designed to treat drug and alcohol problems with lengths of stay of 3 months. This program focus on the "re-socialization" of the individual and use the program’s entire community—including other residents, follow-ups, volunteers, staff, and the social context—as active components of treatment.

Addiction is viewed in the context of an individual’s social and psychological deficits, and treatment focuses on developing personal accountability and responsibility as well as socially productive lives. Treatment is highly structured and can be confrontational at times, with activities designed to help residents examine damaging beliefs, self-concepts, and destructive patterns of behavior and adopt new, more harmonious and constructive ways to interact with others.

Individualized drug counseling not only focuses on reducing or stopping illicit drug or alcohol use; it also addresses related areas of impaired functioning—such as employment status, illegal activity, and family/social relations—as well as the content and structure of the patient’s recovery program. Through its emphasis on short-term behavioral goals, individualized counseling helps the patient develop coping strategies and tools to abstain from drug use and maintain abstinence. The addiction counselor encourages 12-step participation (at least one or two times per week) and makes referrals for needed supplemental medical, psychiatric, employment, and other services.

Follow-up care is usually the most important component of drug addiction treatment. Think of it this way: While clients are in a residential or full-time drug addiction treatment program, Our follow-up care include attending support meetings, continuing in individual counseling, family counseling or marriage counseling with their spouse and other family members, and applying the skills they learned in their treatment. They are send to regular leaves for family reunion & getting familiar in their old places The skills taught in their program might include relaxation training and using physical exercise to reduce stress. They also have to apply techniques they learned to deal with drug cravings and “triggers,” which are people, events, or experiences that may entice they to use drugs.

The recovery process does not end when an individual completes our drug rehabilitation programs. Continuing support upon completion of drug and alcohol treatment is the key to a healthy recovery from addiction.

AMAR Home's Aftercare program consists of a weekly group facilitated by an experienced counselor who helps guide clients in their recovery efforts, assisting them in meeting the goals contained in their continuing care plans. Aftercare is a forum in which clients may explore successes, obstacles, and day to day issues that confront them, receiving feedback and support from the group facilitator and other participants. Graduates of our programs are also encouraged to attend NA/AA meetings and events.
