There is a specific way in which drug rehab and alcohol rehab programs work in Oregon. Though this way is almost the same that is implemented in other states, the small frills and fringes that go with the implementation of the program in Oregon are adjusted to meet with the local requirements.

The first step is to have a heart to heart discussion with the patient during which a very detailed synopsis of the whole addiction history of the patient is eked out from him or her. This is then studied. During this time, the patient is made to undergo several medical tests to understand the extent to which the body has been ravaged. After these results are out, it is decided whether the patient should be made to go in for a detox program or not.

If there is a detox, proper care is to be taken in order to ensure that the patient is able to face the withdrawal symptoms. This is a very difficult part of the treatment, but under able medical supervision and guidance, this part of the treatment is overcome.

After the person is fully out of the effects of the detox, a counseling therapy is begun in which the patient is coached about how bad the addiction was and how to prevent a relapse by recognizing the signs and symptoms and taking preventive measures at the right time. During this part of the aftercare of the addiction treatment program in Oregon, the patient is also taught of the right method in which he or she should make an attempt for reestablishment into active society.
