Jewish Alcohol and Drug Rehabs

Like other designated religious groups, the American Jewish population faces a variety of factors that render them specifically vulnerable to substance use disorder (SUD). Pressure to maneuver within strict religious paradigms, acute and chronic occurrences of discrimination and the trauma that is very often associated with persecution are just a few of the elements that may drive Jews to self-medicate with drugs or alcohol. One recent study from the University of Winnipeg indicates that a significant portion of the Canadian Jewish community knows someone affected by addiction and that more than 20 percent have a family history of addiction. In the United States, where drug addiction is far worse and more than seventy thousand Americans succumbed to a fatal overdose in 2017, these numbers are likely much higher than that.

In an effort to provide adequate, effective, faith-based treatment that speaks to the unique care needs of the Jewish population, many Jewish drug rehab centers have been in areas of the country with significant Jewish populations. These programs are shining a light on an often-lesser-discussed issue within the Jewish community, offering a lifeline to treatment in a manner that is tactful and sensitive to religious norms among the different sectors of the Jewish faith.

Talking about Substance Abuse in the Jewish Community

For many members of the stricter Orthodox Jewish communities, it can be incredibly difficult to discuss, admit, or even entertain the notion that a member is suffering from drug or alcohol use disorder (AUD). In a recent piece for NBC News, one rabbi discusses the struggle that many Orthodox Jews face when struggling with substance use, not the least of which includes seeking treatment resources within their own community.

In 2014, the rabbi created a crisis support organization that has taken on addiction in the Hasidic and Orthodox Jewish worlds. Since its inception, the program has helped more than five thousand clients across the Jewish spectrum. The organization provides treatment and services for those who need help, whether they are victims of abuse or addiction. But there’s another critical component of their mission: raising much-needed awareness, battling stigma, and education.

In less devout segments of the Jewish community, substance use issues such as alcoholism and prescription drug addiction are on par with those in other religions and among the secular population. Other types of faith-based addiction treatment include those created for Christians and Muslims

What Happens in Jewish Drug Rehab Centers?

Like other types of faith-based drug and alcohol addiction treatment centers, Jewish drug rehab centers help patients draw strength and inspiration from their faith and use scriptures to guide them on their path to sobriety. Rehab includes recitation of the Torah and Talmud, as well as guided prayer groups and attendance at regular religious services. In addition, participants will experience group therapy, individualized counseling, and various spiritually and clinically appropriate modalities. In addition to specialized Jewish drug rehab centers, there are general treatment programs all over the country that offer a Jewish program as part of their spiritual treatment offerings. Treatment will include a combination of detox, behavioral rehab, and other aftercare services to help patients thrive in their recovery.

Some of the more common options for Jewish drug treatment include:

  • Detox. Detox allows patients to expel the toxins that have accumulated in their bodies through prolonged and untreated substance abuse. Detox programs can be administered alone or as part of an overall treatment program, but are best handled by experienced and qualified medical professionals who can manage the acute withdrawal period.
  • Behavioral Rehab. Inpatient rehab offers residential programs that generally last anywhere from twenty-eight to thirty days and offer psychiatric and spiritual counseling, family therapy, group dynamics, and a variety of specialized therapies. Inpatient rehab is generally reserved for patients with a more severe history of substance use disorder (SUD) and allows patients to heal in a distraction-free environment. Outpatient rehab allows patients to attend multiple treatment sessions per week and return home to their families and communities after each treatment day.
  • Aftercare. Jewish drug rehab centers should offer customized aftercare plans that allow patients to continue the progress they made in treatment. Specific aftercare interventions should include referral to religious support groups and spiritually sensitive addiction-trained therapists who are mindful of the different substance use issues members of the Jewish faith encounter.
