Addiction Treatment Programs

Dual Diagnosis
Many people with addiction issues also have a mental health diagnosis, which is known as a dual diagnosis. Be sure to find a rehab in California that can treat both. Whether you need detox, inpatient treatment, or outpatient care, a dual diagnosis program will offer specific support for your mental health needs alongside traditional substance use treatment.
Drug Rehab
In California, a drug rehab provides a combination of therapy and education to help clients overcome substance misuse. In a drug treatment program you’ll not only receive treatment, but you’ll participate in activities, receive peer support, and learn how to have fun without substance use.
Adult Program
An adult program in California addresses the unique needs of adults, such as finding secure housing, building a career, and raising a family. Whether you need detox, inpatient treatment, or outpatient care, an adult program will offer specific support for your emotional, mental, and social needs.

Levels of Care

1
Detox Treatment
The first step to a substance-free lifestyle is detox in California. Most detox programs last around one week, although some are longer. You will generally receive medical treatment for withdrawal symptoms as well as treatment planning for the next stage of rehab.
2
Aftercare Support
Overcoming substance use is a lifelong process. Aftercare in California gives you the support you need to stay sober. Some aftercare programs will help you connect to community resources and social services in your area, from housing to healthcare to financial assistance.
3
Sober Living Homes
Sober living in California is focused on giving you a substance-free place to live, giving you the support you need to stay sober long-term. Sober living is a place where you can practice your new life skills and begin to work toward an independent, substance-free life.

Therapies

Group Therapy
Attending group therapy in California is a way to overcome shame and isolation, helping you establish long-term recovery. Substance use treatment includes detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care, and group therapy may be a part of each of these stages. The goal is to help clients support each other, provide accountability, and relate to each other’s experiences.
Individual Therapy
During individual therapy in California, clients work with a professional to address specific individual concerns. Some of the topics covered in individual therapy include developing healthy coping skills, addressing past events that may have played a part in substance use, and building a support network.
