San Gabriel, CA Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers

For those who would benefit from the most intensive option available, a residential treatment program is the best fit. Residential programs have great attributes for those who are about to finish detox or those who have just finished detox. Since residential programs require people to live on-site, there is constant supervision and support. Because detox and the time right afterward can be hard for people with its drastic ups and downs, having access to help 24/7 makes a big difference. As well, these programs give people the time necessary away from daily distractions to focus on their lives. The various therapy options and meetings with professionals give much-needed structure to routines. The programs typically aim to equip people with self-empowerment and tools to improve their success rates.

When transitioning back to daily life, people are bound to have new issues that they need to address. Partial hospitalization programs are ideal for those who have recently completed an inpatient program. Some partial hospitalization programs require on-site housing, whereas others allow people to live back at home. Either way, these programs continue to give people a high amount of structure and direction. The best candidates are people who have completed detox and people who have demonstrated a willingness to move forward on their journey. The constant supervision and check-ins give both those struggling with drug misuse and their doctors a way to stay on track and to remain accountable.

Outpatient programs play a big role for many people because it is what continues to give them the framework and network of support necessary when transitioning back to daily life. Returning home, for some, may also mean the same bad habits or negative influences that led them to misuse substances in the first place. It’s all the more important for people to maintain a constant schedule with their program. From individual and group therapy to family therapy, these programs tend to be all-encompassing. These programs help people move forward with the necessary tools to maintain their sobriety, and the right support if they hit any new bumps in the road.

Alcoholics Anonymous has been helping alcoholics combat their addictions for over eight decades. A program comprised of 12 steps is followed to achieve sobriety and help avoid relapse. Everyone is welcome to the meetings and the only requirement is to have a genuine desire to give up alcohol consumption for good.

Narcotics Anonymous works in a similar way to Alcoholics Anonymous, with the focus being on recovery from drug addiction. A 12 step program is followed to achieve this. Each member is encouraged to work with a qualified sponsor during each of the steps. As the sponsors have already achieved sobriety for a significant length of time, their experience and support throughout the process is invaluable. As with Alcoholics Anonymous, there is no membership fee or any requirement other than a genuine desire to stop using drugs. Below are some NA meetings held in and around San Gabriel.
