Temecula, CA Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers

A residential treatment program is where you go to live “on campus” for a designated period of time. It’s also often called “inpatient treatment,” although many residential treatment programs don’t resemble a hospital at all. It’s a place where people who misuse drugs simply go to get better. A residential program usually lasts for a designated period of time, such as 30 or 60 days. There are also longer, more intensive residential programs. Many of these programs have a detox facility on their campus as well. This way, a person can detox from drugs and alcohol and immediately start attending meetings and therapies. At a residential treatment center, you’ll find everything from tennis courts to group therapy, depending on the facility. Many residential programs also take clients to outside meetings, so they get a feel for the 12 steps and how recovery can be after the program. A benefit of inpatient drug rehab is also around-the-clock staff. Whether you need help with medication or simply someone to talk to, someone is always there.

A partial hospitalization program is essentially an intensive type of outpatient program. Also known as PHP, this type of treatment is beneficial if you have work or family duties at home, and cannot go completely inpatient for a long period of time. With these types of programs, you usually attend four to five days a week at a local treatment facility or hospital, for four to five hours a day. Many of these programs are very flexible, with PHP hours being offered in the afternoon or evening as well. Here, you’ll likely attend group therapy. You may also have a psychiatrist and mental health staff to help with any co-occurring disorders or other issues.

An outpatient program may have you attend two to three times a week, for short sessions. You’ll likely have group therapy, individual therapy and a clinician you talk to about medication or other issues. You may be discharged to an outpatient program after a residential treatment stay, or you may attend outpatient on your own. You may attend classes such as Relapse Prevention, Art Therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and more. Many that attend outpatient drug rehab also complement it by being introduced to local 12-step and recovery meetings to help facilitate the process of recovery.

Alcoholics Anonymous was one of the first alternatives for struggling alcoholics, and to date, has been one of the most successful. First founded in the 1930s by two men who were struggling to stay substance-free, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob soon learned that by helping each other they could find a lifetime of sobriety. Soon after, the 12 steps were born. AA is a welcoming, open community. An open meeting is for any member of the public, while a closed meeting is for alcoholics only – or for anyone who thinks they may have a problem. Visit these meetings as part of your alcohol treatment.

Narcotics Anonymous is very similar to AA, but the focus is more on drugs and the problems associated with them than on alcohol. It was first founded in the 1950s for struggling drug addicts that didn’t completely relate to AA meetings. These meetings are also based on the 12 steps, and are a great resource to help maintain sobriety, find support, and to help others with their drug treatment in Temecula.

AA and NA both are based on the 12 steps, which essentially are 12 spiritual principles to live by. These types of 12-step meetings are exceedingly popular, but they’re not the only recovery meetings. SMART recovery (which stands for Self Management and Recovery Training) is more based on CBT principles (cognitive behavioral therapy). These principles stand to replace bad habits with good ones, and negative thinking with positive thinking.

When someone has a drug or alcohol problem, the addict or alcoholic is not the only person in pain. Often, friends and family members struggle with caring for someone who has a problem. If you have a friend or loved one in the grips of addiction, AL-Anon or Nar-Anon is there to help. First founded by the wife of AA founder Bill Wilson, Al-Anon (and its sister group, Nar-Anon) is to help the parents, spouses, and friends of those addicted. You need support too when times get tough, and these types of meetings can provide love and support when you’re hurting.
