Conditions and Issues Treated
Levels of Care
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Aftercare Support, Detox, Drug Rehab, Outpatient, Partial-Hospitalization, with additional therapies available as listed below.
Detox is the stage of recovery where the drugs or alcohol are entirely removed from your body. There are two different ways to detox, with medications and without. For many drugs and alcohol, the acute phase of detox can be completed in a number of days.
Outpatient treatment can be considered the lowest intensity level of addiction treatment in Laguna Hills, CA. It is ideal for early phase addiction or lower intensity addictions. Compassion Recovery Centers peer group support, 12-step programs, and individual counseling are likely to be involved.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is designed to help those in Laguna Hills, CA with acute addiction symptoms. This means the person is treated in a hospital-like setting while still having some freedoms as an outpatient. Most PHPs like Compassion Recovery Centers require six hours of daily therapy and three days per week of group or individual counseling. If desired, they may sleep onsite or go home (but all participants are monitored more than any other type). These plans usually last one month but can be extended to six months, depending on your weekly time commitment!
Partial hospitalization programs are designed for people who need care but want to stay at home. Outpatient clinically supervised care allows people to participate in treatment while going about their daily lives without staying away from home for long periods.
The Partial Hospitalization Program requires you to be available for individual therapy sessions for a minimum of five days per week for twenty-four weeks. You will be seen for follow-up visits until the treatment is stopped.
Aftercare support is vital to those who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program. This support comes in individual and family counseling, treatment of psychiatric and other medical conditions, and medications to reduce cravings. It helps recovering addicts adjust to normal day-to-day activities and can last for a year or longer.
The majority of drug and alcohol addicts who receive aftercare treatment do not relapse. It is estimated that without aftercare, the relapse rate will be between 70 to 90 percent for most people. Aftercare is the final stage in addiction recovery, but it will also help maintain sobriety if relapse does occur.
Therapies & Programs
Individual therapy is ideal for addicts who want to focus on themselves. It can also be helpful for those whose withdrawal symptoms are exacerbated by the presence of other people.
Benefits of individual therapy are:
- Access to a personalized treatment plan that focuses on the individual needs of the addict
- More privacy during treatment sessions
- Better personal development through introspection
- Increased self-awareness regarding addictive tendencies in order to avoid relapse
- Greater potential for a long-term recovery plan
- Receiving professional advice and detox assistance from medical staff
Family therapy can help you and your family deal with old issues that may trigger substance abuse. The idea behind family therapy for drug addiction is that you are never fully healed from substance abuse until you’ve healed your relationship with your family, too. To get sober, you need to find a different way to cope with the pain in your life.
This is when a group of people in various stages of recovery meet up and discuss their experiences, triggers, successes, failures, and even alternative therapies! Unlike support groups where everyone already knows each other, group therapy is conducted along side outpatient or inpatient treatment at Compassion Recovery Centers.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is used by drug treatment centers across the United States to help drug addicts become sober. DBT is a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that combines traditional behavioral treatments with elements from DBT, including dialectics, distress tolerance, and interlocking issues. Some of the negative behaviors associated with addiction, such as impulsivity and mood swings, are addressed in DBT, while others like craving and isolation are not. It is commonly used to treat Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) along with substance abuse disorders.
The four DBT modules are mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance:
- Mindfulness helps recovering addicts learn to identify and experience their emotions while realizing that they are not permanent.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness includes assertiveness, asking for what you need, and saying no while improving communication skills.
- Distress Tolerance has recovering addicts learn how to tolerate distress at the moment and avoid resorting to substance abuse.
- Emotion Regulation is used to identify, express and change emotions.
Those struggling with addiction can benefit from learning certain life skills. It is not as simple as quitting drinking or taking drugs and thinking that the hard part is over. Being sober means living a whole new way of life. Many recovering addicts have found that they need to develop talents like time management, organization, communication skills, socialization skills, and self-esteem to make their life in sobriety work, Compassion Recovery Centers is here to help with that.
