Conditions and Issues Treated

Substance Abuse + Addiction Treatment

The inappropriate use of any drug in Lake Forest, CA is substance abuse. This involves alcohol, medications, and illicit drugs. With a combination of physical and psychiatric therapies, drug addiction is successfully treated at TruVida Wellness. After Detox is complete, individuals follow-up with treatments treating the root cause of the addiction.

Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment at TruVida Wellness

Opioid addiction is known as a high-risk factor for future heroin addiction. Opioid withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable and lead the user to continue to use. It is recommended to receive inpatient treatment and a medically supervised detox, TruVida Wellness in Lake Forest, CA offers treatment for opioids.

Dual-Diagnosis

A dual diagnosis is when someone deals with both alcohol and mental or emotional disorder. Emotional trauma, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression can be part of dual diagnosis therapy. It must happen simultaneously to get care for these conditions to handle any of them effectively.

Levels of Care

This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Detox, Drug Rehab, Dual-Diagnosis, Inpatient, Intensive Outpatient, Intervention, Outpatient, Partial-Hospitalization, Residential, Sober-Living / Half-Way, with additional therapies available as listed below.

Detoxification is a process that allows the patient to stop using opioids without experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms. This can be necessary for those who have been addicted for a long period of time or who are struggling with chronic pain. During this process, addicts will receive medication and psychological support from doctors and other medical professionals until they can control their cravings.

When a patient checks into TruVida Wellness, inpatient care takes place. Patients undergo treatment that requires detoxification and counseling round the clock. While outpatient treatments are available in California, as the first phase in recovery, inpatient care is suggested. Intensive and thorough rehabilitation sets patients on the road to a drug-free life.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) comprise regular visits to the California facility that provides the therapy. IOP is suitable for patients who have been treated in residential treatment programs. TruVida Wellness‘s patients gradually get back to their routine life.

In outpatient programs at TruVida Wellness, the Lake Forest resident can live with their family while continuing with their job or studies. Treatment includes educating the patient on drug abuse, medications, and counseling sessions at the individual or group level.

Partial hospitalization program (PHP) offered by TruVida Wellness is an alternate option for inpatient rehabs or residential programs. The patients stay in a Lake Forest facility closer to the California treatment center and attend the different forms of therapy for several hours a day. Treatment duration varies from one to six months.

A sober living home in California is really like a halfway house, often referred to as an SLH. It is halfway between a rehab center for drugs or alcohol and living at home. Any specific rules and regulations must be followed by residents, such as attending required meetings and structured daily chores.

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.

Not everyone who struggles with addiction in California is ready to go into a treatment program. For these individuals, intervention services may help. Friends and family of the individual can call and set up an intervention. We have a professional come and lead the discussion.

Therapies & Programs

Individual therapy involves one on one sessions between the patient and the therapist at TruVida Wellness. Individual therapy provides patients with a safe environment where they can openly discuss their problems with the therapist. The patients find the therapist as a person who they can trust. It helps them to open up and discuss personal and sensitive issues, which they may not be comfortable discussing in a group setting.

Individual therapy aims to identify the core issues that would have led the patient to substance abuse and address the root cause effectively. The therapist can develop patient-specific customized solutions through individual therapy, which aids speedier recovery.

Recovery can be more effective if the entire family’s involved. Family therapy hosted by TruVida Wellness brings in the addict’s family to explore genetic factors. It gives loved ones the tools for dealing with addiction and its underlying mental issues. It is a recommended step in helping addicts adapt to sober living.

Group therapy is an important tool in recovery. Addiction tends to lead to isolation and feelings of uniqueness. Accountability and friendship that is found in group therapy can be more effective than any single other treatment approach. With TruVida Wellness in Lake Forest, California, there’s no reason to go through recovery alone.

Trauma is one of the most common causes of psychological disorders. It’s often found in people with addiction diagnoses. Trauma therapy addresses this by examining the emotions and thoughts people have formed due to past traumas. Traumas are complex but trauma therapy can reduce their ability to contribute to addictive behaviors.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the connection between how someone feels, acts, and thinks. It shows someone how to accept responsibility for their behaviors and actions, while also strengthening a person’s awareness of the circumstances they put themselves into. It can give people attending TruVida Wellness in Lake Forest, California the strength to realize they were self-destructing, allowing them to finally reach out and get the help they need.

A 12-Step Program is a common method that is used to treat addiction. This format is used for both drug and alcohol treatment. It is extremely popular and successful for large numbers of people and the staff at TruVida Wellness are trained to assist in 12-step management.

The right diet can improve a person’s general outlook, sleep habits and thought processing skills. MNT also lowers the occurrence of chronic diseases such as adult-onset diabetes. Dieticians like those at TruVida Wellness in Lake Forest, CA believe that nutrition therapy is the key to making significant lifestyle changes.  

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) uses low dose nicotine products to ween smokers away from cigarettes. The products get nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking reducing addiction to the physical habit. It also allows addicts to adjust to lower doses to reduce withdrawal symptoms.

Patient Experience

Creative Arts

It is believed that enhancing creativity and developing skills related to it can help people with addiction recover faster. Activities such as painting, writing, acting, and dancing are considered therapeutic and hosted and managed by TruVida Wellness in Lake Forest, California. They become outlets for patients to blow off steam, channel their emotions, and express their thoughts.

Experiential Therapy at TruVida Wellness

Experiential therapy involves recreating or creating new experiences for the patient. Many people struggled with past issues such as memories or trauma. By creating a new experience, it allows people to work through the issues associated with those moments in a new experience. This can give them a new measure of control and can help them role play a new scenario. That can help push addiction into their past and help them begin the healing process.

Equine Therapy at TruVida Wellness at TruVida Wellness

When you sign up for equine therapy, also called EAT or equine-assisted therapy, you are getting involved in therapy alongside horses at TruVida Wellness in Lake Forest, CA. These majestic creatures are groomed, fed, and taken care of during therapy, allowing those recovering from addiction to process everything in their lives. Recovery is about understanding situations, and equine therapy is a great way to understand where things went wrong and how to correct those things moving forward.

Fitness Therapy

Opting for fitness therapy allows someone to get through addiction recovery while effectively rebuilding their body. This is a great type of therapy to pair with nutritional therapy, as the combination of getting fit and eating right can help someone in recovery feel better and make healthier choices from the start. This therapy offered by TruVida Wellness in Lake Forest, CA establishes a firm connection between the body and mind, and teaches how to make healthy life habits that do not involve addiction.
