    This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Aftercare Support, Detox, Drug Rehab, Dual-Diagnosis, Inpatient, Partial-Hospitalization, Residential, 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 First Choice Detox, 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.

    Partial hospitalization program (PHP) offered by First Choice Detox is an alternate option for inpatient rehabs or residential programs. The patients stay in a Laguna Hills 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.

    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.

    Treatment is just the first step to maintaining sobriety. After treatment, aftercare support at First Choice Detox helps the individual adjust to a life without substances. This support may involve a sober living home in or near Laguna Hills, CA, career counseling, or educational assistance. This is when a relapse prevention plan begins to take shape.

    Therapies & Programs

    Individual therapy involves one on one sessions between the patient and the therapist at First Choice Detox. 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.

    Addiction and alcoholism always harm an addict’s relationships with others and none more than relationships with a spouse or partner. Couples therapy is an essential part of restoring trust and good communication to intimate relationships harmed by addiction. Couples therapy by First Choice Detox helps repair the damage done to these important relationships.

    Recovery can be more effective if the entire family’s involved. Family therapy hosted by First Choice Detox 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 First Choice Detox in Laguna Hills, 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 First Choice Detox in Laguna Hills, California the strength to realize they were self-destructing, allowing them to finally reach out and get the help they need.

    Rehabilitation is not just limited to bringing an individual out of addiction and achieving sobriety. It is considered complete only when an individual starts leading a normal and balanced life. Life skill therapy focuses on the various skills that helps an individual to lead a normal life. Patients often do not take care of themselves, struggle professionally and withdraw from social interaction due to the physical and emotional disturbances caused by addiction.

    Life skills therapy helps them to improve various personal, professional and social skills such as cooking healthy meals, maintaining proper hygiene, budgeting, decision making, time management, regulation of emotions and resolving the interpersonal conflicts effectively.

    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 First Choice Detox in Laguna Hills, 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

    Experiential Therapy at First Choice Detox

    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.

    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 First Choice Detox in Laguna Hills, CA establishes a firm connection between the body and mind, and teaches how to make healthy life habits that do not involve addiction.
