Residential Treatment

Everyone who is struggling with drug or alcohol abuse has a dream of a life free from drugs or alcohol. It is safe to say that no addict wants to continue the cycle of addiction. If you want to break free from the cycle of addiction, your first stop needs to be a residential treatment center. Here is additional information about why inpatient treatment centers or residential centers are so important to your recovery.

What is Residential Treatment?

In a residential treatment facility, you live at the center for several weeks or months while you receive therapy for your addiction. Many residential treatment facilities surround you with the comforts of home in a peaceful, tranquil setting where you can focus on yourself and what you need to move forward. There is no specific set time limit for residential treatment. Instead, you progress through stages of your treatment plan, and you leave when you and your treatment team feel you’re ready.

What Happens at a Residential Treatment Facility?

The first step at any treatment facility is detox. Most people who come into a residential treatment facility need to undergo detox first. Detox is the process of receiving medical support while withdrawing from alcohol or drugs. Depending on what drug you are using, it is essential for you to be medically supported during the withdrawal process. At SCA Recovery, there is a doctor on staff at all times to supervise clients who are withdrawing. We surround you with peace and comfort during the detox process.

Once you have completed detox, the next step at an inpatient treatment facility is therapy. Therapy for addiction can take several forms because no two clients are alike. For example, if you are struggling with your mental health in addition to your substance abuse disorder, you have a dual diagnosis, which means you need specific treatment.

During your therapy, SCA Recovery uses all kinds of behavioral modification therapies, such as 12-step, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, and medication, to help you work towards living a life free from substances. Our residential center in Los Angeles, California is committed to helping you reach your goals through art and music therapy, outdoor activities, individual and group therapy, and outings in the community. We want you to be excited about the new direction in your life after your stay with us.

How Do I Know if I Need Residential Treatment?

If you aren’t sure you need a residential treatment program for your addiction, here are some signs that residential treatment would be preferable for you.
 

  • If you are in danger of suffering significant withdrawal symptoms, either because of the substance you’re using, or because you’ve been addicted to drugs or alcohol for some time, it’s important to detox with medical supervision. Do not try to go through detox without help.
  • If you have previously tried an outpatient rehab program and relapsed, you need to enter an inpatient rehabilitation facility. It is often easier to return to your life with drugs and alcohol if you remain in outpatient care.
  • If you have a mental illness, such as anxiety, PTSD, depression, or bipolar disorder, or if you are concerned about your mental health, you need residential treatment so that you can get help for both your mental illness and the addiction.
  • If you are currently living in a place where withdrawal from drugs or alcohol may be difficult, or the home environment is not stable, peaceful, or optimistic about your ability to move into recovery, you need a change of scenery.
