Chico, CA Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers

Many treatment facilities are set up like small hospitals. There are individual patient beds or rooms, a large kitchen facility and numerous treatment and therapy rooms. In this type of setting, the residential treatment plan is set up so you can stay there full time during the course of your program. The experience is similar to taking a vacation from your everyday life, but you work hard in a structured daily schedule of various sessions and treatments. Some programs allow you to have visitors after you’ve completed a minimum number of sessions. You may also have individual, group, and family counseling prescribed to help you sort out your past, present and future.

Partial hospitalization is the next step down from a residential treatment program. In this type of rehab plan, you’re on a set daily schedule of sessions and meetings. You have access to many of the resources offered to people in inpatient programs. You must be on time and present each day of your treatment program. However, you don’t sleep at the rehab facility. You’re free to go home to your own place to rest after the day’s work is done. You can help kids with homework and help your spouse with the laundry. You can care for your dog or cat. The partial hospitalization plan is also usually a more budget-friendly choice compared to residential inpatient treatment.

Some people prefer an outpatient drug or alcohol rehab program. These people may not have the availability to put their school or work responsibilities on hold while entering an inpatient program. The good news for them and you is that it’s possible to attend an outpatient program while maintaining your academic and job performance because you can schedule treatment around these commitments. If you’ve already completed rehab, you may also choose to enroll in an outpatient program to help yourself remain on a positive course. You must meet all attendance and testing requirements to complete an outpatient recovery program, but you don’t have to disrupt your entire life to do so.

AA was formed in the 1930s to offer a place for people to share their struggles with alcohol. Membership is open to anyone with drinking issues who wants to stop using. At meetings, you may learn about the organization’s famed 12-step program of recovery and discover how to rely on your higher power. You learn how to take things one day at a time, or one moment at a time when things are at their lowest point. Closed AA meetings ensure privacy, but they’re still open to all with substance use issues.

Al-Anon and Nar-Anon are organizations that were formed to help the loved ones of people who suffer from drug or alcohol use disorders. It’s natural to want to hide your emotions when you love someone who’s making choices you don’t agree with. But you need social interaction and a place to vent about your own struggles and pain. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon give you a place to lean on in the hard times, and they celebrate the good times with you, too. Events and family gatherings are often organized to bring joy and companionship to members’ lives.
