Glendale, CA Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers

In a residential treatment program, the patient will stay in the facility 24 hours a day, and he or she will have access to healthcare professionals during that time. A residential treatment program typically lasts somewhere between 30 and 90 days, though there are some programs that are shorter or longer.

In a partial hospitalization program (PHP), the patient will be in the facility for 6 to 8 hours during the day, and he or she will be permitted to go home in the evenings, assuming he or she has access to a safe and stable environment.

In an outpatient treatment program, the patient will be at the facility for 10 to 20 hours during the week. This may be every day in the mornings or 2 to 3 days for a longer period, but patients in this program are still able to work.

Alcoholics Anonymous is the oldest and one of the most well-known recovery groups in the world. AA brings support and a path to recovery for those struggling with addiction to alcohol. Members of AA work through a 12-step program that encourages progressive release from addiction and surrender to a higher power. The only requirement for joining an AA group is a desire to stop drinking. Here are some local Glendale AA meetings:

Shakers Meeting Hall

Similar to AA, Narcotics Anonymous utilizes a 12-step program to help members break free from addiction to narcotics and other drugs. NA also encourages community involvement and pairs new members with more experienced ones, or “sponsors”, to help them stay accountable and see success throughout the program. Additionally, NA members often take part in community service activities to give back to their local communities. Below are some Glendale area NA groups you might consider.

SMART Recovery is a newer recovery program but has gained plenty of popularity in recent years. Rather than relying on a higher power – a practice that some people may be uncomfortable with – SMART Recovery teaches self-management practices that give members the ability to move beyond addiction. SMART Recovery is intended for individuals with addictions of all kinds, from drugs and alcohol to gambling and sex.

Those suffering from addiction and substance abuse issues aren’t the only ones impacted by the issue. Parents, spouses, siblings and children also suffer when someone they love goes through a substance addiction. That’s where programs like Al-Anon and Nar-Anon come in. Based on the 12-step recovery plan in AA and NA, Al-Anon and Nar-Anon take family members through a similar curriculum to learn about coping with their loved one’s addiction and learning how to live life after addiction. In Glendale, there are a variety of Al- and Nar-Anon meetings, including the following:

Al-Anon
Glendale Windsor Club
123 W Windsor Rd
Glendale, CA 91204

Nar-Anon
