Los Gatos, CA Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers

For those who would benefit from the most intensive option available, a residential treatment program is the best fit. Residential programs have great attributes for those who are about to finish detox or those who have just finished detox. Since residential programs require people to live on-site, there is constant supervision and support. Because detox and the time right afterward can be hard for people with its drastic ups and downs, having access to help 24/7 makes a big difference. As well, these programs give people the time necessary away from daily distractions to focus on their lives. The various therapy options and meetings with professionals give much-needed structure to routines. The programs typically aim to equip people with self-empowerment and tools to improve their success rates.

When transitioning back to daily life, people are bound to have new issues that they need to address. Partial hospitalization programs are ideal for those who have recently completed an inpatient program. Some partial hospitalization programs require on-site housing, whereas others allow people to live back at home. Either way, these programs continue to give people a high amount of structure and direction. The best candidates are people who have completed detox and people who have demonstrated a willingness to move forward on their journey. The constant supervision and check-ins give both those struggling with drug misuse and their doctors a way to stay on track and to remain accountable.

Outpatient programs play a big role for many people because it is what continues to give them the framework and network of support necessary when transitioning back to daily life. Returning home, for some, may also mean the same bad habits or negative influences that led them to misuse substances in the first place. It’s all the more important for people to maintain a constant schedule with their program. From individual and group therapy to family therapy, these programs tend to be all-encompassing. These programs help people move forward with the necessary tools to maintain their sobriety, and the right support if they hit any new bumps in the road.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a network of people who have a history of alcohol misuse. AA has meetings in every community, including yours. Their 12-step program has helped countless people maintain their sobriety. The program helps you come to terms with your problems, and helps you make amends with those you may have hurt. The meetings bring together people from all walks of life, and people from all stages of the program. A major component of AA is sponsorship, and you have the chance to have your own sponsor. A sponsor acts as a mentor as you move through the 12-step program, and they’re also available to help you if you feel particularly overwhelmed or on the verge of recurrence of use.

Narcotics Anonymous is a 12-step program for people with a history of narcotics misuse. NA members understand that their sobriety journey is a lifelong journey. The program, similar to AA, has a strong spiritual component. It is non-denominational, but asks people to think about the role of a higher power in their lives. In a culture where narcotics misuse is highly stigmatized, it is a relief to have a safe place to meet and discuss your issues without fear of judgement.

SMART Recovery is an excellent alternative to traditional 12-step programs. Scientific research fuels the program, and it teaches its members to be self-sufficient and self-empowered. The emphasis in the program is on teaching you techniques and tools that you can apply in any aspect of your life. These techniques and tools focus on teaching you how to look at problems analytically and methodically. This helps you tackle complex issues in a straightforward way. Many people who don’t connect with the spirituality aspect of AA and NA prefer SMART Recovery. They offer in-person and online meetings.
