Stockton, CA Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers

There are two types of residential treatment programs. The most common is the short three- to six-week program that uses intense cognitive and behavioral therapy. Most facilities use a combination of individual counseling and group sessions. Individual therapy addresses your addictions and any underlying mental health conditions that may contribute to substance misuse, as well as strategies to cope with cravings. These are intense, highly restrictive hospitalizations, and patients attend several meetings per day during treatment. The other type of residential care is less restrictive, and in a community setting. Patients spend a minimum of six months in these programs. While in treatment, they take part in sobriety groups, attend individual therapy sessions and meet regularly with someone who oversees the patients’ progress and adjusts the program as necessary. Long-term residential treatment also includes skills training to help you ease into your home community with the tools you need to be successful in your recovery.

Some people in rehabilitation need longer to heal and find their way to sobriety. Partial hospitalization, also known as a day treatment program, helps patients transition slowly into their home communities. These facilities are less restrictive than either type of residential facility, but still offer the structure that many patients find helpful in their recovery.

The least restrictive programs are held in outpatient centers. You can enter this type of program if you have commitments to family or work that prevent you from committing to a full hospitalization or day treatment program. This is also a good choice if you are transitioning from a residential facility and need the extra support during your re-entry into the community. Here you will attend as many group and individual sessions as you need during the week until you are able to sustain sobriety on your own.

Helping men and women recovering from alcohol misuse since 1935, AA is an international fellowship that hosts meetings throughout the country and online. All gatherings are anonymous. This feature aids in the organization’s long, successful history because it helps fight the shame that many seeking recovery fear. The only requirement to attend any meeting is wanting to stop drinking alcohol. You can attend meetings on your own or as part of your alcohol rehab program.

Although they don’t have the long history of AA and NA, SMART Recovery meetings have been gaining ground over the past decade, and their methods are widely approved by addiction specialists. The four-point program focuses on self-help, developing tools to handle cravings and urges, emotion management and finding a balance between responsibility and recreation.

Those in recovery are not the only ones who suffer through addiction. Family members and other loved ones deal with a rollercoaster of emotions before, during and after recovery. You are not alone. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon are anonymous organizations similar to AA and NA that let you learn about resources, listen to others’ stories and find support.
