West Sacramento, 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.

Alcoholics Anonymous is for those who are struggling with alcohol. Meetings are open to anyone who has any form of alcohol dependence. Meetings are typically open to just alcoholics, whether in recovery or not. Those attending share only their first name, or, if they wish, a pseudonym. What happens in AA meetings is confidential. A sponsor is usually appointed to help those in recovery through the process.

Narcotics Anonymous is for people who have a drug dependence. Meetings are open to those struggling with drug dependence as well as those in recovery. NA operates on similar principles to AA, although there is no direct link between the two groups. As with AA, members are anonymous and confidentiality is maintained; this is an important factor due to the stigma associated with drug dependence.

The families and loved ones of those struggling with addiction are often overlooked, but in fact, their lives are equally disrupted and shattered by the addictive behaviors of those they love. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon are support groups for the families of those battling alcohol and drugs. They operate along similar lines as AA and NA including using an adaptation of the 12-step program used by AA and NA. These two groups are very important in the fight against substance dependence, as they help families understand more about dependence as well as how to deal with it.
