What are the treatment options available in Martinez?
Integrated rehab treatment is usually the ideal manner in which to tackle the root causes of alcohol and drug dependencies. It is important to treat the symptoms of addiction, but coping methods need to be implemented, in order for you to work with the problems that lead to the drug or alcohol dependency.
Private Residential Programs
If you are staying on the same property that you are undergoing your rehab treatments in, you are said to be in a residential rehab program. A primary benefit is the ability to receive holistic support and treatment throughout the day.
When you leave your home and move into a treatment facility, you can remove yourself from exposure to stressors that may have influenced your decision to abuse substances or alcohol. When you reside in a safe and supportive environment you can safeguard yourself from relapse and increase the likelihood of finishing your rehab program. Clients who struggle with dual diagnosis, co-occurring disorders and severe dependencies are encouraged to take part in an inpatient treatment program.
Getting sober is achievable if you enroll in a residential rehab program, but if you wish to maintain it you are going to have to face up to the challenges that come with the first year of recovery. When you have finished your residential addiction treatment program you will want to be more independent and set life goals and new challenges.

Outpatient rehab programs are flexible because you can maintain job or family commitments, and visit the rehab facility for treatments.
Outpatient programs offer:
- Education around substance dependence
- Therapeutic support and counseling in the form of group therapy or one-to-one interventions – The duration of an outpatient treatment is customized to your situation and lasts between three months to over a year.
Detox Only Programs
By going through a medical detox you can eliminate alcohol or drugs from your system in a safe way and put an end to to physical dependence. You usually undergo withdrawal symptoms as a natural reaction to the absence of the substance in your body.
Withdrawal marks the beginning of the rehabilitation process, and should always be followed up by addressing the main reasons for your addiction, to avoid a repeat of the same negative cycle of behaviors. Once the substance has been eliminated from your system you may still experience cravings for it, including symptoms of withdrawal for for a few weeks. Relapse is less risky when you are equipped with the vital skills required to navigate your path in recovery.
Paying for Private Treatment
The cost of private rehab may be covered through your healthcare policy or paid with your own funds. Many health insurance companies will contribute to some of the costs associated with a rehab program, which would include a detox plan, rehab program and aftercare support. The amount of cover you can get will depend on your provider and your policy details.
You should determine the amount you can claim against your policy before you enroll in a rehab program. You can visit our Verify Your Insurance page – https://www.unitedrecoveryca.com/verify-your-insurance/ for more details on the cover you can claim for. If you choose not to claim against your insurance provider, you must pay for your treatment. Some rehab centers may extend payment plans to clients who find the costs unaffordable upfront.

Maintaining Addiction Recovery in Martinez
Sustaining recovery can feel a challenge once you return to life outside of rehab. You had the benefits of professional support in a controlled environment at the rehab center. Your coping skills will be put to the test when you leave rehab, as you may experience some challenges that you still need to learn to deal with.
If you had a severe dependency or if you leave rehab without the appropriate social support, you will find long term recovery to be more challenging. Relapse can occur when you don’t have aftercare to support you in your new-found sobriety.

Aftercare & Alumni Programs
Aftercare programs are an extension of rehab once you leave the rehab center. Relapse rates can be as high as 60%, and because life can be unpredictable, aftercare support is an essential lifeline to support your long-term recovery.
Once you get close to the end of your rehab program, you will discuss the therapies and counseling services most beneficial to you long-term, and a relapse prevention package will be created to help you sustain from drinking or taking drugs. Clients who complete their treatment programs will gain access to an alumni community program like ours, which gives you the chance to interact with peers and staff.
With the support from this network you will attend social events and receive encouragement and advice from other members who are in active recovery. You may also like to return the favor by supporting others.
Support Groups (Fellowship Meetings)
Support groups have always been a great resource because they integrate social structures into addiction recovery. Recovery support groups including AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and NA (Narcotics Anonymous) facilitate recovery support utilizing the 12-step model and regular meetings. During support group meetings, other members will share their stories and learn important insights from others. Friendship, empowerment and accountability for our actions are key to long-term recovery, and support groups provide many with the necessary tools to stay sober.
Support for Families & Children Affected by Addiction
Addiction negatively impacts everyone living in the family unit to different degrees. Support is critical for all members of a family, not only the person struggling with the dependency. By joining family support groups, families will learn to manage stressful situations more effectively, and be able to provide better to your family member in recovery.
Your family will benefit from support groups such as:
- Parents of Addicted Loved Ones
- SMART Recovery Family & Friends
- NAMI Family Support Groups
