What is Addiction Rehab (Rehabilitation)?

What are the treatment options available in Calexico?
Identifying and healing the root causes behind your substance or alcohol use disorder can be achieved through the use of an holistic treatment program. Utilizing coping strategies to treat the main causes of your substance dependency is just as crucial as treating the symptoms of addiction.
Private Residential Programs
When you stay within the property where you are receiving addiction treatment, you are taking part in a residential addiction treatment program. Its main benefit is that you can receive holistic treatment and support all through the day. There is notable value in removing yourself from the home environment and becoming fully focused in the rehab program, because you are no longer sensitive to the stressors and triggers that may cause you to use drugs.
Finishing your rehab program and avoiding relapse is far easier if you stay in a protective and supportive environment. Patients who have dual diagnosis, co-occurring illnesses or severe substance dependencies are recommended to take part in an inpatient addiction treatment program.
You can start the first steps to a sober life by taking part in a residential program, however to get through the difficulty of the early stages of addiction recovery, you must work at it constantly. When your inpatient program is complete you will learn how to be more independent and your focus will be on what you would like from your new life.
Do You Need Help?
We can help you recover.
Sober Living Programs
Sober living programs are designed with the required guidance to help people in recovery get what they want from their new life without substance dependence. They help you through:
- A house manager to check in on you daily
- Setting the boundaries for acceptable behavior in recovery
- Getting guidance and companionship from other people in recovery who share similar difficulties
Outpatient Programs
By engaging in an outpatient program you have a lot more flexibility, because you can visit the rehab center for treatment weekly and continue attending important work or other commitments.
Outpatient programs assist you with:
- Drug abuse education
- Counseling and therapy which includes individual or group therapy – Your personal needs often determine the length of your outpatient program, which could extend from three months to more than year.
Detox Only Programs
The initial phase of any rehab program is a detox, which removes all traces of substances from your body and deals with your dependency on it. During detox you will develop withdrawal symptoms as your body starts to work without the substance it was dependent on.
This is only the start of your rehabilitation process, and the next steps are to confront and address the underlining problems that lead to your addiction, so that the pattern does not continue. Many substances drive withdrawal and cravings for some time after they have been cleared from your body. Relapse is less risky if you are equipped with the coping skills necessary to navigate your journey in recovery.
Paying for Private Treatment
Private rehab must be to be paid out of pocket or claimed through your insurance policy. Most insurance providers will contribute to at least part of the costs associated with drug and alcohol rehab, such as a medically-managed detox, rehab therapy and medical supplies, as well as post-treatment support. The amount covered for your treatment will be unique based on your policy and provider.
We recommend that you confirm the amount of cover you can claim before you take part in a program. Go to our Verify Your Insurance page to find out about the cover you qualify for.
Clients are liable for the cost of rehab if they do not claim from their insurance policy. Some treatment facilities will provide payment plans to those who can’t pay the whole cost of rehab.
State Funded Programs
State-funded rehab programs are designed for individuals who are battling with alcohol or substance addictions and who may not be in a situation to fund private rehab.
These programs make use of funding from Medicaid and state/federal budgets to facilitate recovery through:
- Medically-assisted detox programs
- Addiction counseling and ongoing support
People lacking private health cover or live in households with low combined income may enroll for a state-funded rehab program. In order to begin the process, you will need to submit:
