What are the treatment options available in Aliso Viejo?
By integrating treatment models, addiction specialists can help you to isolate and treat the root causes of your drug dependencies. While treating the symptoms of dependence is vital, you also must build coping strategies to address the issues that lead to your drug or alcohol addiction.
Private Residential Programs
Stay at the facility where you are receiving addiction treatment, you are taking part in a residential addiction treatment program. A primary benefit is the ability to receive holistic support and treatment throughout the day. There is enormous value in taking yourself away from the home environment and becoming fully engaged in the rehab program, because you are no longer vulnerable to the stressors and triggers that may have caused you to abuse substances.
By choosing to stay in a safe environment that is designed to be supportive, you have a better chance of finishing your addiction treatment program while protecting yourself against relapse and its potential pitfalls. A residential treatment program provides the best solution when you have a dual diagnosis, an intense substance dependency or co-occurring conditions. Addiction recovery is achievable if you partake in a residential rehab program, but if you expect to maintain sober living you will need to rise above the challenges that are associated with the first year of recovery. Upon completion of your residential rehab program, you must transition towards further independence as you set goals for your new sober life.

Sober Living Programs
You can develop the skills necessary to stay sober by engaging in a sober living program, which will guide you through the transitional period. This can be achieved by:
- Check-ins every day from a house manager
- Building frameworks for good recovery behavior
- Nurturing new relationships with other people who are going through similar types of experiences
Outpatient Programs
Outpatient programs are easier to adjust to so that you can continue your work/life obligations and still undergo treatments, by coming to the rehab facility weekly.
Outpatient programs will help you with:
- Education about substance misuse
- Counseling services and therapy by facilitating group settings or one-on-one sessions – The duration of an outpatient program is three months and may last longer than a year, this will depend on your personal needs.
Detox Only Programs
Taking part in a detox program is a vital step in rehab as it helps address your physical dependency by eliminating substances from your body. Symptoms of withdrawal typically begin during the detox phase because your body will need to adapt without substances it was dependent on. This process of detoxification starts the recovery process, which will continue as you face the causes of your addictive behavior so that you can avoid repeating the cycle in the early stages of recovery.
Once the substance has been removed from your system you may still experience cravings for it, including some withdrawal symptoms for for a few weeks. Rehab will help you learn coping skills that are designed so that you protect yourself from relapse.
Paying for Private Treatment
Private treatment will need to be paid self-funded or claimed through your health insurance. Many private insurance providers will contribute to some of the costs of a rehab program, which could help with a detox, rehab program and aftercare provisions.
The amount you are eligible for will depend on your provider and your agreement. We recommend that you check to see the amount you can claim on your policy before you take part in a treatment plan. Visit our Verify Your Insurance page to learn about the cover you qualify for.
If you don’t get cover from your insurance provider, you will need to pay the treatment centre directly. Many treatment centers extend payment plans to clients who find the cost to be prohibitive.
State Funded Programs
State-funded rehabilitation programs are beneficial for those who struggle with alcohol or substance dependencies and who may not be in a situation to fund private rehab. Using stipends from state, federal and Medicaid budgets, state-funded treatment programs can remove financial barriers to treatment by offering:
- Medically-assisted detox programs
- Rehab therapy and ongoing support
State-funded treatment programs are designed to help individuals with little disposable income or those with little to no health insurance. To apply you will need:

Maintaining Addiction Recovery in Aliso Viejo

When you leave, you may encounter new challenges or triggers that test your coping skills in ways you may not have anticipated.
