What are the treatment options available in Bernal Heights?

Integrated treatment is typically the best manner in which to tackle the primary causes of alcohol and drug use disorders. It is vital to treat the symptoms of addiction, but coping strategies need to be learnt, in order for you to deal with the problems that lead to the substance dependency.

Private Residential Programs

A residential rehab program requires you to live at the treatment center and receive all rehab treatment within the property. It is unquestionably beneficial to have 24/7 support and treatment access.

By moving out of your comfort zone and into a treatment facility, you will protect yourself from the those obvious triggers that culminated in you developing a substance addiction. When the environment around you is supportive, relapse is far less likely and you are far more likely to complete your treatment. If you struggle with co-occurring disorders, dual diagnosis or an intense dependency on drugs or alcohol, a residential program is best suited to meet your rehabilitation needs. A residential treatment program will assist you with getting sober, but maintaining sobriety will require persistent effort as the early stages of recovery are usually difficult. After your residential program, you need to consider what you want from your new life, as you focus on becoming more independent.

Sober Living Programs

Sober living rehab programs are designed to enable you to have more control over your life, through guidance and a support structure. Sober living programs feature:

  1. A house manager checking in on you every day
  2. Establishing boundaries for acceptable behavior in recovery
  3. Receiving support and companionship from other individuals who have similar challenges

Detox Only Programs

A detox program is the first step in rehab and is required to break your physical dependency on a drug by removing it from your body. As your body stabilizes without substances in your body, you may experience withdrawal symptoms.

This process of detoxification starts the recovery journey, which is ongoing as you come to terms with the root causes of your dependency in order to avoid repeating the cycle in the future. You may develop some cravings and withdrawal symptoms for an extended period after your detox program has completed. Your odds of relapse are limited as you learn the necessary skills necessary for long-term success.

Outpatient Programs

Outpatient addiction treatment programs are typically more flexible and allow you to have therapy at the treatment facility and continue important job or family obligations.

Outpatient programs feature:

  1. Education on drug use
  2. Counseling and therapeutic interventions including individual or group sessions – Your personal needs usually determine the course of your outpatient program, which may extend from three months to more than year.

Paying for Private Treatment

Private rehab will have to be paid with your own funds or claimed through your insurance policy. The good news is that most health insurance providers usually cover at least parts of your rehab program, including detox, rehabilitation, medicines and relapse support. The amount you are eligible for will be set by your provider and the details of your policy.

We recommend that you confirm how much you can claim prior to enrolling in rehab. Check out our Verify Your Insurance page to learn about the cover you qualify for. If you do not make a claim from your policy you must pay the center directly for your rehab treatment. Some treatment centers will provide payment plans to those who can’t afford to pay the full cost of rehab.

State Funded Programs

If you want to recover from your substance or alcohol dependency but cannot afford private rehab, you may be a candidate for a state-funded rehabilitation program. Using funds from a combination of state, federal and Medicaid budgets, these types of programs remove hurdles to rehab by providing:

  1. Programs for a safe detox (medically-managed if required.
  2. Addiction counseling, therapy and aftercare support services

If you would like to take part in a state-funded rehabilitation program you need to submit proof that you reside in a low income household or do not have a private healthcare policy:

  1. Proof of living arrangements
  2. Proof of earnings
  3. Your medical history and details regarding your addiction issues
  4. Proof that you can legally live in the US

Maintaining Addiction Recovery in Bernal Heights

Leaving treatment and returning home can present challenges for people starting out in recovery. You had the benefits of professional support in a controlled environment at the rehab center. Once you leave rehab there may be new triggers that put your coping skills to the test. Long term sobriety is more difficult to maintain when you have had a severe dependency and do not have social support when you leave rehab. Relapse can occur when you don’t have aftercare to support you in your new-found sobriety.
