What is Addiction Rehab (Rehabilitation)?

When we refer to ‘rehab’ for addiction, it includes the psychological interventions and medical treatments required to address dependencies on substances such as opiates and illegal drugs including cocaine. Rehab treatment is most effective when it is tailored to your individual needs involving a medical detox, residential and outpatient services, as well as relapse prevention techniques.

What are the treatment options available in San Mateo

By integrating treatment models, professionals can help you to identify and treat the primary causes of your substance use disorders. It is necessary to treat the symptoms of addiction, but coping strategies need to be implemented, in order for you to deal with the problems that lead to substance dependency.

Private Residential Programs in San Mateo

If you reside within the facility where you are receiving therapy, you are taking part in a residential treatment program. A primary benefit is the ability to receive integrated support and treatment throughout the day.

By moving out of your home environment and into a treatment facility, you can protect yourself from the those stressful triggers that contributed to you developing a substance addiction.

You are far less likely to relapse when you complete your treatment program in a secure center where the environment is supportive. If you struggle with a serious substance dependency, or you suffer from a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder, a residential rehab program is best. You can take the initial steps to recovery by taking part in an inpatient rehab program, but to overcome the challenges of the early stages of addiction recovery, you need to work at it constantly. After you complete your residential treatment program your priority will be your transition to greater independence as you focus on what you want from your new sober life.

Sober Living Programs

Support and guidance are provided during a sober living program in order to control your future plans more effectively. Sober living programs often include:

Guidance daily from a house manager
Building parameters for good recovery behavior
Nurturing new friendships with other people who may be working through the same kinds of challenges

Outpatient Programs

Outpatient rehabilitation programs are typically more flexible by allowing you to have treatment at the treatment facility and maintain your career or life commitments.

Outpatient programs are best known for:

Education on drug use
Counseling and therapy such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or group sessions – Your personal needs can determine the duration of your outpatient program, which may extend from a few months to a year.

Detox Only Programs

The benefits of a medically-assisted detox are many, because you can eliminate the substance from your system safely and put an end to your physical dependence. As your body stabilizes without substances in your system, you could experience withdrawal symptoms.

Withdrawal symbolizes the beginning of the rehab recovery journey, and needs to be followed up by addressing the root causes of your dependency, so you do not repeat the same damaging pattern of behaviors. It is possible to still experience withdrawal symptoms and cravings for some time after your detox program is complete. Relapse is less of a threat if you are equipped with the vital skills required to navigate your life in recovery.

Paying for Private Treatment

Private treatment will have to be self-funded or claimed from your insurance provider. Many insurance providers will allow you to claim at least parts of your rehab treatment, including detox, rehab therapy, and any medications you may need. The amount of cover given will depend on the details of your policy as well as your provider’s terms and conditions. It is good practice to find out about the amount you can claim prior to enrolling in a rehab program. Our Verify Your Insurance page will help you to determine the amount of cover you are eligible for.

Clients will have to pay for the cost of treatment if they do not claim via their insurance policy. Many rehab providers provide payment plans to clients when costs are unaffordable.

State Funded Programs

State-funded treatment programs are designed for people who struggle with alcohol addiction or substance addictions and who may not be able to fund private treatment.

With the support provided with funds from federal and state resources including Medicaid, these programs may facilitate treatments including:

Medically-assisted drug/alcohol detox
Rehab treatment and aftercare services.

State-funded rehab programs offer support to people who reside in low income households or do not have health insurance. To qualify you will need to provide information about:

Proof of living arrangements
Proof of earnings

Maintaining Addiction Recovery in San Mateo

Leaving the comfort of residential rehab and returning home can prove challenging for people starting out in recovery. When you were in rehab the environment was controlled and you had support from professionals. When you leave, you may encounter new challenges or triggers that test your coping skills in ways you may not have anticipated.

In our experience, clients with intense dependencies and those who do not develop the necessary support structure find long term recovery more difficult when they leave rehab. If you don’t have aftercare support or guidance in the initial stages of recovery, relapse can occur.

Aftercare & Alumni Programs

For people living in San Mateo county, aftercare programs extend your rehab program once you return to your daily life. Relapse may occur in up to 60% of individuals, and due mostly to the natural events of life post-rehab, having aftercare is an integral part of your journey in recovery.

When you approach finishing your rehab program, you must consider which services will support you in your long term recovery. We will establish an aftercare package that supports you. Alumni programs are a great bonus to completing rehab and allows you community access to peers and staff members.

During support group meetings, individual members can share their stories and empower others. Many individuals in recovery attend local meetings to assist them in their recovery journey. Support groups provide them with the necessary tools tools to maintain sobriety, allowing them to be accountable for their life.
