What are the treatment options available in Watsonville
By integrating treatment approaches, professionals can assist you to isolate and treat the root causes of your drug use disorders. Learning coping strategies to treat the root causes of your addiction is just as crucial as treating the symptoms of addiction.
Private Residential Programs
Residential rehab programs allow you to stay on the same property that you are getting treatments in. It is very beneficial to have 24-hour support and treatment access.
There is enormous value in taking yourself away from the home environment and becoming fully engaged in the rehabilitation program, because you are no longer exposed to the triggers and stressors that may have caused you to use substances. Successfully completing your rehab program and avoiding relapse is far easier when you are in a secure and controlled environment.
If you struggle with co-occurring illnesses, dual diagnosis or a strong dependency, an inpatient program is better suited to meet your treatment needs. Addiction recovery is achievable if you enroll in a residential treatment program, but if you want to maintain sobriety you are going to need to rise above the challenges that are associated with the early stages of recovery. Once the inpatient program is finished you will want to be more independent and your focus will be on the things you want to do with your new life.

Detox Only Programs
Going through a drug or alcohol detox program is a vital stage in rehab as it deals with your physical dependency by eliminating substances from your system. During detox you will experience withdrawal symptoms as your body stabilizes to work independently of the substance it was dependent on.
Upon completion of the detox phase, you will move forward in your rehab journey, as you address the main causes for your dependency, to help you recognise the patterns and avoid it in the future. It is normal to undergo withdrawal and cravings for a few weeks after the substance has been eradicated from your body. Your chances of relapse can be mitigated as you learn the important skills necessary to cope with your new life.

Maintaining Addiction Recovery in Watsonville
Sustaining recovery can feel hard once you return to life outside of rehab. The rehab environment was controlled and safe, and you were given professional support. When you leave, you may encounter new challenges or triggers that test your coping skills in ways you may not have anticipated. Long term recovery is more challenging if you have a severe dependency or if you return to your new life without social support structures in place. If you don’t have aftercare support or guidance in the initial stages of recovery, relapse can occur.
