What is Addiction Rehab (Rehabilitation)?
Addiction ‘rehab’ is a broad term that explains the psychotherapeutic and medical treatments that are utilized to help individuals heal their dependencies on prescription drugs or illegal drugs including heroin.
There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to treatment because it needs to be tailored to your lifestyle and may include medical detox, inpatient and outpatient support, and long-term aftercare programs.

What are the treatment options available in Yolo?
A consolidated treatment approach offers a successful way to tackle the root causes of substance and alcohol addictions. It is necessary 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 drug or alcohol dependency.
Private Residential Programs
If you reside at the facility where you are receiving your treatments, you are part of a residential addiction treatment program. Access to daily support and treatment is one of the key benefits. By moving out of your home and into a rehab facility, you will protect yourself from any potential triggers that contributed to you developing a substance addiction.
By choosing to stay in a safe environment that is designed to be supportive, you have a higher chance of successfully completing your rehab program while reducing the chance of relapse and its potential risks. Residential addiction treatment programs are considered most effective when your dependency is chronic and severe, or if you struggle with co-occurring illnesses or a dual diagnosis.
You can start the first steps to sobriety by taking part in a residential program, but to overcome the challenges of the early stages of addiction recovery, you must work at it constantly. Finishing your residential treatment program is the beginning of your newfound independence and you must focus on goal-setting for your substance-free future.

Sober Living Programs
Sober living rehab programs help you to have more stability in your life, through guidance and supportive structures. The programs comprise of:
- Sending a house manager to check in on you regularly
- Prescribing the kinds of behaviors that are acceptable in recovery
- Developing supportive and beneficial relations with others in recovery
Outpatient Programs
Outpatient rehab programs are flexible because you can carry on attending job or life obligations, and visit the rehab facility for treatments.
Outpatient programs are known for:
- Education about substance abuse
- Counseling and therapy by facilitating group support or one-on-one sessions – The minimum duration of an outpatient program is 3/4 months and continue for longer than a year, this depends on your individual needs.
Detox Only Programs
Most individuals require a medical detox to begin drug or alcohol rehab, as it deals with physical dependencies on substances by removing it from your body. Symptoms of withdrawal usually begin during detox because your body begins to stabilize without the substance it was physically dependent on.
This process of detoxification marks the beginning of the recovery journey, following which you will come to terms with and tackle the underlining causes of your addictive behavior to avoid a repeat of those same cycles. It is normal to develop withdrawal and cravings for a few weeks after the substance has been flushed from your system. Relapse is less of a problem when you are equipped with the vital skills that will help you navigate your new life in recovery.
Paying for Private Treatment
If you choose private rehab, you can pay with your own funds or request a claim through your insurance. The majority of health insurance providers typically cover at least some of your rehab program, which includes detox, therapy and counseling, medicines that are prescribed and post-rehab support. The amount you can claim is set by your provider and the details of your policy agreement.
Before taking part in a treatment program, you should always check how much cover you can make a claim against. Our Verify Your Insurance page can help you find out how much cover you can claim for.
If you don’t get cover from your insurance provider, you will need to pay the cost of treatment yourself. Many treatment facilities provide payment plans to clients who can then spread the cost over a period of time.
State Funded Programs
If you have a substance use disorder but do not have the resources to pay privately for it, you may opt for a state-funded rehab program.
These programs utilize government funds from state budgets, Medicaid and federal government to support recovery with:
- Medically supervised drug or alcohol detox
- Treatment programs and extended support
If you do not have a private healthcare policy or you do not have available funds, you may apply for a state-funded rehab program. You have to provide:
- Supporting Evidence that shows you are a resident of the US
- Proof of income
- Proof of address
- Medical details about your addiction

Maintaining Addiction Recovery in Yolo
Maintaining recovery can be a challenge once you embark on your new journey outside of rehab. You had the benefits of professional support in a controlled environment at the rehab center. When you depart rehab there will be some new challenges that you will have to learn to cope with. If you had a severe dependency or if you leave rehab without the appropriate social support, you will find long term recovery to be more challenging. Without the relevant support and aftercare to guide you in your new life, relapse is a real possibility.

Aftercare & Alumni Programs
By participating in an aftercare program you get extended rehab support when you go home. Because no one can predict what’s going to happen from one day to the next, up to 60% of clients in recovery experience relapse, making relapse prevention & aftercare an invaluable part of recovery.
Once you reach completion of your rehab program you should consider the counseling and therapies most beneficial to long-term abstinence and an aftercare program will be developed to help you. Alumni programs are one bonus to completing treatment and gives you community access to former clients and staff.
You can come to Alumno events, join meetings and get advice and motivation from others who are also in recovery as well. You might also choose to return the favor by supporting others.
Support Groups (Fellowship Meetings)
Support groups remain important to maintaining recovery as they monopolize on the importance of social connections in recovery. You can get long-term recovery support if you take part in groups like Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous and attend their 12-step meetings. You will be empowered from other people’s experiences and share your own at support group meetings. Through companionship and committing to the 12-steps, individuals in recovery will feel able to take responsibility for their actions and protect those that love them.
Support for Families & Children Affected by Addiction
Addiction impacts everyone in a family to varying degrees. While its true that the individual battling with substance misuse certainly needs support and guidance, the other family members also need counseling.
Taking part in family support groups can help you to cope better, and also empower you to provide greater support to those struggling with dependency.
Some Family and Child Support Groups include:
- SMART Recovery Family & Friends
- NAMI Family Support Groups
- Al-Anon
- Families Anonymous
- Alateen
- Nar-Anon
