Tips to Seek Addiction Treatment in California

California is a place that is filled with sunshine, but there are a lot of people who struggle in the state too. With such a luxurious and fun-filled place there comes drawbacks to the lifestyle and access to alcohol and drugs. Are you struggling with addiction in California? Luckily, there are many professional options to seek recovery in the state. However, when you are trying to find California drug treatment, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. Here are some tips for seeking addiction treatment in California.

Identify Which Amenities You Need Most

Trying to recover from substance abuse disorder (SUD) can definitely be challenging, but having compassionate and skilled guidance from trained professionals can help facilitate the process for you. While many treatment centers can be admittedly spartan and may only offer the basics, others do provide more luxurious accommodations for their guests. From gourmet meals to group activities and one-on-one counseling, these things can make your stay at the rehabilitation facility much more pleasant. In turn, you may find yourself more receptive to your treatment and on your path to recovery much sooner.

That said, these features aren’t necessarily a requirement. As long as the facility does staff qualified treatment professionals to those who seek recovery, and your basic needs are met while there, a less fancy one can just as easily suffice. The standards of care will be largely similar, just as long as the facility has met its credentialing requirements. However, at a private rehabilitation clinic, you may find yourself more amenable to the recovery process thanks to its warmer and more inviting environment.

Choose the Right Location

There are a lot of rehab centers that are in busy areas. For example, there are quite a few rehabs in Venice Beach. While this makes it accessible to people in the area who don’t have a home, allowing them to simply walk in, but it’s also a drawback. Being surrounded by the chaos of Venice Beach isn’t the best for a lot of people. It is an easy place to walk out of the rehab and find some drugs on the street or order a drink at a bar. Finding a rehab in the right location where you can find some peace and quiet is very helpful for recovery. It doesn’t matter what the person is addicted to, a peaceful rehab center is better than one that is surrounded by chaos.

Specialized Treatment

When a person is addicted to a certain drug, they might want to seek specialized treatment. For example, heroin addiction leads to intense withdrawals that can be dangerous. It’s a good idea to seek treatment for heroin specifically. The same goes for alcoholism. Alcohol withdrawal can be painful and dangerous, requiring detox in a controlled environment. Whatever the addiction, it is often a good idea to seek treatment from a specialized rehab center. The same goes for sex, gambling, and other addictions. California has a lot of specialized rehabs. You should be able to find one that works for you. It’s necessary to seek addiction recovery treatment that is focused on you and your dependence.

Dual Diagnosis

Another thing that you should consider is dual diagnosis treatment. Dual diagnosis is when a person requires treatment for addiction and another mental health issue. The other mental health ailments can be post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, depression, an anxiety disorder, past trauma, schizophrenia, and more. California has a lot of mental health facilities. Dual diagnosis treatment takes into account the addiction and works to treat the underlying mental health issues. Most people who are addicted to a substance have a dual diagnosis that requires this treatment.

Age-Specific Treatment

Finally, when the person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol is young you should take them to a center for young adults. There are many addiction recovery centers that focus on treating young people. Or, on the contrary, if the person is elderly there are drug rehab centers for senior citizens as well. If the person is old or young, helping them find an age-specific rehab will help them recover. 

Whatever the personal situation, California has an addiction recovery center for every person and every addiction. It’s important to find the right place for the individual and their condition. Depending on what the person is addicted to, what their age is, and if finding a sense of peace, finding the right rehab in California is imperative to recovery.
