Addiction is a disease and like any other illness, overcoming your symptoms requires comprehensive, individualized care. The level of drug rehab care you need to heal and achieve sobriety will differ from someone else’s needs. Because addiction and addiction recovery look different from person to person, your ability to achieve success in rehab requires choosing to fit your needs. At Mariana Harbor Detox, each treatment plan is individualized to address your specific treatment needs and goals. At our Elk Grove rehab program, you can expect a variety of rehab services, including:

Medically-supervised drug and alcohol detoxification services

When you begin a comprehensive drug or alcohol addiction treatment program in Elk Grove, the first step may be detox. Detoxing from substances is not often like what you see on television. The process can be challenging and unpleasant and can sometimes cause potentially dangerous side effects. However, detox is necessary to cleanse your body of any remaining toxins.

You can immerse yourself in an addiction treatment program after this is complete. Choosing a San Francisco detox center specializing in medication-assisted detox means you can expect comprehensive medical supervision throughout all stages of detox. Depending on the specific program and your unique treatment needs as you enter treatment, this may include administering medications to help make withdrawal symptoms more manageable.

It is essential to remember that detoxing independently or “self-detox” (especially from certain substances such as opioids and alcohol) can be dangerous and frequently leads to relapse. For some people, withdrawing from their substance of choice may be accompanied by mild to moderate symptoms that are effectively managed without significant support or medical assistance. 

However, the withdrawal process can bring about potentially dangerous withdrawal symptoms and complications for others. For some, intense withdrawal symptoms can quickly become unmanageable when detoxing alone.

Drug and alcohol withdrawal can lead to deadly complications when detoxing from alcohol and opioids. While the most severe medical side effects only occur in a small percentage of cases, it is crucial to have emergency assistance available to ensure your safety. 

Examples of severe withdrawal symptoms related to opioid or alcohol withdrawal include seizures, delirium tremens (DTs), and significant emotional disturbances. Acute withdrawal can also lead to heart attack, stroke, and respiratory arrest.

Residential addiction treatment

Residential treatment or inpatient addiction treatment offers the highest level of therapeutic care and, typically, the most significant opportunities for treatment success. Residential treatment is highly beneficial for individuals who have completed treatment before and experienced relapse, struggle with co-occurring mental health disorders, or have an addiction to specific substances from which detox can be dangerous.

In a residential or inpatient substance abuse treatment program, patients are required to “live” at the rehab for the duration of their treatment program. Residential programs are often best suited for those struggling with severe addictions or, as previously mentioned, those who had completed treatment before and suffered from relapse. You will have access to 24-hour emotional, medical, and nutritional support at a residential rehab near Elk Grove. Also, our Elk Grove rehab program offers alternative treatment approaches to complement and enhance your treatment experience. 

In many cases, residential or inpatient substance abuse programs have a higher success rate than other levels of care due to the programs’ residential environment. While someone is living at the treatment center and actively pursuing sobriety, opportunities for triggers or relapses found in their day-to-day environment are significantly limited. Therefore, the chances of relapse during treatment are also reduced.
