Anaheim, CA Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers

Anaheim Drug & Alcohol Rehab, Detox & Treatment Resources

Orange County, California is known by many names, including “the Gold Coast” and “the California Riviera,” thanks to its 42 miles of spectacular coastline. The city of Anaheim is nestled into the northwest corner of the county where it’s home to the Disney Resort, Knott’s Berry Farm and the Angel Stadium of Anaheim where the Angels have played baseball since 1966. Anaheim is also one of the best destinations in southern California for conferences and meetings due to the Anaheim Convention Center, one of the largest exhibit facilities on the West Coast.

With Anaheim’s flurry of activity between the palm tree-lined streets, sports activities and theme parks, it’s tough to imagine the scourge of prescription opioid and heroin overdoses that are afflicting the town’s residents. In 2016, the Orange County coroner reported that there is at least one accidental overdose every other day. County reports show that 1,769 residents—400 in 2016 alone—died from drug overdoses in Orange County in the past five years.

Finding Help & Recovery in Anaheim, CA

Alcohol & Drug Rehab Centers in Anaheim, California

There are a number of paths to recovery that will fit a patient’s needs, financial situation and daily responsibilities. Longer periods of rehab and care often lead to long-term sobriety, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. A 90-day treatment program is suggested for lasting success in beating addiction, and it can be completed in a variety of ways. A patient has the option of being treated in a long-term inpatient facility or an outpatient facility or a combination. Whatever length of treatment a patient prefers, or whichever option is best for a patient’s needs, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehab centers available.

Anaheim Residential Treatment Programs

Patients who would benefit from a highly structured, monitored inpatient program may do well in a residential treatment facility with 24/7 care. The length of programs varies, from 28 days to 90 days or more. Inpatient programs at residential treatment centers start with a medically monitored detox process. After detox, patients will benefit from intensive therapies, activities and counseling on nutrition and stress-relief. Patients immersed in an inpatient drug rehab temporarily reside at the facility, whether it is located nearby or in another town or state.

Anaheim Partial Hospitalization Programs

Patients who prefer spending nights in their own homes may benefit from partial hospitalization rehab programs. They will receive intensive therapy and support during the day at a local facility and return home at night. One of the most important criteria for patients in a partial hospitalization program is that they have a solid support system at home.

Anaheim Outpatient Treatment Programs

For patients with daily responsibilities, such as school, work or family responsibilities, might benefit from outpatient rehab. This is the least restrictive type of program because it lasts a few hours on the given days a patient needs to return to the facility. Patients need to keep their appointments and meetings, however, to be able to continue in the outpatient drug rehab. During this period of time, it’s up to the patient to restrict their use of drugs and alcohol while they are at home.

The process of choosing from the various types of rehabilitation for you or a loved one doesn’t have to be confusing. The program you choose will be based on needs, daily responsibilities and insurance coverage. Patients have success with inpatient, partial hospitalization and outpatient programs, as long as it’s the right fit. When you are choosing which type of drug or alcohol treatment program is best for you or someone else to take the time to consider what each program offers, in addition to its financial options, to determine the best fit.

Anaheim Drug & Alcohol Detox Centers

Detoxing is the first critical phase that can help you or a loved one break free from a substance use problem but it should not be done alone. The process of detoxing from drugs will clear your mind and body so that you can heal. But, it can often be physically painful so it’s always best to go through this process in a professional facility with experts that know how to safely and comfortably supervise your detox process. Once you’ve gone through this process, you are able to move forward with your recovery.

Severe addiction requires the monitoring of an inpatient detox facility while patients with mild to less severe drug use situations may be best served in an outpatient clinic that allows patients to go home each night after treatment to a supportive home environment. Whichever path you or someone you love chooses – inpatient or outpatient – there will be medical guidance to move you through the detox process at a detox center.
