With any alcohol or drug rehabilitation or recovery program, there are two choices in how the treatment is provided. One is through intensive outpatient treatment where the client attends intensive sessions on a daily basis. The other is through a Los Angeles residential rehab.
Both can be very effective treatment options. However Los Angeles residential rehab programs offers some benefits that an outpatient program, no matter how effectively managed and facilitated, simply cannot provide.
Complete Removal for Problematic Environments and People
When talking to people trying to recover using outpatient programs or strictly private counseling services the biggest issues in being in the same environment they used.
This can include having to walk by the same bar, being in the same stressful work or family situation, or even being around the same group of people associated with drinking or drug use. Familiar territory or specific triggers for use will be all around the individual, something that is completely eliminated with a Los Angeles residential rehab.
In a residential rehab, the client will be in a controlled environment the entire duration of the treatment. This takes the pressure from the environmental triggers helping to prevent a relapse.
Structure and Routine
For many with an alcohol or drug addiction structure and routine has not been a part of their life, perhaps for a long time. The structure and routine of the Los Angeles residential rehab will allow them to get into a pattern of behavior they will need during their recovery.
It will also ensure they make all group sessions, individual counseling session and will even help them in learning to interact with others again with the use of alcohol and drugs. Structure is also important for the next step that may be in looking for a job and re-entering the workforce.
24/7 In-person Support
Often when a person in recovery needs support it isn’t during a time when their counselor or outpatient groups is available. While after treatment support groups such as 12 Step may provide sponsors, during treatment it can be difficult to make these types of connections.
When you are in a Los Angeles residential rehab there is always staff on hand. They can address issues and work with clients as needed. This can be comforting in itself for the clients and also make them feel valued and cared for, something that may be very different than the way they have been treated in the past.
