Choosing a Safe and Effective Substance Abuse Treatment Facility
There are many possible complications during substance abuse recovery. Choosing monitored detox at the Beck Recovery addiction treatment facility in Palm Desert, California is always a safer choice. Our Palm Desert drug rehab facility will provide caring, well-trained staff who have experience with determining the issues and problems common for those in recovery.
What is Detox?
When people talk about detox or detoxification in relation to addiction recovery, they are referring to the process of physically expelling the addictive substance from the body. In most cases there is a withdrawal period where the body, having become physically dependent upon a substance, must adjust and begin functioning in its absence. Depending upon the substance involved, this can be a physically dangerous time. The brain needs to relearn how to manage its bodily systems without the addictive substance. If any system, particularly the respiratory and cardiac systems, fail to respond properly an emergency will be the result. This is why carefully monitored detox is so important. The experienced staff at our drug detox clinic in Palm Desert, California know the warning signs for potential complications during the detoxification period.
Individually Tailored Treatment
Many factors make each individual’s journey of recovery unique to that person. Our Palm Desert addiction recovery center takes all these factors into account when designing a treatment plan for our clients. The length of time one has abused a substance, when the substance was last ingested, and the amount of substance are key considerations. Dependence upon more than one substance, pre-existing mental or physical health conditions, age, weight and sex all can play a part in the severity of dependence and the efficiency of detox.
The staff at our substance abuse treatment facility in Palm Desert also know to look out for nutritional issues, particularly the malnourishment which can result from dependence on a substance. When the addictive substance becomes the main focus of one’s life, as it always does during dependence, adequate nutrition frequently becomes less important. This can lead to deficiencies and physical health problems.
Education and Skill-building
Education is critical for building a sober and drug-free life after rehab. Learning to live without the addictive substance will require new life skills that our addiction recovery program will teach. In the past, substance abuse itself co-opted coping skills. The education process of the recovery journey means learning how to deal with disappointments again, learning how to handle pain without escape, and learning how to enjoy life again.
The recovery specialists at Beck Recovery drug rehab centers have a role to play in this process, but even more essential are peers on the recovery journey. A group of people sharing the program for both triumphs and challenges, offer valuable assistance. The bonds created during this time continue after the main work of rehab is finished in the form of support groups. Our Palm Desert addiction recovery facility has a mission to host and promote these essential support systems. Peer support groups provide ongoing help and guidance for the continuing journey of sobriety.
After Detox Treatment
An aftercare plan, tailored to the needs, hopes, and desires of the individual, is a crucial part of the treatment program at any addiction treatment center. The lifetime commitment to drug free living requires effort. Anticipating the challenges of life post-rehabilitation and being prepared for when they arise is key to successful recovery. The best time to plan for these challenges is during rehab. Maintaining the daily schedule established during recovery is very helpful. Continuing group support and involving family members and friends helps with long term recovery. Professional support is also available as individualized therapy for especially difficult times. You don’t have to do this alone. Call our drug rehab center in Palm Desert, California to get started.
