Inpatient

Residential Inpatient Treatment provides long-term care and recovery in a safe setting. You will stay at a Residential drug rehab for the entirety of your treatment which generally lasts around 90 days. While inpatient treatment is a longer commitment and typically more expensive form of of treatment, it is by far the best type of rehab to attend and will offer you the highest chances of getting clean and staying sober. An inpatient drug rehab has an average cost of around $40,000. Cost can vary depending on length of stay, quality of care, and location.

Outpatient

Outpatient treatment is unique because it allows you to attend therapy groups or treatment counseling during the day and then return home once completed. This can be beneficial if you have certain aspects of your life you must attend to while seeking help for alcoholism or drug addiction. While the freedom of outpatient treatment is appealing to many individuals, it also can be difficult to dedicate the focus that is required to overcome addiction. A good support group of friends or family around you that will keep you in line when not in therapy can greatly increase the success of this type of treatment. Outpatient treatment can cost around $3,000.00 on average.

Detox

First off, detox is not rehab. Many people think detox is the same as treatment, but this not true. Going to a detox is the initial step most people do before going into rehab. When coming off drugs or alcohol, most people experience withdrawal symptoms that are extremely uncomfortable or dangerous. Going to detox helps you get through these withdrawals safely, while minimizing the effects that generally occur. Detox can last anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks depending on what substances you were using. The cost will vary depending on how long you are in detox and whether it was a medical detox or drug-free.

Free/Low Cost

Financial Concerns are one of the main reasons people do not enter an alcohol and drug rehab. Many people think there is no way they can afford effective treatment because they are unable to pay for it. However, there are rehabs that will accept medicaid or offer payment assistance to help you with treatment costs. You may also look for treatment facilities that offer a sliding scale fee that adjust the cost of rehab based on your income. While these options may not be the number one choice for many, they are still more helpful than doing nothing. Getting help is always the best choice.

Counseling

Counseling or therapy is usually part of any treatment program you attend. However, many places offer counseling or therapy outside of treatment as a way to help you with any problems that can occur in everyday life that could cause you to relapse. They are offered in multiple formats such as group or individual therapy as well as family counseling. Counseling and therapy are an excellent form of aftercare planning as well.

12-Step

12-Step meetings are support groups and can be helpful for many people as a supplement to treatment. 12-step follows the specific guidelines that were outlined and originated from Alcoholics Anonymous. For some people, this is the only type of treatment they receive and for a few, it is successful. 12-Step works much better as a continued aftercare plan once you have completed treatment.

Aftercare

Most people don't even consider what to do once they complete an alcohol and drug rehab program. Setting up proper aftercare planning and learning relapse prevention techniques is important to maintaining a healthy and drug-free lifestyle. Many treatment centers will offer some type of aftercare plan for when you leave, but there are places that specialize in aftercare and relapse prevention if you need additional assistance. Aftercare can also include transitional or halfway housing if you need a place to live after you finish drug and alcohol treatment.

Common Questions About Treatment

Can I Go To Rehab And Still Work?

Choosing to go to treatment to handle your substance use disorder is difficult. This is especially true if you suspect that you might lose your job as you seek help for your addiction.

Luckily, there are protections in place that will make sure that your job is still there when you decide to enroll for addiction rehabilitation and treatment in El Cajon. You might also discover that it is in your best interests to commit to rehab - and it could help you improve your career.

After you conquer your substance use disorder, you will have higher chances of keeping your job as well as learning some skills that could help you get promoted in the future. You can also enroll for outpatient treatment - which will allow you to get help with your addiction in the mornings or evenings and keep on working when you are not in the rehab center.

Does Inpatient Treatment Give Me The Best Chance For Success?

Most facilities will measure their rates of success on metrics such as the completion of the treatment program, rates of sobriety following rehabilitation, internal studies, and client interviews.

Many studies have consistently shown that inpatient treatment might provide higher rates of success than outpatient rehabilitation. This is because of the fact that these El Cajon residential programs have a tendency to be more all-inclusive than outpatient programs.

Many factors go into determining the efficacy of any given program. However, the general consensus is that inpatient rehab can give you the best chances of long-term recovery.

How Do I Avoid Relapsing?

Having a substance abuse problem and getting help for it puts you in a position where relapse is possible. To this end, it may be very challenging for you to maintain your sobriety after treatment. There is always a possibility that you might relapse even after undergoing the most rigorous addiction recovery program.

However, there are some things that you can do to ensure that you do not relapse after attending a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. Some of these relapse prevention tips include:

  • Attend therapy and counseling appointments
  • Avoiding people who continue using drugs
  • Check into sober living homes
  • Attend additional addiction rehabilitation programs
  • Have a proper and well-thought out relapse prevention plan
  • Learn to develop the accountability required to keep up with your sobriety and recovery
