How do you know whether or not rehab is the best step to take once medical detox concludes? Because addiction treatment is not a one-size-fits-all solution, the right option for your unique case will vary based on your personal circumstances. Whereas one individual might benefit immensely from 90 days in an inpatient rehab, another might make the decision to transition from detox directly into an outpatient program.

Once you make the decision to undergo drug or alcohol withdrawal in a medically monitored detox center, the majority of the guesswork will be removed from the remainder of the process. While in detox your clinical team and case manager will work together to devise a personalized plan for continuing care.

Individual Treatment Plans

Having access to a variety of treatment options means if one therapy or modality isn’t working, gears can be switched and alternative routes can be easily explored. Individualized treatment plans are created at the beginning of the journey, but they are consistently adjusted based on progress, personal preference, and the effectiveness of various evidence-based therapies.

Personal treatment goals also play an important role in the development of individualized plans and areas of focus. What do you hope to accomplish while you are engaged in treatment? What areas of your life are you committed to changing? What parts of your life would you like to stay the same? The bulk of this work is done in a one-on-one therapy setting, where clients are able to work directly with their assigned therapist.

How Do You Know if You’re Actually Addicted?

How can you tell if you need rehab? Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Have I attempted to quit on my own without success?

  • Has drinking or drug use been causing significant problems in my life?

  • Have I become preoccupied with drinking or drug use?

  • Am I struggling to take care of personal responsibilities and obligations?

  • Would my overall quality of life improve if I committed to sobriety?

Making change — even positive change — can be scary at first; especially when you aren’t sure what to expect from the process that lays ahead of you. The good news is that you have access to unlimited support every step of the way. Contact us to learn more about taking the first steps towards a life of fulfilling and lasting recovery.
