Having a drug or alcohol addiction can take over your life. You might lose your job, relationships might get damaged, or maybe using the drug is the priority in your day-to-day. Addiction can look different for everyone, but usually involves a combination of several things that harm your life and health.
If and when you decide to get professional addiction treatment in Delray Beach at a rehab treatment center, you might be wondering what the journey to sobriety looks like – Is it long? What’s involved in addiction treatment? And how do you get started?
In this article, you’ll learn answers to those questions so that you can more easily start your own recovery journey.
How To Get Started in a Treatment Program
To get started in a substance abuse treatment program, the very first step is admitting you are addicted. This step can take some people longer than to get to than completing a treatment program itself. Once you’ve admitted you have an addiction, you’re ready to begin treatment.
Contact the Rehab Facility
Once you’ve selected a rehab facility you’d like to learn more about, contact them. It’s usually best to call them directly. Once on the call, you can let them know you’re interested in learning more about their rehab facility and potentially starting a program. This gives the staff an opportunity to tell you more about what they offer, determine if their offerings are a good fit for your needs, and for you to get answers to your questions.
Schedule an Assessment
After the initial call, a thorough assessment will be scheduled with an addiction specialist to determine which level of care is right for you. Regardless of which rehab program you participate in, it’s common for programs to provide therapies that address not only the addiction itself but also any co-occurring disorders (mental health concerns/mental health disorders).
If you decide to participate in the rehab program, the detailed assessment often includes some paperwork and a discussion of payment. At Harmony Outpatient, we accept a variety of health insurance programs that might cover all or part of your treatment plan, and this will be discussed with you in detail.
Begin Your Drug Addiction Treatment Program
Depending on availability and urgency, you might be able to begin treatment right away (within 24 hours to a few days).
At Harmony Outpatient, we offer treatment programs to fit the individual needs of each and every client. This can include detox, a general outpatient program, Intensive Outpatient Program, and Partial Hospitalizations Program.
The detox process is often the first phase of addiction treatment, in order to help your body eliminate the drugs and/or alcohol from its system. This can take anywhere from a few days to a week or slightly longer. Medication-assisted detox can help to reduce your withdrawal symptoms.
Each treatment program includes a combination of individual one-on-one therapy, group therapy, and holistic therapies.
How Many Days Do I Attend Treatment?
The number of days you attend rehab treatment will depend on the severity of your addiction. Our general outpatient program tends to involve you coming on-site for therapy a few days per week. These types of outpatient programs tend to provide the most flexibility.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program requires more time participating in treatment, often several days per week for several hours per day.
The Partial Hospitalization Program typically requires 6 to 7 days of treatment per week, and often up to 8 hours per day or more.
How Long Will My Treatment Last?
The exact amount of time you spend in a South Florida treatment program will depend on several factors. Some individuals need treatment for 30 days while others might need 90-day treatment.
Aftercare Program
The journey to recovery is lifelong. This is where an aftercare program can be tremendously helpful. An aftercare program provides you with specific things you can do after completing your recovery program to increase your chances of maintaining sobriety throughout your life. This can include support groups in your area, transitional living facilities, prescribed medications, and others.
While there are many parts to the recovery process, the above are several of the key elements to obtaining sobriety from substance abuse. Whether you are seeking recovery treatment in Delray Beach or the greater West Palm Beach area, professional help is available for you.
What are the Addiction Treatment Costs?
The exact costs associated with rehab will depend on which particular treatment program you participate in during your recovery. For many people, it is typically a combination of programs. During your initial call with our staff at Harmony Outpatient, they will be able to tell you an estimate of how much you can expect to pay for treatment. If you have health insurance, it might cover all or part of these costs.
