INPATIENT TREATMENT AT LAGUNA BEACH
Set against the backdrop of Laguna Beach’s natural beauty, this inpatient program integrates evidence-based practices with the restorative power of nature and holistic wellness activities, offering a committed, nuanced approach to addiction recovery. We aspire to combine clinical excellence with the tranquility of our surroundings to create a lifestyle of recovery that encourages personal growth.
What Is Inpatient Treatment?
Inpatient treatment, or residential treatment, entails living at a rehab facility while receiving full-time care and undergoing comprehensive addiction therapy. This type of treatment is immersive, providing patients with constant access to medical professionals and therapists, which facilitates a focused and supported recovery. It also provides a community of other dedicated individuals going through the same experiences.
Who Benefits From Inpatient Treatment?
Inpatient treatment is particularly effective for individuals with:
- Severe or long-term substance use disorders involving alcohol, opiates, prescription drugs, and/or other substances.
- Dual-diagnosis conditions, such as addiction coupled with co-occurring mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more.
- A chemical dependency and is in need of a medical detox to help manage withdrawal symptoms with committed methods.
- Emotional trauma from the past that often accompanies addiction.
- Chronic relapse patterns from previous recovery attempts.
The controlled clinical environment is crucial for those who need to escape from the stressors and triggers of everyday life to concentrate fully on their recovery with dedicated, compassionate support and a custom approach.
Advantages of Inpatient Treatment
Inpatient treatment offers several distinct advantages over outpatient programs, each serving as a cornerstone in the committed, controlled environment necessary for achieving triumphs in recovery:
- Structured Environment: Provides a routine that keeps patients engaged without triggers and reduces the risk of relapse during treatment. NEM includes small cohorts for a very client-centered approach, ensuring personalized care and attention.
- Constant Medical Care: Immediate access to medical care helps manage withdrawal symptoms safely and address any complications quickly.
- Intensive Therapy: More frequent and in-depth therapy sessions allow for a deeper exploration of the roots of addiction and more personalized care. This committed approach to therapy helps individuals gain clarity about their behaviors and thought patterns that go along with substance abuse.
- Peer Support: Living with others who are facing similar challenges provides mutual support and enhances the feeling of community, which is vital for emotional resilience and instilling hope of a life beyond recovery.
Evidence-Based Practices and Therapies
Inpatient treatment at NEM’s Laguna Beach facility employs a variety of evidence-based practices that are scientifically validated for effective addiction treatment. The therapeutic approaches include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Assists patients in identifying and altering negative thought patterns and behaviors related to addiction.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Aims to teach coping mechanisms for stress management, emotional regulation, relationship improvement, and personal growth.
- Family Therapy: Engages family members in the treatment process to enhance communication and resolve conflicts.
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): If needed, this first benchmark of recovery incorporates medications to help manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and maintain sobriety.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories, often used to address underlying issues contributing to addiction.
These therapies and more are integrated with regular assessments and customized treatment plans for the needs of each specific patient. They are essential practices that help in laying the foundation for sustained recovery, promoting hope and a healthier lifestyle.
