Santa Barbara

Individuals currently dependent on a substance may need to undergo detoxification, or detox, under the supervision of a medical professional. As a common first step to confronting a substance use disorder, detox involves managing potential withdrawal symptoms as your body rids itself of drugs and other substances.

Withdrawal from large doses of drugs or alcohol can sometimes cause more severe symptoms, like seizures, delirium, or hallucinations. Our caring staff will guide you through the process and ensure your needs will be met.

At our Santa Barbara drug rehab center, staff are available 24/7 for medical and social detox support. Our clinical team may oversee steps like prescribing medications or suggesting over-the-counter aids to ease uncomfortable symptoms.

After detoxification, some clients may benefit from transitioning to residential drug rehab, also called inpatient drug rehab. In this setting, clients are cared for 24/7 by medical professionals. Our staff manages possible detox symptoms and cravings. Likewise, your housing, meals, and other necessities are taken care of so you can focus on achieving a drug-free life.

Your days will be highly structured and designed to help you learn strategies for clean living. You might attend individual and group therapy, take several doses of medication throughout the day, and meet with social workers.

Partial hospitalization at our Santa Barbara drug rehab center is a step down from inpatient care, which provides round-the-clock monitoring and treatment. 

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) consists of highly structured days at one of our facilities. You might interact with various healthcare workers, including doctors who oversee comprehensive medical treatments. Counselors and psychiatrists might enter the picture if you have a co-existing mental health condition.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are similar to PHPs because clients spend several hours daily in a drug rehab setting. Those in an IOP typically spend up to 10 hours per week meeting with medical professionals and learning strategies to help stave off a possible relapse. Counseling sessions, support groups, family therapy, education classes, and yoga therapy are commonly employed during IOPs.

A traditional outpatient setting offers greater flexibility for clients relative to IOPs and PHPs. Those who engage in traditional or regular outpatient can often work, care for family members, and fulfill other life obligations. In fact, traditional outpatient treatment is sometimes the first care level in which clients may start to become self-reliant after confronting the worst of their addiction.

After spending time at a Santa Barbara drug rehab center, you may have gained various skills and knowledge about your addiction and how to start living a rich, fulfilling life. Still, recovery from addiction is a lifelong process. You will likely find yourself in situations that make you want to start using substances again, as life can be unpredictable and stressful.

Our facilities’ aftercare planning can help you understand what you may need after you leave our full-time Santa Barbara addiction treatment center and fully immerse yourself in your new (or renewed) life. 

We might advise you to continue individual or group therapy once per week or less frequently. If you still require medications to keep yourself drug-free, we can help set up your prescriptions and establish dosages and other crucial routines. Continuing therapy might also include secondary care strategies like music therapy, yoga, and mindfulness exercises.
