Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
Individuals suffering from drug or alcohol addiction experience other co-occurring issues such as depression or anxiety at a rate two times higher than the general public. Unfortunately, these issues can create a feedback loop between addiction and the other psychological and emotional conditions that often make recovery both harder to achieve and more difficult to maintain. At Pacific Solstice, they are experts in dual diagnosis. Many treatment facilities are not equipped as they are to work with clients that suffer from both a mental health diagnosis and a substance abuse diagnosis. This phenomenon is known in the industry as having a “dual diagnosis”, which is actually a very broad term.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
DBT in drug and alcohol treatment centers, including Pacific Solstice, is based on the concepts of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and is considered to be a form of CBT. However, it varies from CBT in that it also incorporates Eastern mindfulness practices and a dialectical perspective to drug and alcohol treatment. Dialectical refers to integrating or balancing polar opposites in order to find the middle ground. DBT, as a formal, comprehensive treatment program, has shown to be very effective for the treatment of alcohol and drug abuse, as well as Borderline Personality Disorder. It focuses on helping addicts regulate and manage intense emotions, develop healthy interpersonal skills, and learn to tolerate stress. This therapeutic approach at Pacific Solstice is unique in its multi-faceted approach. Their drug and alcohol treatment center utilizes DBT in individual therapy sessions, group sessions, and our drug and alcohol treatment groups.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
At Pacific Solstice Treatment Center, their intakes for addiction always include Motivational Interviewing and this technique is included in all aspects of their rehab because they know that they need to flip that switch for treatment to be successful. The process and results of motivational interviewing for addicts can be magical. It prepares one for making challenging behavior changes, for example, stop abusing alcohol or drugs. Their therapists are trained in client-centered approach and they know that addicts are not inherently liars in denial and pathological in their core. They know that through listening and utilizing motivation interviewing they can understand what the addicts and alcoholics are saying, including how they got to where they are, where they see themselves in the future, and what they think about their situation.
Trauma therapy is a structured approach used by therapists to help you heal from a past traumatic event. Your therapist works with you to identify the traumatic memory and process the information so you experience emotional healing and a sense of safety and stability.
The EMDR for Addiction Program at Pacific Solstice Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center is designed specifically for their drug and alcohol abusers and addicts. Their rehab has been utilizing trained EMDR clinicians from day 1. Research shows that EMDR can quickly and efficiently change the brain’s acceptance of new beliefs and behavior patterns. This means that the old, ingrained desire to use alcohol or drugs to soothe one self is replaced with a new ability to stay sober-sometimes with much less effort than with other forms of treatment. The old, tired, and repetitive brain message screaming out for the patient to use fades back and is replaced by a new positive and strong message that makes the patient want to stay sober (through desensitizing and reprocessing). As one of the most researched psychotherapeutic treatments for trauma, EMDR has been studied among many groups of patients, including military veterans and victims of sexual assault. Most of Pacific Solstice clinicians have been utilizing EMDR in treatment centers for military veterans and victims of military sexual trauma.
Families that have a member who is suffering the effects of drug and alcohol addiction are all affected by the consequences created from this dynamic. Naturally, the visible and easily identifiable individual who is experiencing such stress as a result of their addiction becomes the entire focus of the family. Family members understandably believe that if they could just change the addict, the entire family system would be returned to normalcy. Certainly, there is much truth to this paradigm.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional “talk therapy” by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
