Treatment

Substance Abuse

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.

Alcoholism

Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is defined by alcohol dependence. This is a state the body reaches when it experiences withdrawal symptoms in the absence of alcohol. A person who has AUD craves alcohol and continues to drink despite adverse consequences. Because withdrawing from alcohol can pose health risks, individuals with AUD should seek professional alcohol rehab in California to overcome their alcohol addiction. This process typically involves medical detox, rehabilitation, and maintenance.

Opioid Addiction

For those who are struggling with opioid use disorder, help is available at opioid rehab in California. This complex addiction can be treated through a combination of evidence-based therapies and medication assisted treatment.

Drug Addiction

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.

Dual Diagnosis

In California, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs offer comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Programs include medically assisted detox, intensive outpatient, outpatient, residential rehab, and partial hospitalization. Using an evidence-based approach, clinicians utilize therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health challenges. Additional services include 12-Step recovery, group therapy, family counseling, and relapse prevention to promote sustained recovery.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient rehab typically do not require hospitalization or intensive supervision and support. Outpatient addiction counseling and recovery education are often offered during the morning, evening, night, and weekend, allowing clients to tailor treatment to their own schedule. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are the most time-intensive and are designed for clients who are at an increased relapse risk and/or who need more robust therapeutic support.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Sober Living Homes

Sober living homes in California offers an intermediate sober environment that has less structure than inpatient rehab but more than typical home environments. This makes it a good option for those who have concerns about transitioning back to the "real world" after treatment. Residents can typically live at the halfway house as long as they want, if they are willing to follow house rules. These may include a curfew, chores, and maintaining a job.

Intervention Services

When an individual is in denial about their substance use disorder, their loved ones may organize a drug intervention in California. This effort involves gently but assertively confronting the individual about their substance use and sharing how it has affected those who care about them. A professional interventionist may also attend this gathering. Their expertise with intervention services can prove helpful in guiding the conversation to a positive result.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Commonly known as “day treatment,” a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive form of outpatient treatment where clients meet during the day and return home in the evening. PHP treatment doesn't require 24-hour care and often serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you can receive daily support for 6 to 8 hours which includes evidence-based therapies and medication management. The cost of PHP treatment typically varies but averages 90 days.

24-Hour Clinical Care

During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you’ll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.

Group Therapy

During group therapy, men and women learn to express their emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and reduces feelings of social isolation that are often associated with addiction.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy for drug addiction includes a customized treatment plan that considers your history and life circumstances. During your therapy sessions, the therapist helps you uncover underlying issues and triggers for addictive behavior that support a holistic approach to recovery.

Motivational Interviewing

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma focused therapy in California that uses bilateral stimulation, like eye movements, to help you resolve traumatic memories. This evidence based therapy is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating post traumatic stress disorder and other traumatic conditions. Following an eight phase protocol this approach helps reduce your emotional stress and fosters healing and resilience.

Family Therapy

Family therapy offers a platform for members to have an open dialogue about the challenges that addiction has placed on the family unit. Through guided sessions, therapists can help families develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together toward a common goal, they help to support their loved one's sobriety.

Life Skills

While in rehab treatment, you may work on developing various life skills to help you in long term recovery. These may include resilience, interpersonal skills, and self awareness. The focus will be on developing healthy habits for self care and relationships so you have the skills you need to manage day to day life.

Nutrition Therapy

Substances can prevent the absorption of nutrients and cause damage to your body’s systems. Nutrition therapy in California addresses the deficiencies in vitamins and minerals that are caused by substance abuse.

Creative Arts Therapy

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.

It is a wonderful place for someone suffering from the disease of alcoholism or drug abuse to go to for recovery and guidance.Detoxing is patient and comforting, allowing you to clear your mind and body with the help and comfort of staff. From my experience, the afternoon and evening staff are incredible for assisting you in clearing out your system and getting you prepared for what's required in staying sober.Groups are imperative for assisting you in understanding what compelled you to use in the first place. I say with confidence that I learned more about myself and changed for the better in those 30-50 days than I ever have during the rest of my life. It only required being open to it.Despite what others have claimed, communication between me, staff, and my family was not only not an issue but was encouraged during my time there.Of course, if one puts their effort in finding the flaws in an institution, they can come up with anything to justify thinking negatively about it and seeking perfection in it, but perfection isn't achievable anywhere. South Shores provided me with a safe place to get sober and amazing help from the staff. I simply couldn't realistically ask for a better place to acquire a path to sobriety and a healthier life, where I can be more accepting and understanding of people, places, and situations in the future than South Shores.A journey like this requires effort, but it's more than worth it and not nearly as hard as we make it out to be in our minds, and South Shores provides the most fulfilling and easy to apporach way to go about getting on the right track.Best of luck to anyone who chooses South Shores as their method to recovery, and take comfort in knowing that you're in good hands.

South Shores really helped me get my life back on track. Rehab is not recovery however this place supports recovery with fantastic counseling even if you re single or married and they get you to meetings every day which gives you the opportunity to sponsor up and start working the steps. I found that is where my recovery habit started Was at the beginning when I came here and just listened to some suggestions from people that had some sobriety great staff excellent food, small intimate setting

Hi Jer DeM, thank you for sharing a bit about your positive experience at South Shores Recovery. We're glad our program helped build a strong foundation for ongoing recovery. Our focus on counseling, daily meetings, and introducing the 12-step process aims to provide tools for lasting sobriety. We very much appreciate your kind words about our exceptional staff, cuisine, and the intimate environment. You are an inspiration, keep up the great work!

Tessie Nunn

I made the decision to change my life December 8th, 2023. On December 10, 2023, I arrived at South Shores Recovery. I spent 45 days in patient and 3 months of Virtual Outpatient. While at the facility I learned about my triggers, chemical dependency and the brain, (my past) trauma leading to my destruction behavior, coping skills, etc. I learned how I use to be, who I am, and who I want to be. South Shores laid the ground work for my journey to be the person "Age 5 Me" would be proud of- the little girl not gaded by the outside world with Big dreams. Well, at 7 months and 13 days, I am finally joyous and free, and will be Yoga certified in 3 months. I worked my 12 step program, am currently working on the 12 traditions, have three sponsees, still go to meeting daily, and have an amazing support system; including fellow residents at the program, as well as team members from South Shores. "Rock bottom is when you are done digging. If you are done digging, give yourself a chance, and don't quit before the miracle happens."

We appreciate your sharing a bit of your story Tessie! It takes a lot of courage to seek help and confront the challenges you faced. Your path to sobriety is truly inspiring, and it's amazing to see how far you've come. Your commitment to your recovery is even more inspirational - working the 12-step program, attending daily meetings, and even sponsoring others. And congratulations on pursuing your yoga certification, it is amazing to see you pursuing passions with renewed purpose! The words you share about hitting rock bottom and finding the strength to keep going are also really powerful. Thank you again for sharing and reminding those struggling that real transformation is very possible with the right support and approach!

The club no one wants to belong to is waiting for you. Let s be honest: Nobody wakes up thinking it s a good day to stop their addiction and go to rehabilitation. The fear of losing my old way of living (which wasn't productive or making me happy) kept me looking through the distorted lens of the bottle.I thought other people needed rehabilitation, but South Shore completely transformed my life in ways I never even dared to imagine. The journey began reluctantly, much like the late Amy Winehouse's famous song "Rehab." The thought of going to rehab felt like a last resort, and the stigma around it was daunting. But addiction doesn t discriminate, affecting people from every walk of life, including successful writers with master's degrees, licenses in medical sciences, and television fitness personalities like myself.When I arrived, South Shore's safe and serene environment provided the perfect backdrop for healing. The 24/7 medical support was a lifeline during detox, ensuring that I was comfortable and safe as I began to purge the toxins from my body. The detox process was supervised by compassionate professionals who made it as smooth as possible.South Shore's approach is holistic, focusing on mind, body, and spirit. The Big Book of AA, which I previously scoffed at, now serves as the cornerstone of my recovery. Through various therapies, including yoga, meditation, and surfing, I found new ways to connect with myself and the world around me. The sessions at the beach were particularly transformative, allowing me to heal in the midst of inspiring natural beauty. My only critique is that due to varying physical capabilities among participants, some of the best hikes and views from atop the cliffs were not attainable due to strenuous challenges. However, this experience taught me tolerance and acceptance.Education is a cornerstone of the program. I learned so much about the nature of addiction, why I drank, and most importantly, how to stay sober. The individualized treatment plans were tailored to my unique needs and adapted as I progressed. This personalized care was crucial in addressing the underlying issues that fueled my addiction.One of the most surprising joys was discovering a supportive community. In group therapy and 12-Step meetings, I found my tribe. The camaraderie and understanding among fellow participants were invaluable. The program's emphasis on community and peer support continues to be a cornerstone of my recovery. During my stay, I learned to achieve and maintain abstinence from substances, develop strategies to manage cravings and triggers, practice healthy coping skills, build a support network of peers, mentors, or sponsors, and engage in therapy to address the underlying issues contributing to substance use.Recovery is not just about abstaining from substances; it s about discovering a new way of life. South Shore gave me the tools to cope with cravings and prevent relapse. The skills and strategies I developed during my stay have been essential in maintaining my sobriety.The support doesn t end when you leave. South Shore's continuing care and alumni programs ensure that you remain connected and supported long after you ve left the facility. The lifelong membership in the South Shore community means that help is always available when needed.Choosing rehab was the best decision I ever made. South Shore not only helped me break free from the chains of addiction but also gave me a fresh perspective and a renewed outlook on life. If you re struggling with addiction, take that first step. It s not the end of the road; it s the beginning of a new journey.Thank you, South Shore, for giving me my life back (not to mention my husband, children, and chance at a successful career!)

Thank you Andes, for sharing this truly powerful and heartfelt review of South Shores Recovery. Your journey from reluctance to transformation is nothing short of inspirational for us all! It is clear that the holistic approach, personalized care, and supportive community at South Shores made a profound impact. Your candid description of the challenges and rewards of rehabilitation offers hope to others who may be struggling. Congratulations on reclaiming your life and family, and our whole team at South Shores deeply appreciates you bravely sharing your experience to help others!

A wonder life-changing experience. Staffed by a caring team of professionals many of which have first hand knowledge and experience with addiction and all the phases of recovery. Very strongly recommend.

We very much appreciate your recommendation James, as well as your taking a moment to leave a review and share about the compassionate staff we are proud to call our team at South Shores!

Melinda Nowicki

Souths Shores forever changed my life. It's a smaller recovery rehab which was better in my opinion. The staff are incredible and care so much. I didn't feel like I was there for insurance money like so many places can feel like. They were like a family. Groups are engaging. Therapy was very helpful. They also incorporate fun activities to enrich getting sober. My brother died while I was in the program and words can't describe the love and respect they gave me to walk thru such a heartbreak. Even though I completed the program and went home back to Oklahoma, I still am in contact with them. They helped me get my life on track with the love of helping people like myself work thru the struggle of addiction. Thank you South Shores!

Melinda, we're deeply grateful for your heartfelt review! Your words perfectly capture the essence of our mission to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for recovery. We're thrilled to have been a part of your journey and honored to have been able to support you through difficult times. Your kind words about our staff, therapy, and activities mean the world to us. We're so proud of the progress you've made and grateful that you still feel connected to our community. Thank you for inspiring us to continue providing the best possible care for our clients. You will always be part of the South Shores family!

We have a family member who was struggling, for many years, with alcohol. We called South Shores to inquire about getting help for him. They jumped right in and got the wheels turning for his recovery process.He has been clean/ sober for about 7 months now, thanks to his dedication to sobriety and the treatment he received at South Shores.If you, or a friend/ family member need help with addiction, we HIGHLY recommend South Shores Recovery.

Sucks. No respect. I was sent to my room for being disrespectful when I asked a fellow peer not to vape or smoke in the van. By a 30 yo. No one followed up on their words and I will follow up with Tricare. You can t have 20-30 yo with out life experience bullying others. I am so disappointed. Rules don t matter. And I will follow up and want $60 for my ride to John Wayne Airport when my counselor and CM said dig deep- the decision maker Christina couldn t show me a courtesy in a call and the tech Nick said that I couldn t call my airline and kicked me out of the office. Run. Do not go there.
