If you don t want to relapse or have the person you love relapse on drugs DO NOT GO TO THIS REHAB. I came here to get better and all I experienced is abunch of women who power trip and abuse their power. Firstly if you get any money send to you or general assistance ssi or anything they take 85% of it. That is straight greed at its finest. I tried to care take their dying garden and instead of allowing me do something that soothes my soul they prevented me from doing that, they prevented me from making myself tea to help my body. I also was asked by girls coming down on heavy medication to help them regularly because I know plants and they refused.I tried giving them another chance after they kicked me out on the streets of San Jose in the middle of the night, cuz the director and supervisor apologized since they found out I was not lying about a situation where a women threatened to stab me and instead of actually making it right they were meaner to me than before. So mean on purpose that I chose to leave so it wasn t on them legally. I would NEVER send anyone here and a lot of women in the program want this place shut down. They are detoxing women without nurses on staff which is illegal as well as made me sign a contract saying I basically couldn t tell any other women about what happened to me cuz they tried to cover it up. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this hell hole.

Personally I had an awful experience. It resulted in me being left on the sidewalk in front of the house with no way to call anyone and nowhere to go in a town 3 hours from home. My phone was dead and I wasn't allowed to charge it until a couple hours after I d been left on the sidewalk in front of the house to fend for myself. With no money left, and nobody to call for help anywhere nearby I walked to the quick stop and asked a stranger for help. Thankfully he bought me a train ticket home and helped me pick up my years worth of belongings I d brought with me to use while I d be in rehab here for the next 12-18 months if all had gone as promised by my intake specialist. In no way was the program I signed up for the program I entered. All of the things I was told could and would happen in fact were not available like described. The description and examples of family reunification I was given while inquiring about the program were not accurate once I spoke directly to the people who run this house. The information you receive from your intake specialist doesn t match up to the different rules for each house. I was so disappointed to learn the restrictions were directly going to affect my ability to stay here. I was asked to sign over any right to hold teen challenge liableFor mine or my kids lives if for any reason we were wronged, or hurt, or anything that may happen to us while in the program Teen Challenge couldn t be held responsible because I d be signing a contract saying I gave up That right. As you can imagine I wouldn t sign that contract! They are absolutely not a good example of what a Christian is or is about. They treated me very poorly from the moment I advocated for myself about the things I d been told would be happening as simple as a phone call I was told I d be ableTo make to my fianc who was in the men s program waiting to hear from me that I d made it here safely was denied. I was told to pack my things before they d give me my phone to make that call which they returned to me not charged to even make a call for help once I was put on the sidewalk.

On February 5th, I attended the Teen Challenge graduation event. Participants of the program shared their before and after stories about how they recovered from addiction and crime, which often led to homelessness or time in jail. This caused several of the participants to lose their children. With the help of Teen Challenge, they were able to regain custody and repair their relationships with their families. I do not work for Teen Challenge. I am simply a San Jose resident who wants to help our neighbors who suffer with addiction, crime, and homelessness. Teen Challenge is successfully doing this. I encourage others to support Teen Challenge.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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. Their program is divided into 4 phases. The times of completion of each phase may vary depending upon the patient's overall progress. They highly recommend that each client completes an additional 3-6 months internship.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

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

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Postpartum Program

The postpartum period is a sensitive time, especially for women in addiction recovery. Rehabs with specialized programs for new mothers will offer compassionate, personalized care to meet each client's needs as they transition from pregnancy to this season of life. Care teams may include obstetricians, pediatricians, and social workers working collaboratively to give women, children, and families a healthy future.

Program For Women

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

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.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
