I absolutely am thankful for the staff here as I am going on 2 years of being sober I am almost done with my 18 month program and I will definitely miss seeing and talking with Ms. Yvette and Angela. I was so excited when Sasha let me know that I can volunteer to sit in the classes even after I am done. They were so amazing they have inspired me to get into becoming a drug & alcohol counselor.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.

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.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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

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.

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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

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.

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.

This place was the worst. I was recorded(cellphone) and harrassed by one of the employees who assumed I didn't have a valid license when leaving. Was threatened that the cops were being called and I couldn't return. After speaking with Mike and showing my valid license I returned to court and explained what happened. The judge agreed it went against privacy policies and my obligation to complete the program was dismissed.

This place was supposed to be designed to HELP not hender people becasuse they are having a conversation about accountability with the counselor and the counselor disagrees with your comments and then want to abuse their power this program in Lancaster is only about taking money not in helping to find solutions to our decision-making after drinking alcohol. I wanted to speak with the Director at High Road program and was basically was denied and told inaccurate information. I was told Director Sasha Petrovich would be back in two hours on June 17th at 12:37p.m. when I called within those two hours I was then told she would not be back until next Thursday June 27th and today is June 17th because I stated I wanted to make a formal complaint. They need to be professional and if clients are not allowed to participate in conversation that should be stated we can only listen not have opinions. Counselor need to understand you are dealing with clients THAT comes from all different walks of life and working in the field for over 20 years they should practice communication skills.

While attending The High Road I had to change my classes from Mon. night to Thurs. night. That change included changing counselors. Somehow throughout my program my Alcohol Education classes were not scheduled, ever. It wasn't caught until the conclusion of my groups when I should have been going into re-entry. I then had to wait for a group of AEs to open up and do them separately rather than during the normal 18 months, spaced two weeks apart and go to additional face to face meetings in between, an additional 6 face to faces. The scheduling mishap by the administrators of the course cost me an additional 12 weeks of the program as well as an additional 6 face to face meetings.I highly recommend going somewhere else if you can.

The High Road Program is sorry to learn that there was some disappointment with our program reflected by your comments and 1 star rating. I have reviewed your file, which showed program completion in September of 2017. The file did show there was an attempt to schedule Education in 2015, and that first session attended was in December of 2016. In order for us to better serve our clientele we would appreciate it if you would contact either the Director at that location or our corporate offices during normal business hours. This would allow us to address your concerns further. Again, Congratulations on your completion. I look forward to speaking with you.

Underwent a fairly major surgery Thursday 4-19, so I was forced to reschedule my weekly class to accomadate my surgery date, paid the $20 to reschedule, walked all the way from ROSAMOND (10miles) to arrive Monday for their MANDATORY make up class at 6:58 pm. Only to have the woman shut the door in my face and slide the blinds down to avoid conversation with me. I've got doctors notes for bed rest for 2 weeks and that's how you choose to do business? I paid 25 to attend that class and another 20 to reschedule it. I even spoke to the woman earlier that day to confirm my class. That's not honest business. Close your blinds and start laughing? That walk hurt more than you know with a rod and pins in my shoulder 4 days after surgery. I will be contacting corporate. My weekly class starts at 7:30pm. How do you attend a class at that time is you close your doors before even 7:00pm ?! Making cheap money off people that are forced to attend. That's a horrible way to do business ladies. After all of the sexual jokes y'all were making towards me when I was enrolling I thought I was in a laid back environment. Now I feel a little more uncomfortable in your location. The courts make our lives hard enough, why treat us like second class citizens? We are your only customers. It's mandatory. No need to be rude and unprofessional.

The High Road Program is sorry to hear of your disappointment with our staff, fee schedule and attendance rules. I have reviewed your file and spoken with the Director (Mike). He will be contacting you today. If you then feel your situation is still not resolved, please feel free to contact me (Debbie Pagliuso) at the corporate offices, during normal business hours.
