Drug Rehab San Leandro, CA.

The city of San Leandro is located in the state of California, and is on the eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay between Oakland and Hayward in Alameda County. The city has long since been a hub of food processing operations, as well as other corporate operations and headquarters including Maxwell House and Coca-Cola. The city has an estimated population of around 87,000 residents.

San Leandro residents deserve quality drug treatment options, and thankfully several options are available through self pay but also private health insurance may cover the cost of quality treatment partially or in full. Quality treatment options in San Leandro aren't necessarily the quickest, and are certainly more challenging for clients because they resolve much more than just the acute physical symptoms that occur when someone first stops using their drug of choice. While there are detox only facilities available, addiction is about much more than the physical compulsion that addicts experience and every aspect of addiction must be addressed if there is any hope for a lasting sobriety. After detoxing from drugs or alcohol safely, a chronic long-term addiction is going to be most effectively and efficiently addressed in a long-term inpatient and residential program. In such a program, there will be no access to drugs or alcohol which greatly reduces the risk of relapse, and the most effective format for a full recovery with no distractions and the ultimate support system.

Different Types Of Treatment in San Leandro, CA.

As you can envision, not every alcohol and drug rehab center in San Leandro is the same. In fact, each of the centers you encounter will have their own unique idea about what should constitute quality treatment.

Similarly, the protocols applied at a center will mostly depend on the particular principles the facility is founded upon. These categories, however, are not mutually exclusive. For example, you might come across religious-based substance abuse treatment facilities that also use evidence-based philosophies.

In most situations, you may find that each alcohol and drug rehab program will emphasize a single philosophy. This is how most of these centers are classified. With that being said, the most common types of drug and alcohol rehabs include:

1. Evidence-Based Programs

Evidence-based alcohol and drug treatment programs usually base their treatment on the research in substance abuse recovery. As such, they will offer care that is often based in psychology in addition to adjunctive therapies that are research and scientifically based and is founded on what has been found to work for different types of addicts.

At these programs, the recovery therapies applied often change regularly dependent upon the actual results coming out from the latest results in research and science.

2. Faith-Based Facilities

Spiritually-based alcohol and drug rehab facilities, on the other hand, put their attention on the spiritual aspects of recovery. As a result, most of them rely on the twelve step programs in combination with religious practice and ritual - such as prayers and meditation.

The underlying belief in a majority of these centers is that sobriety comes from God. In the U.S. - a mostly Christian country - most religious-based centers are Christian. But, there are other drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs dedicated to providing healing and relief for recovering addicts from other religions and faiths.

For the most case, you will find that these recovery facilities are funded by a specific religious entity - as an example, the Salvation Army has treatment programs. That said, most spiritually-based facilities also provide philosophies based on abstinence.

3. Twelve-step Based Centers

Most of these programs base their recovery protocols and options on the twelve-step philosophies in addition to the information provided by Alcoholics Anonymous and its other branches.

As a result, most of these rehabs will require that you engage in meetings, group work, and regular meetings with your sponsor. During this time, you will work on the steps that will enable you to handle your addiction from the twelve step point of view.

Some of the rehabs in San Leandro that are based on the twelve steps of addiction recovery may also involve other recovery options - such as individual psychotherapy.

4. Pharmacotherapy-Based Programs

Pharmacotherapy-based facilities look at addiction and substance use issues as conditions that should be handled in a medical setting - in much the same way you would handle other diseases like cancer.

As a result, they often write a prescription for such drugs as Suboxone and methadone to manage an addiction.

These kinds of drug and alcohol rehab programs are, however, sometimes classified as harm reducing because they might pass on your addiction from one substance to another. For example, the Suboxone or methadone may replace heroin and opoids.

However, there are meds that a proven track record of deterring active drug and alcohol abuse. For instance, Antabuse makes an alcohol abuser ill when they consume alcohol. Because of this, this type of medicine is effective at handling addiction and reducing harm.

5. Other Programs

Some addiction treatment facilities do not fit into any of the categories we have discussed above. These centers offer cures that are not founded on any evidence-based treatment methods or protocols.

Alternatively, these programs report that their way of handling addiction issues is unique to them. However, they are questionable because they might not have proof of success or any other evidence to back up the claims they make.

6. Harm-Reduction Based Facilities

These are drug and alcohol rehab programs that theorize that individuals suffering from addiction and a variety of substance use disorders are not completely capable of abstinence or that they do not want to stop using drugs and alcohol entirely.

These substance abuse treatment centers, instead, go with the belief that addicted individuals can consume less of the drugs or alcohol. Based on this belief, they argue that it is okay to enjoy a glass or so of wine or beer during dinner and will teach the patients how to do this with success. While going through this, you may learn how to keep a lid on your substance abuse problem while still allowing for some substance use.

Most harm-reduction drug and alcohol rehab facilities are found outside the reaches of conventional alcohol and drug rehab centers. A good example would be a needle exchange program.

The intention behind these programs is that not every addict is ready for or wants help. Therefore, they are intended for trying to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases such as hepatitis and HIV by providing IV drug users with clean needles free of charge. By so doing, they reduce the risk of disease transmission which arises from drug abuse, even though addicts continue using as they did prior to the intervention.
