Long-Term Rehab

Everyone needs a chance for recovery. Here at Design for Change Recovery, we offer safe and reliable long-term recovery and addiction treatment that works.

We understand the level of care that one needs for all steps involved in recovery and plan to foster programs that achieve the desired outcome and much more. Long term addiction treatment requires much commitment both at a psychological and financial level. Long term treatment might sound like a lot to work with at first. However, with our doctors and counselors’ help, we will help you find the best way to go about it to ensure lasting results.

The National Institute on Drug abuse recommends at least a 90 days treatment period or three months for significant recovery. 

Choosing a Long-Term Recovery Program

Several factors go into determining the type of care we offer for addiction recovery. With three to six months options available for long-term recovery, we help patients find the best programs to improve their conditions. However, a patient needs to understand what needs to consider during this process.

The Adversity of the Issue

One does not have to reach a point of no return before opting for long-term addiction treatment. Anyone can choose to take this option. Some drugs and substance abuse will demand that you seek extended care as soon as you notice that you have an addiction.

Such drugs include the following:

• Heroin
• Cocaine
• Meth
• Alcohol
• Oxycontin
• Vicodin

The longer you spend time with our experienced counselors and physicians, the better position you will be in to deal with the issue.

Availability of Resources

There are times when resources are not suitable for short term treatment, especially for recovering addicts that keep on relapsing. When there is room for extensive care that can go for about four to six months, we often recommend that such patients sign up. Long term recovery resources include both western and eastern treatment methods. Extended addiction treatment programs will always run through the patient and to the community affected.

Geographical Considerations

Different recovering addicts have different relationships with their community environment. For some, being close to home would be the most suitable approach we take in long term treatment. However, others would have better chances of proper recovery if we recommended an affordable rehab center away from home. This option is often the case for our patients who do not have adequate community support. It means they are better off recovering away from all the things that could trigger their addiction until they are strong enough to face the world.

Financial Implications

When it comes to finances, we often ask the patient or their loved ones to check that their medical insurance covers mental health issues. Given that long-term recovery programs are quite extensive, there could be strained financial resources in the long run if one is not prepared. To avoid this, we work with the family’s patient or any other caregiver to help develop the best model to balance financial responsibilities.

Aside from these four, the family needs to ensure that they are comfortable with the long-term care facility they choose.

Seeking Long-Term Recovery Care

We consider Lancaster, California, to be our home within the state. We strive to offer the best long-term addiction treatment possible to the community. There have been cases where patients have had relapse cases after short term treatments, making the entire program frustrating. If you are looking for the best-extended care treatment facility, here are some of the questions you should ask:

• How experienced are the staff members when it comes to treating relapsing addiction cases?
• Is the facility open to both clinical and holistic treatment methods?
• Are there care groups and other supporting programs within the facility that could help improve the situation?
• How does the treatment center relate to the addict’s family members and friends?
• Does the facility offer dual diagnosis treatment if one is dealing with more than one addiction?
• How good are the staff members when it comes to life skills?
• What will be your after-treatment options past the admission period?

Long-term treatments should cover more than the direct addiction issue. Factors such as relationships, employment, health, and legal problems will always follow an addict. We seek to equip our recovering patients with wholesome skills to get back on track and finally fit for the community.

Why Should One Opt for Long-Term Addiction Treatment?

One of the many questions we often receive when we recommend long term treatment options is why a patient should consider it.

Seeking long term treatment is the safest way to ensure that a relapse does not occur. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, at least 40% to 60% of recovering addicts relapse after treatment. The same number as people recovering from long term ailments such as diabetes and heart diseases. It is an alarming percentage, and that is why we offer long term treatment options to help curb it.

Extended treatments involve aftercare support, ensuring that recovering addicts stay connected to the people who love them and honestly care. We also incorporate skills learning to keep the patient-focused and give them something to work with after the official time lapses.

What Programs are Used In Long-Term Recovery?

Long term treatment involves the following:

• 12-Step Meetings
• Group Counseling
• Individual Counseling
• Sober Living Homes
• Rehab Alumni Options

Our programs incorporate all these depending on the individual to ensure that they have every available chance of recovery. We also seek to involve family members in family care programs that help them deal with the situation healthily and set the right boundaries wherever the patient is concerned.

We will not always know what the future holds, but we can equip people struggling with substance abuse to have the right to choose how they want to lead their lives.

Long-term treatment is beneficial to the recovering individual and a great option to help the community rise from drug and substance abuse challenges. Here at Design for Change Recovery, we believe that we should do everything that we can to make this possible successfully.
