Drug Rehab in Orange County

Deciding to go to Drug Rehab

It is never an easy decision to go to drug rehab Costa Mesa. You may wonder about things like what will happen when you get there, what it will feel like, and what will happen once you leave the rehab center. It might be intimidating to have to tell your family and friends you need help and facing detox and going away to rehab might feel scary.

That’s okay. Checking into a drug rehab program is the best way to take care of yourself. You deserve to have good health, to feel happiness, and to feel a sense of overall mental wellness. You are an important individual who deserves the best chance at living a well-balanced and healthy life. 

A drug rehab program can not only help you detox from drugs but will also build you up into the person you want to become. In an integrated, holistic treatment program, you will learn how to make behavioral changes and alter your own mindset in ways that will benefit you, and you will learn about nutrition, exercise, stress management, and alternative ways to spend your time. You will also get to the underlying roots of your addiction through therapy and pick up new life skills that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

If you believe you may have a substance use disorder or cannot cut back or stop using drugs on your own and you are ready to make a change, it may be time to contact an Orange County addiction professional and find out what your addiction treatment is options are.

Types of Drug Rehab Treatment Options

The main types of drug rehab Orange County treatment options available to you are:

• Inpatient Rehab – inpatient rehab is a residential program in which you move into our community-oriented rehab facility full-time. You will have access to a variety of therapy options in a structured program as you live amongst peers who have similar stories to your own. We will ensure you remain safe in our sober environment as you focus on your own recovery and find the time to relax and rejuvenate yourself. In inpatient rehab, there is a focus on wellness and health, including nutritional support and diet planning. Even a 30-day stay in Costa Mesa drug rehab will greatly reduce the risk of relapsing in most patients.
• Outpatient Rehab – outpatient rehab is a good option for people who have completed an inpatient program and for those who cannot leave life’s responsibilities for a full 30 days or more. At Resurgence, we offer a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) to help people who are transitioning back to life after rehab with regimented full days of treatment as they live at home or in a sober living house. We also have an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that is adaptable and customizable, with a flexible schedule that can work around your job or school hours as you live at home or in a sober living facility.
• We also offer continued outpatient care for anybody who has completed any of our rehab programs. You will be able to access all the support and care you need, when you need it, including continued connections to medical and psychiatric care, peer support, and a sober community. With Resurgence, you will never be alone in your addiction treatment and recovery.

Benefits of Going to Drug Rehab

It is usually recommended that after detoxing every patient spend a minimum of 30 days in inpatient care, because returning directly to the same lifestyle, hanging around the same people, and being around the same stress and triggers can quickly cause many people to relapse. The benefits of inpatient rehab include:

Benefits of outpatient rehab include:

Whichever type of rehab you choose, the Resurgence Behavioral Health team is here to offer help and support in any way we can. We are here for you.

Meth Drug Rehab

Methamphetamine, also known as crystal meth, is a synthetic stimulant drug that can lead to a rapid dependency. Stopping the use of meth can lead to a “crash” that lasts for an average of one week, although for some it can be longer. Detox symptoms include dehydration, confusion, depression, tremors, insomnia, and fatigue, and medical detox is usually recommended to ensure the patient will be as comfortable as possible while being monitored for health issues like dehydration, psychosis, and suicidal ideation.

At Resurgence, we recommend a 30-day minimum stay in residential rehab after finishing your detox program, followed by outpatient care. We can customize a treatment plan that will meet your needs, goals for the future, and your budget, and through our tailored counseling, therapy, exercise, and leisure activities, you will be able to get to the underlying causes of your substance use issues, rest and heal your body, rejuvenate your spirit and get a solid grip on your future.

Heroin Drug Rehab

Heroin is a very addictive substance that is commonly abused due to the euphoric feelings it can provide. Detoxing from heroin can become dangerous and is very uncomfortable, so a medically assisted treatment (MAT) program is recommended. Your symptoms will show up within a few hours of your last use, with strong drug cravings and flu-like symptoms, and they will peak at around the three-day mark. You will feel very sick, and your cravings will become so powerful they may be impossible to resist. For this reason, FDA-approved maintenance medications, pain relievers, and medications to help you with feelings of restlessness can be prescribed. Therapy and counseling is introduced at this time as well to help with anxiety or distress.

About a week after your last heroin use your psychological cravings should have lessened, and physical symptoms will be almost completely gone, but unfortunately, the symptoms of heroin withdrawal can return for even months or even years after treatment, which is why spending time in inpatient rehab, with plenty of therapy, recovery work and planning is important, as well as attending outpatient rehab and connecting with a solid, lifelong, sober community. A good aftercare program will ensure you always have somewhere to turn when things get difficult.

Choosing Resurgence for Opioid Detox

At Resurgence, our medical opioid detox program, combined with our integrated inpatient and outpatient rehab programs can help you stay sober for the long run. We give FDA-approved medications like methadone and buprenorphine to help with drug cravings and provide a safe, sober, and welcoming setting that is helpful in keeping our patients comfortable and engaged in their treatments.

Opioid Drug Rehab

Opioid drug addiction is serious. When you use opioid drugs for a long period of time, or in large amounts, your brain chemistry changes. This causes intense withdrawal symptoms that can last for weeks, coming back months and sometimes years later without warning.

It takes a lot of hard work to change your thought patterns, behaviors, and outlook on life to be able to get past an opioid addiction. You will need to gain coping skills, recovery tools and have a plan for relapse prevention, and then stick to them when you feel like you need them. Some of the things you can work on to prepare for these physical and psychological urges include:

Recovery from opioids cannot happen in a vacuum. A strong support system is a key to dealing with those difficult periods. At Resurgence, our outpatient programs are designed to be flexible and can last for as long as you want. We will work with you to ensure your program is meeting your needs so that you can live your life but remain in contact with a consistent, supportive sober network.
