Welcome to Corona, CA! | Caring Hands Rehab

Detoxification, or “detox” as it is often called, is a phase in the recovery process that occurs early on and plays an important role in the overall treatment. During this phase, you will eliminate substances from your body and the toxic influences they have upon you. Patients’ experiences during this phase of treatment can vary tremendously based on a number of factors, such as the type of substance abused and how often the substance was used. But you may suffer withdrawal symptoms that can be unpleasant or even dangerous. However, when detoxification is performed in a medically supervised program, treatment is provided to mitigate both the discomfort and the dangers that can be associated with withdrawal.

After detoxification is complete, next comes substance abuse therapy. Patients participate in a combination of individual and group therapy sessions to help them identify and correct underlying issues that have contributed to their substance abuse. Treatment also includes education to help patients recognize potentially risky situations that could trigger a relapse, and it will help them develop the skills to prevent relapses and sustain sobriety.

Near the end of a drug rehabilitation program, members of the facility work with patients to create an aftercare plan to ensure continued sobriety. This plan may include a combination of activities, such as support groups and therapy as well as living arrangements in a sober-living facility if they are deemed necessary.
