Addiction Treatment Centers Los Angeles

Our Rehabilitation Recovery Process

The process known as detoxifying is process involving enabling the body to naturally excrete all remnants rid of the drug from your body. Detoxification is a relatively safe way to manage and create environment to treat withdrawal symptoms after a patient has suddenly stopped using drugs and alcohol which their body craves.

Each patient will ultimately have a different experience during their detox and the duration of the addiction will determine its effect on your mind and body. Most drug related addictions can result in withdrawal symptoms that last months. The time it takes for detoxification to be completed is dependent on the detox method undertaken and any pre-existing medical conditions.

If patients aren’t surrounded by experts and detoxification isn’t done in a safe environment the withdrawal has the potential to be fatal. Luckily Los Angeles based treatment facilities offer a safe and secure environment in which withdrawal can be eased. This can be done be either reducing or completely eliminating a patients intake of the addictive substance. In some cases the medications used to detox patients are addictive substances themselves so this why detox can be long process. There are treatments which promote a Rapid detox practice which aims to eliminate harmful substances from your system faster than traditional detox and it’s claimed that Rapid detox less is painful than pro-longed regular detox practice.

Mental Health Treatment

It’s often the case that people who become addictive to harmful substances are sufferers of pre-existing emotional or physical pain. Substance abuse addiction is often a way in which sufferers of mental illness can temporarily alleviate psychological trauma or physical pain. Substance abuse is proven to interfere and hinder physical treatments or worsen a person’s mental illness. Psychotherapy is a form of treatment which enables a patient to express their feelings with specialist in a private and safe environment. This enables a specialist to establish an understanding of the patient’s feelings and introduce coping skills to help the patient live with trauma without the need to turn to harmful sunstances.

There are different types of psychotherapy available for Los Angeles patients. Each form of treatment has its own method of improving your mental health. Psychotherapy is treatment method often completed within a few months; however in some cases where serious trauma is involved it may take much longer. Mental health professionals across Los Angeles work with their patients to establish the best form of treatment for your needs. There are few factors which determine the best form of treatment for you, these include understanding the severity of your symptoms and any physical side effects some medications may have on you. In some case where mental illnesses are particularly severe and the patient doesn’t have the mental capacity to make decisions for themself, a doctor may need to direct suitable treatments.

In Los Angeles we get most of our medical and mental health care from primary care. Primary care is ideal setting for mental health patients to receive suicide prevention support due to the frequent contact and ongoing relationships that exist between primary care professionals and their patients. Suicide in the US is becoming an increasing problem and the treatment of suicide and other behavioral problems is the role of behavioural health providers across Los Angeles and the US. There is a strong connection between suicide and substance abuse disorders.

There are many different approaches mental health professionals can take to treat their mental health patients. A method known as Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a method which helps patients suffering from severe mental illness reimagine the way they see themselves and their world. By having a therapist evaluate the beliefs held by a patient they can underpin sources of trauma which the therapist can dissect during their treatment of the patient. Most sessions with a therapist can take anywhere between 45mins and an hour.
