Navigating drug and alcohol addiction treatment for the first time can be a scary feeling. You may feel alone and overwhelmed, but seeking treatment is the first step to reaching a sober life.
Next Step Recovery uses innovative substance abuse services to find the treatment options that best fit your individual needs.
Many patients often wonder if their substance use is bad enough to need treatment. If you answer yes to any of these statements, it may be time to seek treatment:
-Hiding your substance use from others, or isolating yourself in order to use alone.
-Experiencing financial loss or property loss due to the need to fund your addiction.
-Losing family relationships and romantic relationships due to substance use.
-Trying to withdraw on your own, but quickly falling back into using once withdrawal symptoms set in.Â
-Having additional mental health and physical health emergencies caused by your addiction.Â
-Researching alcohol and drug rehab centers, but backing out at the last minute due to fear of getting sober.

When you first arrive at a treatment center, you will have to go through the initial intake process. You will likely meet with the treatment facility team to review your information and set up a treatment plan.
In this stage, you will be asked about your substance abuse history, mental health treatment or history, medical history, as well as other background information. Answering all of the questions truthfully is critical to the treatment team creating the best plan for your recovery process.
Often, depending on the severity of your drug addiction, you will likely have to go through the medical detox process before attending inpatient or outpatient treatment options.
In this stage, you will be monitored by a team of medical professionals as you move through the withdrawal process. Here, you can receive medication-assisted treatment or medication management to ease symptoms and keep you comfortable while you detox.
For those that need time away from home to recover, inpatient treatment programs are a good next step after detox. In this treatment approach, you will live in the treatment center for a specified amount of time.
The length of your stay may depend on factors like payment and insurance coverage, treatment program length, your substance use disorder and mental health history.
While you are in inpatient treatment, you will have access to individual therapy as well as group therapy. Additionally, you may be able to participate in other therapeutic activities, including art therapy, nature therapy, and music therapy.
Between residential treatment and outpatient programs, you may have the option to participate in partial hospitalization programs. These offer the same benefits as residential treatment centers, but without 24/7 monitoring.
Here, patients may live offsite in facility-approved sober living houses, and be transported to the treatment facility for full-day programming.
The best step in transitioning from inpatient rehab facilities to home living is an intensive outpatient program. Intensive outpatient addiction treatment services involve the patient coming to the treatment center for multiple hours per day, multiple days per week.
Generally, this can total anywhere from 15-40 hours of treatment time per week. However, you will be allowed to return home at the end of each day.
You will still have access to individual therapy, group therapy, and even family therapy to address coping skills and create relapse prevention plans.
You may also have access to a range of other therapies and activities including meditation therapy, outdoor therapy, and dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance abuse treatment.
Outpatient programs are a great next step for those that have completed inpatient treatment, or those that have strong sober support networks outside of treatment.
This model is more flexible than an intensive outpatient program, and may offer you various days or allow you to select specific programs you would like to attend.
Addiction treatment programs can be tricky to navigate, especially if this is your first time seeking drug rehab or outpatient treatment.Â
