Inpatient Treatment Facilities
Inpatient rehab is also called residential rehab because you live at the rehab facility. Inpatient rehab can be effective for people with severe problems with drugs or alcohol, and especially people who are dealing with other mental health conditions. Living at the rehab program facility helps you avoid the temptations and influences in your daily life that trigger your substance use. Living in a healthy environment supports your recovery.
Outpatient Treatment Facilities
Outpatient rehab involves daily treatment, such as therapy, counseling, or group sessions, at a clinic or facility. People who choose outpatient treatment can continue to live at home as they recover, allowing them to take care of children or family members, keep up with their jobs, and stay on track in school. Outpatient care typically costs less than inpatient rehab, but the level of support may be less intensive.
Substance Use Disorder Counseling
Like other counselors and psychologists, substance use disorder counselors work closely with individuals and groups to identify problem behaviors and offer solutions. Substance use disorder counselors, however, focus on the world of addiction and its far-reaching effects, with the aim of assisting patients in finding the right path to recovery, and staying on that path for as long as possible.
Recovery Meetings
Meetings, simply put, are peer support groups whose members gather on a regular basis to help one another stay clean and sober.
Sober Living Facilities
Sober living homes are group homes that are free of alcohol and drugs for individuals in recovery. They operate like a co-op, where you pay the costs and maintain the home by contributing to the upkeep of the house through rent and chores.
There are all types of sober living homes. Some are owned by businesses or religious groups, but the majority of homes are run privately, most often by groups of sober people who form an informal agreement to have a sober living arrangement. These privately run homes allow you to invest in your own recovery.
For Family Members
When family members or loved ones abuse drugs or alcohol, it affects everyone they know. Their addiction can have emotional, psychological, financial, and environmental effects on the people who care about them most. Follow the resources here to cope with an addicted family member or loved one.
Faith Based Recovery
Faith-based drug rehabs allow addicts to include worship as part of their recovery plan. Spaces for prayer are available on-site to host religious services. Scripture readings, discussions and meditations are commonplace in faith-based drug rehabs.
Recovery Programs for Minors
Adolescents have different treatment needs than older substance abusers. In addition to issues involving addiction and withdrawal, these young people may need help with education, co-occurring mental health conditions, family life, and more.
Detox Facilities
A medical detox facility is a treatment center that is staffed with doctors and nurses trained in helping patients cope with the withdrawal symptoms of early drug or alcohol abstinence. Without medical care, these withdrawal symptoms can be unpleasant, dangerous and even life-threatening.
Employers
It is an unfortunately reality that many recovering addicts and alcoholics have a criminal history. This can make finding a job while in recovery difficult. Thanks to the generous help of New Leaf Employment and Lynchburg Resources we have compiled a list of local employers who will not turn away applicants solely based on their criminal record.
