Substance use disorders (SUDs) are mental health conditions characterized by an inability to resist the urge or cravings for drugs or alcohol. While there’s no cure, there are several ways to get back to the life you love. Residential treatment for addiction is for those who need to step away from their daily lives and work on their recovery. It’s the ideal way to understand troubling symptoms better and find new ways to manage them.
The Ranch PA is a full-service addiction treatment center that welcomes anyone who’s struggling with an SUD. Our team has experience treating all types of addiction, including alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine, and prescription or illegal opioids. Our residential treatment program is for those who are unable to stop the abuse despite any desire to quit or are in danger of harming themselves. You’ll participate in group and private therapy sessions where you’ll learn all about addiction and ways that you can beat it.
What is residential treatment for addiction?
Addiction is a complex disorder to treat, and it affects tens of millions of people each year. For those with a serious addiction where they struggle to control their drinking and drug abuse, a residential treatment program is the best course of action.
It provides 24/7 care where you’ll live while working on your recovery. Clients live on-site and receive medication to treat their unique symptoms. They participate in group and private therapy sessions to discuss their reasons for being here. Therapists use behavioral therapies to identify personal triggers and develop new behaviors to replace the negative ones.
Which behavioral therapies treat addiction?
The types of behavioral therapy that are best suited to treat all kinds of substance abuse include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Motivational interviewing (MI)
- Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
Who can benefit from a residential program?
A residential treatment program is for those with a moderate to severe substance use disorder, where they’re unable to control their drinking or drug abuse. It’s also for those with a high risk of relapse due to a co-occurring disorder or not having a stable home.
Residential treatment can last 30 to 90 days, with more extended stays available for those with serious problems. Once clients complete the treatment program, they move on to outpatient therapy, where they continue working with a therapist while living at home.
The benefit of participating in residential rehab
Participating in a residential rehab program has many benefits. It gives you a safe space to focus on your recovery and teaches you several essential life skills for leading a healthy and productive lifestyle.
A structured routine
A residential program follows a structured program that includes daily private therapy sessions, group activities, holistic therapies, and other beneficial programs. It creates an environment that fosters stability and routine, which is essential for those with a chaotic lifestyle caused by their substance abuse.
Addiction education
Therapists will teach clients about the dangers of addiction and how they treat it. They’ll discuss why addiction is so difficult to treat and talk about the therapies involved. You can ask questions about the process, what to expect, and what happens if you relapse.
24/7 support
Residential treatment for addiction includes round-the-clock care where clients live at the facility for a predetermined amount of time. They give clients a safe space away from common stressors and triggers to work on their recovery and reach their goals.
Develop healthy coping skills
One of the biggest benefits of residential treatment is that you’ll learn several healthy coping skills. Therapists use behavioral therapy to recognize and identify your triggers so you can regain control over them. Some coping strategies you’ll learn to include new stress control methods, learning a new hobby, cultivating new friendships, attending therapy sessions, and taking time to reflect.
Peer and family support
One overlooked benefit is the friendships you’ll develop with your peers. You’ll have a chance to bond with your peers during group therapy while participating in group discussions, role-playing activities, and other holistic activities. Plus, you can rebuild family relationships during family counseling. Therapists will teach them all about addiction and how they can create a stable and supportive home environment for their continued recovery.
