Drug Intervention in Los Angeles

Your loved one has a problem with alcohol or drug use. They may even be struggling with a dual diagnosis – the co-occurrence of alcohol or drug addiction and mental health issues. Maybe they’re hiding the problem or denying that it exists, but you can see it – and feel it. Sometimes, it feels like you’re the only one suffering because of it.

Maybe you’ve tried – unsuccessfully – to get your loved one into a treatment center in the past. Although you have the best intentions, you know how easily these types of conversations can quickly escalate and become out of control, causing your loved one to sink even deeper into denial and despair.

With a drug intervention in Los Angeles, California, you can help your loved one find the right treatment programs to help them heal from drug or alcohol addiction. At New Found Life in Southern California, our range of evidence-based treatment options can help facilitate the addiction recovery process. Our continuum of care, from residential treatment options to intensive outpatient treatment and aftercare and sober living services, allows your family to experience true healing.

What to Expect During an Intervention

Each intervention plan is designed around an individual’s unique needs and circumstances. Still, there are a few overarching elements to expect, including:

  • Planning: The most effective interventions take a highly individualized approach, which requires extensive preparation. A trained, experienced, and licensed interventionist gets to know the family and develops an intervention plan that takes participants, the location, and the best approach into consideration. Because the eventual goal is for the person to accept treatment services, the interventionist will also coordinate immediate transportation and admission to the treatment center.
  • Education: Although family members and friends are saddled with emotional turmoil related to their loved one’s struggle with substance abuse, they may not fully understand the disease of addiction and the challenges their loved one struggles with on a day-to-day basis. Intervention participants learn about healthy coping behaviors and effective ways to support their loved ones through drug rehab and the recovery journey instead of enabling them.
  • Guidance: An interventionist is an objective third-party who has no emotional investment in the situation at hand. That way, they’re able to be open, honest, and keep the conversation on track while giving everyone the opportunity to express themselves in a healthy way.

Our Levels of Care

Programs for Supporting Intervention and Beyond

Our levels of care allow families and their loved ones the peace of mind that comes from being cared for by a team of expert healthcare providers. 

Our treatment programs include: 

The clinical team collaborates with your social worker, primary care doctor, or other professionals to ensure you have a strong support network available to help you recover and heal. 

Medication Management and Dual Diagnosis

Many people with substance use disorder (SUD) often have co-occurring mental health disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Some mental health issues, including PTSD or anxiety, may require psychiatric support and prescription medications. New Found Life offers medication management and regular check-ins with a psychiatrist.

Evidence-Based Therapies for Recovery

We use evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to treat addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. All programs at New Found Life also offer holistic healing to complement evidence-based modalities. Clients learn to use mindfulness, meditation, skill development, and other tools to manage cravings and other symptoms of SUD. 

Family Education & Support

Therapy sessions typically encompass education about substance addiction and its effects on daily functioning. Misinformation often causes family members to believe that their loved ones with addiction simply need to “move on” or “put in more effort.” In reality, addiction can induce physical changes in the brain and alter thought patterns, making behavioral changes challenging.

These therapy sessions guide family members on how to provide their loved ones with appropriate support. Participants will also discover effective ways to communicate their own needs and ask for help during high-stress situations.

A Support System of Licensed Clinicians, Therapists, and Alumni Mentors

At New Found Life, individuals undergoing drug or alcohol rehabilitation have access to a team of licensed clinicians, therapists, and alumni mentors available on-site. This holistic support system guarantees that clients are surrounded by an expert team to assist them during the withdrawal and recovery phases. Family members also gain from having a dedicated group of professionals focused on their loved one’s treatment, which helps lower the chance of relapse and enhances the likelihood of continued participation in treatment. The clinical team provides education to both family members and clients about the challenges of addiction recovery and available aftercare support resources, fostering a more knowledgeable home support network.

Aftercare and Sober Living Options to Support Lasting Recovery

Sober living programs provide individuals with a secure environment to further their healing journey during aftercare and ongoing recovery. A drug rehabilitation center also equips clients with essential skills and resources to support long-term sobriety. New Found Life provides various levels of care, featuring tailored treatment plans and behavioral health services aimed at addressing any co-occurring disorders. Clinicians employ diverse therapeutic approaches to link clients with aftercare services, including options for sober living accommodations.

FAQs

The most effective intervention for substance abuse often includes a combination of behavioral therapies, counseling, and medical treatment. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly notable for its effectiveness, helping individuals identify and change negative thought patterns related to substance use. Additionally, prescription medications used in the detox process can assist those with alcohol and opioid dependence. Tailoring interventions to individual needs and maintaining a supportive environment significantly increases the likelihood of long-term sobriety.

A drug intervention is a structured meeting where, more often, family members, friends, and sometimes professionals confront a person about their substance use and its impact on their life and relationships. The goal of an intervention is to encourage the individual to seek help for their addiction. It typically involves planning, rehearsing, and often presenting a united message that emphasizes concern and love. By providing support and clear options for treatment, interventions can lead to timely help for individuals struggling with substance abuse.

A drug rehab facility offers a controlled environment where individuals can focus on their recovery without the distractions of daily life and substance access. A treatment facility provides structured care that includes medical support, counseling, and peer support, which can enhance accountability and motivation for recovery. Additionally, rehab centers like New Found Life have a fully qualified, licensed, and experienced staff of professionals who can offer a personalized treatment plan to meet the specific needs of each individual. This comprehensive support increases the chances of long-term recovery and helps individuals develop coping strategies for life after rehab.

The average stay in drug rehab typically ranges from 30 to 90 days, depending on the severity of the addiction and the specific program. Short-term programs usually last about 28 to 30 days, while longer-term options can extend up to three months or more. Staying longer in rehab has been associated with better recovery outcomes, as extended treatment can help individuals address underlying issues and develop coping skills. At New Found Life, we work with individuals and determine the appropriate length of stay based on their individual needs and the severity of addiction.

Every individual has different recovery goals and needs. Some people can successfully juggle multiple responsibilities with addiction rehab. However, others may struggle to return to work or school if they still struggle with severe cravings or other symptoms of SUD. The clinical team at New Found Life will work with you to determine the best program to help you heal while ensuring you do not step away from your everyday life any longer than necessary.
