<\/span>Understanding the Different Levels of Care in Addiction Treatment<\/span><\/h2>\n

More than 20 million Americans struggle with an addiction to drugs or alcohol, but only 10%<\/a> receive the treatment they need. For the people who do seek treatment, choosing the right treatment program can be challenging and confusing.<\/p>\n

There are many different substance abuse treatment centers to choose from in Southern California, but each one is unique in the programs they offer. Some drug and alcohol rehab centers only offer residential services while others only offer outpatient services. Many rehab centers offer a full continuum of care consisting of different levels of treatment designed to match addiction severity.<\/p>\n

If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, choosing the right treatment program is essential for your recovery. Speak with a team member at ARISE Treatment Center today to figure out which level of care is right for you.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Why are There Different Levels of Care in Addiction Treatment?<\/span><\/h2>\n

On a clinical level, drug addiction and alcoholism are diagnosed as substance use disorders (SUDs). SUDs come in different severities ranging from mild to moderate and severe. In other words, some people have more severe addictions than others.<\/p>\n

Someone with a severe substance use disorder may require medical care and around-the-clock monitoring while someone with a mild SUD may be able to recover solely on an outpatient basis. Treatment needs vary greatly depending on the progression of the patient\u2019s addiction, how quickly they respond to treatment, and the overall status of their mental health.<\/p>\n

Different levels of care offer multiple options for people seeking addiction treatment<\/a> so they can attend the right program based on their needs. Many people choose to start treatment at a higher level of care, then transition down to lower levels of care as they make progress in their treatment plan and recovery program.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Levels of Care<\/span><\/h2>\n

The different levels of care you may find in an addiction treatment program include:<\/p>\n

<\/span>Detox<\/span><\/h3>\n

Detox<\/a> is often viewed as the first step toward sobriety. This is because the first obstacle you will face when getting sober is withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n

Drug and alcohol withdrawal can be intense, and in some cases life-threatening, so it\u2019s always important to detox under close medical supervision. Medical detox centers offer around-the-clock care and support in the form of medications, holistic therapies, and peer groups.<\/p>\n

Detox typically lasts less than two weeks. Most inpatient substance abuse treatment centers offer detox services as part of their program, but rehab centers that offer outpatient only may not offer detox.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Inpatient Residential Rehab<\/span><\/h3>\n

After detox, inpatient or residential rehab<\/a> is the next highest level of care. Many people transition to an inpatient rehab after detoxing.<\/p>\n

During inpatient rehab, patients stay in a residential or hospital-like setting among other patients. Some facilities offer private rooms, but most require you to share your room with another patient.<\/p>\n

Inpatient rehab centers offer 24\/7 supervision and behavioral health support. They are great for people with severe addictions, co-occurring disorders, or those who do not have access to safe, supportive housing.<\/p>\n

Inpatient addiction treatment programs operate on a basis of structure and routine. Your day may look like:<\/p>\n
