Right on the border of Nevada and California is Alpine County. With a 2020 population of just about 1,200 people, Alpine is California’s least populous county. Some of the people within Alpine County will find themselves struggling with drug or alcohol addiction.
However, because the county is so sparsely populated, addiction recovery services are sparse in the area. This means that those within the county who need skilled, therapeutic care for substance abuse will have to find it elsewhere.
One of those places where treatment can be found is Los Angeles, which is where Luxe Recovery is located.
For a lot of people, going on an addiction recovery journey is not a choice that they make by themselves. Often, it takes their loved ones coming together and urging them to seek treatment by staging an intervention.
Addiction is characterized by a loss of control, and people who struggle with it may continue their substance use regardless of adverse effects. But there are times when a person resolves to seek care and support to overcome a substance use disorder.
Sometimes, a person who struggles with addiction experiences an effect that is so dramatic, like an overdose or an acute crisis where they become a danger to other people, that they accept that they have a problem and resolve to implement positive changes in their behavior.
Drug and alcohol use is widespread throughout the state of California. Half of all people over the age of 12 in the state reported using alcohol, and a fifth reported using marijuana in 2022. It should be noted that, in a lot of cases, most instances of drug or alcohol use are relatively benign, and those users won’t develop a physical or psychological dependence.
That said, many in California need to receive treatment for substance abuse. The rate of fentanyl-related deaths increased by a factor of 10 from 2015 to 2019, and the rate of amphetamine-related hospital visits increased by 50% from 2018 to 2020.
The rarity of comprehensive treatment options in Alpine County makes it so that people who need to recover from addiction will have to leave and find other places where there are rehabilitation centers.
While rehab facilities may be few and far between in Alpine County, there are alternatives where people who need treatment can find help and support for addiction. These include:
Coming to us in Los Angeles can come with several benefits. Some of the highlights of coming to our facility for treatment include:
Our recovery center comes with a variety of luxury amenities, such as a gym, an onsite chef, and a spa. Clients can feel comfortable throughout the intense and often challenging recovery process.
We individualize our treatment plans in our center. Our team of professionals will give guests a thorough assessment to determine their needs and recognize their struggles. This is because addiction is a complex disease, and people’s needs will vary.
We offer various levels of care. These include detox, residential treatment, outpatient care, and sober living. This allows us to be there for our patients throughout their recovery journey.
Mental health is closely tied to addiction. As such, we offer Dual Diagnosis treatment to allow us to treat both a person’s substance use and their substance disorders at the same time.
Many people value their privacy, especially regarding addiction. Coming to us can put enough distance between a person and anyone who may want to violate their privacy.
In addition to our various evidence-based treatment modalities, we also use various holistic practices. These can include yoga and reiki. They’re not meant to supplant traditional treatment, but they can help foster lasting recovery.
One of the most important parts of recovery is detoxification. This is the stage of treatment wherein a person expels the substances from their body, and this can be difficult. This can cause a person to go into withdrawal and suffer from any number of symptoms, but there are ways to help mitigate these withdrawal symptoms.
One way to detox slowly. Over a few weeks, a person slowly tapers off their substance use until it gets down to zero. Detoxifying this way can help mitigate or avert withdrawal symptoms. It is important to note that the suitability of this method will depend on the type of drugs being taken, the dosage, and the individual medical history of the person. Consultation with a healthcare professional is still recommended.
Another way to detoxify the body is to stop all at once. This is best done in a specialized treatment facility as this will almost invariably lead to withdrawal, and some forms of withdrawal may require immediate medical attention.
Long-term recovery is the goal of anyone who seeks treatment for addiction, and it is possible to work toward it. Many treatment providers have aftercare options so patients can continue to receive support after they leave inpatient care.
Relapse is possible, even after residential treatment. As such, it’s important for people who are in recovery to continue to receive support by going to therapy. This can be individual counseling, group therapy, or a combination of both.
Furthermore, it’s also important to be kind.
Having a strong social support system will also be important. Having support from loved ones can encourage a person to maintain their sobriety. These loved ones can also offer practical assistance by helping a person live their life as well, potentially stopping them from falling back into old patterns.
Many people have unique needs when it comes to mental health conditions and substance addiction. This is why individualized treatment from a team of dedicated addiction specialists is pivotal in the recovery process.
However, there are a lot of people who never find that kind of help. In fact, do not find any kind of help at all. Luxe Recovery can offer people the help they need to recover. Contact us to learn more. We take most forms of health insurance.
