What to Expect During Residential Addiction Treatment in Los Angeles

Introduction to Residential Addiction Treatment

Residential addiction treatment is any type of inpatient rehab program in which you move into a supportive treatment center for a period of time. Every facility differs in what it offers, how much it costs, and the treatments and amenities available. Muse Treatment offers high-end addiction treatment in Los Angeles, with the entire continuum of care ranging from inpatient detox and residential addiction treatment to partial hospitalization and outpatient programs. We truly care about your health, and through holistic treatment programs, we customize your care to heal the body, mind, and spirit. In residential rehab, you will live within our comfortable, home-like environment, with round-the-clock support available. Spending 30-90 days in inpatient rehab at Muse Treatment, followed by an ongoing outpatient plan, will give you the best chance at overcoming addiction long-term. 

Initial Steps of Residential Addiction Treatment

Treatment in residential care starts the moment you check in. The first step is assessment. This is an important step because every person has unique needs and different goals for their future. Along with ensuring the right substance use disorder treatments and medications are provided, the assessment also gives your doctors and therapists insight into your physical health, your mental health, and what you want to get out of your time in treatment. From there, they can collaborate with you to create a tailored treatment plan that will work best for you. 

After screening, the next step is usually to spend at least a few days, up to a couple weeks, in medical drug detox, and then, when it’s physically safe to do so, you can begin your 30- to 90-day treatment program, living inside the treatment center full-time. It’s important to note that you’re not a prisoner in detox or rehab, even if you’ve been court-ordered to get help. You can walk out the door any time you want (although there may be consequences if you do so). Rehabilitation can only be successful if you’re ready and willing to participate and do the work required. Recovery can’t happen to you, and you need to make it happen. 

Core Components of Residential Treatment Programs

At Muse Treatment, we believe that an interdisciplinary, holistic approach to substance use disorder treatment provides the best results. This means we incorporate various treatments into each person’s program, with evidence-based therapy, healthy living programs, and stress-reduction techniques combined with mental health care and exercise plans. We aim to improve the quality of all facets of your life, not just the addiction part, by giving you a good baseline with strong relapse prevention skills and life skills that will help you stay healthy and drug-free in the long term.

In our residential addiction treatment program, you will have different types of therapy like:

• Individual therapy includes cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and psychotherapy.
• Group therapy and themed group sessions like anger management, reflective listening, real talk, and overcoming trauma.
• Family sessions involve loved ones in the treatment process to build your support network.

Complementary therapies and activities are also available and may include:

• Educational lectures (psycho-education)
• Relapse prevention programs
• Cognitive retraining
• Nutrition and fitness counseling
• EMDR
• Mindfulness and meditation
• Yoga, pilates, and tai chi
• Spirituality and 12-step methodologies
• Life skills and Vocational Training programs
• Recreational therapy
• Art and cinema therapy and other creative outlets
• Dual diagnosis programs for those with co-occurring mental health conditions

Our inpatient rehab community focuses on two major themes: therapy, discovery, and relapse prevention with education. When you join us, we will help you heal the underlying causes of addiction while giving you the skills and coping mechanisms you need to handle triggers in the future. This is how you can heal, grow, and begin life in long-term recovery. 

Daily Life During Residential Treatment

At Muse Treatment, your typical daily schedule in residential addiction treatment is structured. You’ll sleep in a comfortable bed in the treatment center, get up in the morning, and get ready for a full day of therapy, holistic programs, healthy food, exercise, and recreational activities. We don’t leave much free time in our daily schedule because building healthy habits starts with leaving old thoughts, behaviors, and habits behind. You’ll stay busy with activities and working on a new lifestyle based on health and wellness. 

Living in our addiction treatment center in Los Angeles, you’ll be surrounded by peers who understand what you’re going through and have similar goals. You can support one another, work together in group sessions, and have fun as you begin the recovery process. Having people around you who “get it” will help you feel less alone, increasing your likelihood of seeing the full term of your rehab and achieving your recovery goals. 

Specialized Therapies and Programs Offered

Muse Treatment offers many different treatments and programs for residential addiction treatment. Depending on your reasons for coming to rehab, your health needs, and your personal preferences, you may be placed in specialized programs or therapies.

Dual Diagnosis Programs 

Dual-diagnosis treatment plans are designed to help people who are not only addicted to drugs or alcohol but also have mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, or bipolar disorder. 

Therapists and doctors will work together to make sure your treatment plan will help you recover from all issues at the same time, as addiction can make mental health worse, while untreated mental health disorders can lead to relapse. You can manage your conditions and live a healthier, happier life through therapy, medications, and stress reduction techniques. 

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

MAT programs are for people who have an addiction to substances that cannot be quit overnight. People quitting opioid drugs are the most likely to need a MAT plan in which their doctor prescribes medicine like buprenorphine or methadone in low doses to help them avoid serious withdrawal symptoms as they slowly taper off their use. This will allow them to begin the hard work in therapy without being constantly distracted by pain and drug cravings caused by their withdrawal. People quitting alcohol and benzodiazepine drugs may also require Medication Assisted Treatment programs to ensure they don’t experience dangerous seizures and other serious symptoms. 

The Role of Detox in Residential Treatment

Detox is when the drugs and alcohol are purged from your system. Staying in a medical treatment center will ensure you stay safe during this time, as your body will produce withdrawal symptoms that can range from mild to severe depending on the types of drugs you were using, how much you were taking, and for how long. 

While detoxing is not easy, it is necessary to be able to move on to recovery. In a medical detox program, you’ll have 24-hour medical care, with treatments and prescription drugs available to keep you safe and comfortable, and you may also start therapy at this time, depending on your health and the program you’re in. 

Preparing for Life After Residential Treatment

After you’ve completed your 30 to 90 days in residential addiction treatment at Muse Treatment, you’re not left on your own. We have various outpatient addiction treatment plans to choose from and long-term ongoing aftercare programs that will keep you connected with helpful doctors, counselors, therapists, support groups, and community gatherings, so you’re never alone when you need support. 

We’ve got your back from partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs to flexible aftercare options. By combining your recovery skills learned in rehab with a continuing care program, you will have a high likelihood of avoiding relapse and remaining sober long-term.
