Top-Rated Drug Rehab for Residents of Oakland

When you decide to stop using a drug that has caused a chemical dependency, the first step in your recovery is to detox. This is when you stop using the drug, and let your body get it out of your system. Depending on the drug, this can be a relatively straightforward process, or if it’s a more serious substance, like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opiates, withdrawal can become extremely uncomfortable or even life-threatening. At Muse Treatment, we offer a medically assisted treatment to get you through this phase as comfortably and safely as possible, as prescription medications are administered while you are under clinical care.

When you are ready, we transition you into our inpatient drug rehab facility, where you will stay for 30, 60, or 90 days, learning healthy coping mechanisms and ways to live an independent life without the use of drugs or alcohol, for long-term recovery success.

Muse Treatment is the top-rated drug rehab for residents of Oakland, California, because of its relaxing location, its community-oriented facility, its professional, highly trained staff, and its first-class amenities.

At Muse Addiction Treatment Center, our comprehensive rehabilitation programs focus on the root of addiction and are personalized to suit each of our patients to meet their specific needs, goals, and preferences.

Many of our highly trained staff members are in recovery themselves, and may be able to give you insights into your condition or lend an empathetic ear if you want somebody to talk to who gets it. They are true examples that life after rehab exists, and they can show you it is possible to be successful and live a good life without the use of drugs or alcohol.

When you stay at Muse Addiction Treatment Center, you will be in a comfortable, safe environment to work on yourself and focus on your recovery through a customized, integrated therapy and health-care plan.

Opioids are a highly addictive class of drugs that include prescription pain medication like morphine, fentanyl, codeine, and oxycodone. People who become addicted to these drugs may eventually move on to heroin because of its euphoric highs and relatively low cost.

Stopping heroin can be extremely uncomfortable or even painful, with symptoms like body aches, fatigue, nausea, and intense drug cravings. To detox safely and comfortably, a Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) is recommended. At Muse Treatment, our medical staff can provide a combination of FDA-approved medications like methadone or buprenorphine, counseling and behavioral therapies to help you tackle the biological and the behavioral sides of heroin addiction, while helping you through the worst of the withdrawal symptoms and satisfy drug cravings. The medications are given in prescription amounts under medical supervision, and they do not get you high, so they will not create a new addiction. With its focus on the patient as a whole person, using therapy, mental health services, and medications, MAT is a detox method proven to reduce the risk of relapse.

After the detox period is over, you will gain the clarity and serenity to be able to begin work on your sobriety, and we can transition you into one of our 30- ,60-, or 90-day rehab programs.  

Cocaine is a highly addictive stimulant drug that raises heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. It makes the user’s dopamine levels rise in their brain for a pleasant and energetic feeling, but it quickly wears off, causing:

• Low mood
• Depression
• Tiredness

Cocaine can cause strokes, cardiac arrest, and even death. Your brain can “forget” to produce dopamine on its own after a while, leading to a cycle of more drug use, just to be able to feel normal, because it begins to be impossible to feel pleasure without drug use.

Addiction to cocaine is mainly psychological, so at Muse Treatment, during detox, we introduce therapy early in the detox process to help you through it. The withdrawal symptoms from this drug include:

• Irritability and restlessness
• Nightmares and insomnia
• Fatigue
• Depression or a general malaise
• Headaches
• Paranoia

Cocaine use also causes physical health issues like:

• Heart murmur
• High blood pressure
• Severe sinus issues

There are not any medications that treat cocaine dependence, but at Muse Treatment, in our medically assisted treatment program, we can administer medications to help manage symptoms and reduce drug cravings. Once stabilized, you can move into our rehab facility, with access to many types of therapy, life skills training, and recreational community gatherings, all of which can be used to work on yourself and get ready to return to your life as a sober person. 

With our medical detox program, combined with the expert therapy and counselling, our clinical staff will be able to help keep you as comfortable as possible, avoid relapse, and adjust to living an independent life without using drugs. 

Methamphetamine is a very strong drug that can cause rapid dependency. When you detox from meth, you will experience what has been described as a “crash”, causing feelings of agitation, fatigue, insomnia, tremors, confusion, excessive sweating, nausea, depression and dehydration.

At Muse Treatment we recommend using a medically assisted detox when quitting meth. We can provide FDA-approved medications at prescription doses, so that you will remain comfortable and safe. These medications will not create a new dependency. Our highly trained staff are there 24 hours a day in case you need anything.

After meth detox, you can seamlessly transition into one of our residential drug rehab programs, which will be specifically tailored to your needs and preferences.

At Muse, we will work with you every step of the way, to create an individualized rehab program that works for you. We screen for co-occurring mental health issues and trauma, health conditions, and other factors, because at Muse we believe in treating the “whole patient”, not just withdrawal symptoms. We get to know about you, your goals, your budget, and your needs so that we can formulate a personalized plan for your recovery, long-term.

Our dedicated staff, first class amenities, and comfortable housing options make detox and rehabilitation at Muse peaceful and relaxing, and our outpatient drug rehab aftercare programs, sober living home referrals, and robust alumni group will ensure you never have to feel alone in your recovery.

With a combination of Medically Assisted Treatment, behavioral therapy, counselling, and our life-skills programs, your ability to live a self-directed life without the use of drugs or alcohol will improve significantly.
