Blue Coast Addiction Intervention in Newport Beach

Intervention events need careful planning and an addiction professional’s assistance, but they shouldn’t be like dramatic depictions on TV. Real interventions require emotional regulation and a calm, controlled tenor. To prepare for the intervention, families and loved ones should present a united front and focus on calm confrontation instead of blaming or judging the addict.

During the intervention, each person should provide specific, non-judgmental accounts of how the addict’s behavior has impacted them, and the addiction professional should explain how treatment could help. Finally, each person describes how they will respond if the addict refuses, and this response needs to be absolute and non-negotiable.

Blue Coast, Newport Beach Detox and Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Recovery facilities offer safe and comfortable medically monitored detox for drug and alcohol dependence. The latest evidence-based approaches are used to manage the physical changes in the brain and body. Studies show that medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is effective for people recovering from drug or alcohol dependence. MAT is available for opioid use disorder and alcoholism. It is used in conjunction with a substance use disorder treatment program as a supplement.

There are several common prescription drugs used to manage opioid dependency.

• Buprenorphine: suppresses and reduces cravings for opioids
• Methadone: reduces opioid cravings and reduces or blocks the effects of opioids
• Naltrexone: blocks the euphoric and sedative effects of opioids

There are several prescription medications that are useful for treating alcohol use disorder.

• Naltrexone: also used to treat opioid use disorder. This medication reduces cravings for alcohol as well. Although it is an opioid antagonist, it does not block the intoxication effects of alcohol
• Acamprosate: works for people in recovery to prevent people from drinking alcohol. The person should be abstinent for at least five days before using Acamprosate
• Disulfiram: treats chronic alcoholism and is most effective for people who have already detoxed. Should not be taken by those who have consumed alcohol within the last 12 hours
• Antabuse: this medication creates an allergic reaction to alcohol. Drinking while on Antabuse will result in severe sickness, which is considered to be a deterrent

Blue Coast Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Newport Beach

Recovery centers offer an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for people who have completed detox and residential therapy. IOPs include one-on-one treatment with therapists and group therapy sessions. Blue Coast Behavioral Health specializes in outpatient treatment and a higher level of care called PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program), which is similar to IOP but requires more time commitment.

IOP helps recovering addicts and alcoholics transition to independence. Counselors personalize each treatment plan, reviewing and adjusting it as needed. Clients are encouraged to find gainful employment suitable for their stage of recovery. This phased approach provides structure and accountability. Counselors establish a timeline that is right for each individual case, with early recovery requiring more oversight to avoid relapse.

Blue Coast Aftercare for Outpatient Rehab, Newport Beach

Outpatient treatment is for individuals with moderate to less severe addiction levels who have completed residential treatment. Instead of living at the facility, patients attend weekly treatment sessions and counseling while living at home. They learn coping skills and get resources to avoid substance use and manage their condition.

Outpatient rehab focuses on discharge planning and relapse prevention plans guided by case managers. We believe social bonding in sobriety is important, so we schedule group activities like gym sessions, kayaking, and friendly competitions like football games or beach volleyball. Family therapy sessions or private consultations are available for individuals struggling with family relationships.

Blue Coast assigns a case manager to every client for guidance and monitoring of progress. Case managers also direct group meetings, guided meditations, and social activities. While case managers act as client advocates, they also maintain the program’s integrity and ensure individuals comply with the rules. Therapy is also a crucial aspect of outpatient care.

Some of the more common therapies include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
• Individual Therapy
• Group Therapy
• Matrix Model Therapy
• WRAP therapy
• Practical guidance, such as mindfulness meditation

Blue Coast Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Newport Beach

Addiction to mind-altering substances, also known as Substance Use Disorder (SUD), can be difficult to understand. People with alcoholism or drug addiction might behave differently than they normally would, especially when they have access to their drug of choice. Having a mental illness can make addiction even worse. For example, someone with depression might drink to feel better but end up making their depression worse. This is called a dual diagnosis.

In California, many people have a dual diagnosis. The California Health Care Almanac reports that 34.4% of adults who received mental health services had a mental illness and substance use disorder. Blue Coast Behavioral Health in Orange County offers treatment for people with a dual diagnosis. We understand how hard it can be to manage mental illness and addiction at the same time, and we offer help and hope to those who need it.

These disorders may include the following:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Personality Disorder
• ADHD
• Bipolar
