The primary goals of an inpatient residential drug treatment center, is to help the addicted person detox from drugs and alcohol, identify the underlying issues that may influence drug or alcohol use, and develop a therapeutic plan for recovery. The particular therapies used in drug rehab vary depending on the person’s underlying issues.
The structure and guidance provided in our inpatient rehab and treatment program prepares our clients for sustainable success in recovery once they complete the program.
Here are some of the unique benefits available to you in BLVD Treatment Centers’ inpatient rehab program:
- A structured treatment setting complete with on and off-site activities for you while in the recovery community. This will help you build a network of clean and sober allies.
- A progressive and personalized program with low therapist-to-client ratios to allow you to grow and progress while you are in residential rehab treatment.
- Nutritious and delicious meals prepared by a gourmet chef, served in a family dining style setting
- A comprehensive aftercare plan so you know exactly what your goals are, where you need to be in your recovery, and how you can remain successful within your recovery.
BLVD’S RESIDENTIAL INPATIENT TREATMENT PROGRAM: WHAT TO EXPECT
Typically, clients come to our residential treatment centers for a medically assisted detox and transition into a higher level of care when they are finished with their detox process.
At that time, they move into the residential rehabilitation home and begin attending group and one-on-one therapy sessions, meals, and reflection breaks.
We adhere to a strict schedule, but we know that fun is important. We often bake cookies, or sit by the outdoor fireplace listening to music, have table tennis tournaments, play board games, or watch movies.
On weekends we go on outings, such as horseback riding, the beach, or the movies.
We want our clients who stay in our residential drug treatment centers to remember this as a special occasion in which they healed and rediscovered the capacity for healthy relationships and community building.
Road To Residential Rehab: Group Therapies
ROCK TO RECOVERY – ROCK TO RECOVERY MUSIC GROUP – Rock to Recovery was created to help soothe the restless souls of those in recovery. We do this by creating a “band” and writing and recording songs together with Rock to Recovery’s staff of professional musicians, who are also in recovery. We help bring fun into treatment and recovery by offering a natural escape from the fear-based mind. This helps people grow a sense of belonging and self-esteem. We help to vent emotions by writing lyrics and singing together for release in real-time. We tie in a positive theme of hope during the recovery process. When the session is done, our “band” members feel a new energy throughout their minds and spirits.
CBT – Cognitive-behavioral therapy, commonly referred to as CBT, is based on well-established principles supporting the notion that changing negative thinking patterns and reducing maladaptive behavior can have a beneficial effect on a person’s emotions and behavior.
Relapse Prevention – A group focused on strengthening coping skills in an effort to reduce risk for relapse. Includes education on the process of addiction, the physical and psychological changes, the process of recovery and skills needed to implement effective plans to sustain sobriety following treatment.
Socialization / Interpersonal Skills – Group focused on building coping skills that usually includes team-building exercises, public appropriateness or implementing fun, therapeutic activities geared towards socialization in early recovery.
Sound Healing – Taught by a Vocal Alchemist Healer with the ability to weave tonal prayer songs that energetically clear imbalances, trauma, negative patterns, beliefs, and influences; and transmit energetic frequencies that assist one’s spiritual process of awakening to their true divine nature. Participants frequently experience elevated states of consciousness, visions, physical and emotional healing, connection with guides, Angels, and loved ones, feel waves of energy pulsing and tingling throughout their bodies, as past trauma is released and blocked energy begins to flow. What results is an encompassing feeling of love and wellbeing.
Acting/Drama therapy – A unique program developed specifically for BLVD clients with 12 Step Recovery at its core. Utilizing emotional scene work that speaks experientially to the alcoholic or the addict and aides in recapturing the creativity, imagination and intuition that the client has lost to addiction. The process allows clients to gain self-awareness, develop skills, bring peace to their pasts and envision new possibilities for their futures.
Tai Chi – A graceful series of ancient Chinese meditative exercise movements that help promote physical and mental health, well-being and spiritual essence.
Breathwork – Breathwork is a simple technique that helps create new perspectives on old behaviors that no longer serve us. Process trauma, develop new thought patterns, and build a stronger, truer connection to your body all while gently calming the mind. By following this two-stage breathing rhythm, most people report reduced anxiety, a sense of being consciously present and connected and, in many cases, having had a spiritual experience.
Acupuncture — A holistic, medical system. Thin, sterile, disposable needles are superficially placed into various sites which activate the brain to release endorphins into the body. Endorphins lower pain levels and relax the central nervous system which decreases stress, anxiety and cravings.
