What Is Rehab Like?

If you have never attended rehab before you may understandably worry about what it is like. It’s difficult enough to recover from drug and alcohol abuse as a young person, and adding an unfamiliar environment to the mix can sometimes be a cause for anxiety. With this in mind, today we are taking the opportunity to answer the question what is rehab like at a Florida residential drug rehab center?

What Is Drug Rehab?

Drug rehab is a rehabilitative program designed to help individuals suffering from drug addiction achieve lasting sobriety. Treatment typically involves detoxification, counseling, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), behavioral therapies, and support groups. The goal of these programs is to help individuals overcome their addictions, improve their physical and mental health, reintegrate into society, and learn to live a life of sobriety.

During the course of treatment, patients will learn healthy coping mechanisms for managing triggers and cravings associated with substance abuse. They may also be encouraged to engage in activities that promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Additionally, programs often incorporate other supportive services such as vocational training, job placement, and case management. With the help of a comprehensive drug rehab program, individuals can learn to cope with life without drugs and reach lifelong sobriety.

The success rate of drug rehab programs varies depending on the individual recovering from addiction, the type of treatment they receive, and other environmental factors. However, research indicates that attending an evidence-based program is the most effective way to achieve long-term sobriety.

What Is Rehab Like?

So what is rehab like for a new client? It probably isn’t anything like how you are picturing it. When most people think of inpatient rehab, the picture something like an old hospital. The inpatient treatment facility on Jacksonville beach is a secure environment with staff that takes care of you in beach-accessible homes. Part of the treatment philosophy of Beaches Recovery is treatment by way of relaxation and enjoyment of the beautiful environment.

This community-minded approach doesn’t seek to isolate you but rather bind you closer to a community of others in recovery. You will be provided with 24-hour care as well as a comprehensive treatment plan that is structured to allow you to move past your addiction and build a new life free of drugs and alcohol.

Housing and Residential Life

There are significant amenities available in the living area, including easy access if you wish to visit the beach. You will have shared living quarters with others who are working toward recovery. However, you will find living areas clean and spacious rather than the cramped living situation you may be reluctant to enter. We pride ourselves on maintaining residences that our clients look forward to returning to and enjoying their rest after a day of hard work toward recovery.

A Day In The Life At Beaches

One of the most important parts of recovery is establishing a healthy routine. The structure of a day at Beaches is designed to maximize your opportunities to advance your recovery. Your morning will consist of meditation and breakfast so that you can begin your day nourished in body and spirit.

Between breakfast and lunch, you will have therapeutic opportunities such as group therapy as well as an activity we call experiential therapy. This may consist of exercise, sports, or another productive and fun experience.

After lunch will when the hard work toward recovery happens, with individual therapy sessions, exercises, and a vigorous workout. Your day will close out after dinnertime with a support group meeting or social activity. You may have the opportunity to go on an accompanied visit to the store if you need to buy necessities.
