Drug Intervention
Drugs affect the lives of not only the person doing the drugs, but those around them, those
who love and care for their well being. When you are addicted to drugs and you don’t stop, you might receive a drug intervention. A drug intervention is where everyone you know and care about and cares about you and is affected by your drug abuse come together and gets between you and your drugs. A drug intervention can be planned, where you know when and where it’s going to happen and you show up and everyone speaks to you about how this problem is affecting you and his or her relationship with you. Or a drug intervention could be a covert operation where you have no idea you are going to have a drug intervention; it’s more like a surprise for you.
Drug interventions are difficult on the person who does drugs because they already know that what they do affects other people but they just don’t care. The high is all that matters to them. Now there is hope at Sunset Malibu. You can call us at 1-800-332-9202 and talk to our caring staff of counselors and trained therapists who will guide you on a journey of recovery.
What Treatment Options Are Offered At A Drug Intervention?
At the drug intervention, you may talk about your treatment options with your friends and family. They may suggest an out patient treatment facility or a residential care facility which would be comparable to a stay at a hospital. At Sunset Malibu are not a just a drug treatment center; we are also a luxurious sober living facility with programs such as individual therapies, family therapies and group therapy.
Hopefully before any drug intervention is performed, someone has called us at Sunset Malibu at 1-800-332-9202 and talked with our staff about the many spa amenities available to our patients. This would further entice the drug addict to agree to a drug program if he or she knew there would be in a spa atmosphere instead of an institutional facility. A few
of the amenities include hiking, surfing and horseback riding, all on the beautiful beaches of Malibu California.
Sunset Malibu has created a relaxed atmosphere in which you can work through various traditional treatment programs, along side processes like holistic medicines, acupuncture and massage therapy. Like the people at your drug intervention, we want to provide you with the tools you need to recover from your addictions and overcome the constant obstacles once you are freed from drug addiction.
Why Choose Sunset Malibu Drug Rehab Center After Your Intervention?
A drug intervention is the first step in a long road to recovery. The next step would be to call Sunset Malibu at 1-800-332-9202 and talk with one of our caring and compassionate staff members about treatment options.
Sunset Malibu is a private drug recovery center; located on a two-acre garden lot with private rooms for each guest (several places put two or more people to a room). We take in fewer patients so we have more time per patient to work on individualized programs.
Sunset Malibu will give you all the support you need to become the person you once were. A sober, loving, caring person, not the person you are today, not the person who needs a drug intervention. And yes, it’s a difficult reality to take and that’s why at Sunset Malibu we have a
team of empathetic therapists, nurses, and counselors who will help you on your journey to becoming you again. They come to us with years of experience and knowing what it’s like to be a drug addict. Knowing what it’s like to have your family and friends form a drug intervention on your behalf. It can be embarrassing if you aren’t ready for the truth.
More Treatment Options
People who stage the drug intervention only know they want to help you recover from a disease that is ruining your life and theirs as well. They don’t particularly know what’s involved unless they call Sunset Malibu at 1-800-332-9202 and speak to someone about our programs.
Sunset Malibu is a residential center that uses education, training and guidance as their central methods of teaching the skills necessary to recovery. Removing the patient from the streets and friends and family who unwillingly enable them with money for their habits, the patient is surrounded by caring, companionate people who want to see them succeed in a new and healthy lifestyle. The first step at home is a drug intervention.
The first step at Sunset Malibu is drug detox in which the body must be rid of the drugs. Over time, the body needs more and more of the harmful chemicals to feel normal. Taking away that large amount of drugs will cause symptoms Sunset Malibu has trained professionals ready to deal with.
After detoxification come the individual, group and sometimes family therapy groups. These can be very helpful on the road to recovery.
Holistic treatments, such as massage, physical and other therapies are another key component in your treatment and stay at Sunset Malibu.
I Completed Drug Rehab, Now What?
Going through a drug intervention with family and friends, then surviving months of intense therapy, even if it was in a relaxing spa environment, can take its toll on anyone. That’s why everyone is enrolled in the relapse prevention program upon the completion of primary treatment.
Everyone may have days of weakness in which they want to go back to using drugs again.
After all it was easy then, nothing and no one to worry about but yourself. But if you do go back to using, you are only letting yourself down. If you relapse, and people do, we have a program for relapsed patients and can help you with the healing process anew.
Sometimes when a patient relapses, another drug intervention is scheduled because the patient won’t admit they have a problem, or thought they had the problem under control and still do when they don’t have anything under control.
Drug interventions can be for all types of drugs, including prescription pain medications, which a lot of people are in denial about because they are prescriptions and prescribed by a doctor. But if you are taking more and more than you should by going to several pharmacies to get them refilled, then you have a problem with prescription drugs. The only way out is to agree to enter an effective drug rehab program like we offer here at Sunset Malibu. And perhaps a drug intervention may be the only way to begin that process.
