NOTE: Researching alcohol and drug treatment centers is usually a difficult process. The very nature of the need for research is often in itself an emotionally charged experience. Despite this difficulty, one important fact must be recognized. In 2003 NIDA sponsored research teams determined that there were 120,000 preventable deaths directly related to alcoholism and substance abuse. This fact is compelling. It helps us to understand the gravity of the alcohol and drug situation. If you or someone you know is in need of treatment for a developing alcohol or drug problem call 877 415 HOPE today. ARC is committed to providing help for those who need it.

Rehab will almost always begin with a phone call. Research online will lead you to making this phone call once you are comfortable with doing so. From that phone call the process of recovery can begin. With a private center, that initial phone call will result in a comprehensive assessment that will result in an individuated and more effective treatment plan. Below you can see how this initial call creates this opportunity and what happens after the first call is made.

Effective Drug Rehabilitation Begins with a Phone Call

The treatment process with ARC begins prior to admission with a detailed telephonic assessment conducted by certified intake counselors. Information is gathered in the form of a admissions profile and is presented to the medical team and treatment begins once the client arrives at the center. Onsite medical detoxification is traditionally the first step in the ARC rehabilitation process. A full history and physical exam by our staff physicians determines the necessary medications that will be needed to ease withdrawal symptoms, if any are anticipated or present.

The clinical team, also apprised of the new client’s clinical history from the intake counselor, begins to formulate a personalized treatment plan focused on the immediate needs of the client. Once the medical detoxification procedures have been established a primary clinician is assigned who will begin to interact with the new client to lend support, empathy and to build trust in the developing clinical relationship.

Due to the variance in medical procedures based on the primary substance of choice fueling the need for drug rehabilitation to begin with, the clinical team implements “spot sessions” as the withdrawal process begins to exasperate feelings and emotions that have lain dormant during the majority of the addictive process. ARC provides all medical services with clinical continuity of care during the detox period, ensuring clients and their loved ones that successful completion of the detoxification program will take place.

Once comfortable detox has been concluded the primary clinician will begin to work more intently with the client and through doing so, develop a personalized treatment plan based on the individual circumstances that have led to the need for drug rehabilitation services.

The ARC multi-disciplinary team of licensed professionals, having already developed an interpersonal relationship with the client during the detox process will begin to coordinate treatment with the primary clinician. The focus of treatment is on assessing where each client is testing on the spectrum of abuse – addiction as well as the underlying issues contributing to the patterns of the addictive process. Successful drug rehabilitation at the center also incorporates addiction education, relapse prevention, experiential therapy, individual therapy and group therapy. These services are all thoughtfully combined with the result of an effective, personalized program of recovery.

Drug abuse and drug addiction both lead to the need for drug rehabilitation. However, at ARC treatment differs for the two. If you or someone you know is in need of treatment for drug abuse or drug addiction then call 877 415 HOPE to begin the process of recovery today. Our credentialed staff will assist you in finding the help you need and answer any questions you might have.

The difference in services offered by private treatment centers v. publically-funded treatment centers is vast. This is primarily due to the limited availability of therapuetically oriented treatment curicullum components in public settings.

Public treatment centers typically offer only 12-step groups and limited substance abuse counseling.

Below you will see the difference in services offered by one of the private centers located in Los Angeles, California.
