Personalized Recovery

ABOUT PERSONALIZED RECOVERY

Located in Santa Barbara, Calif., Personalized Recovery is one of the 15.1% of facilities in California that provides medically-supervised detox services on an outpatient basis. Unique to the facility, outpatient detoxification may be conducted at the client's home. Alternatively, residential detoxification services are also available. After completion of the detox process, clients may be referred to a treatment program to continue treatment, as needed.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

The detox process at Personalized Recovery starts with an individualized treatment plan, using the integrative medicine model, where simple and holistic approaches are utilized. This approach includes a focus on psycho-social and spiritual dimensions that may impact client recovery. The facility combines traditional therapy methods including talk therapies with alternative methods that focus on the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of recovery.

Treatment methods include relapse prevention classes, coping skills workshops, vitamin infused IV therapy, medication management, specialized meal plans, and addiction counseling, both in group and individual settings. Experiential therapies, such as meditation, yoga and exercise, and therapeutic massages, are also offered.

In an effort to improve accountability and to create a recovery community, Personalized Recovery pairs clients with other clients in rehab through a program called "sober companions." The program functions similar to the sponsor system in the 12-Step program, and gives each client an extra source of support.

Clients can choose their treatment approach, whether a 12-step approach or an alternative strategy. This method lets clients choose which option is most appropriate for them with the guidance of qualified staff members.

When clients successfully complete their detoxification program, they have the option to participate in an individualized aftercare program. This program connects clients with resources in the community, as well as ones hosted by the facility, so that they can continue to receive ongoing support.
