Program Components

Assessment and Individualized Treatment Plan

 

Lasting Recovery’s San Diego Intensive Outpatient (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs begin with a comprehensive assessment to individualize your addiction treatment and the accompanying mental and behavioral health problems that are very often associated with chemical dependency.

 

This includes:

• Drug and Alcohol Use
• Psychological Assessment
  
• Family and Social Relationships
• Lifestyle Issues

We review or assess medications to treat  sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder and ADHD and consult with your medical team.

 

This thorough assessment will also help us determine if you need detoxification prior to treatment and allow the Lasting Recovery team to develop a flexible, individual treatment plan that best meets your needs.  As a result of the medical necessity of a drug rehab, treatment costs are covered by many insurance companies.  

Education

 

We provide comprehensive drug and alcohol education and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) groups at our rehab center that include the use of lecture, video, group discussion and homework assignments to provide you with a forum to process many recovery issues. Our curriculum is based on current research and knowledge of addiction treatment and recovery, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), wellness programming and involvement in a 12 step recovery program. In these groups, you will learn how to overcome and heal the impact substance abuse has had on your brain and body, your emotions, your spirit, your relationships and your family.

 

Topics include:

• Addiction
• Recovery
• Relapse Prevention
• Problem Solving Skills
• Stress Management
• Relationships

Goals

Holistic Health

Research in substance abuse treatment reveals the importance of the physiological impact of excessive alcohol and drug use on one's ability to manage stress in recovery. A holistic approach to recovery helps you learn to heal your whole self - to relieve stress and live your life in balance with natural rhythms and cycles thanks to education in how to pursue balanced health.

 

We include group Wellness sessions in to address recovery in mind, body, and spirit and provide a foundation of balanced health in sobriety.

My experience at Lasting Recovery has far exceeded any other treatment program I have participated in.  Dr. Saalinger is an intuitive, professional and empathetic leader and facilitator. I highly recommend this program to anyone struggling with the disease of addiction.
