We have helped countless individuals to conquer their addiction by means of our extensive treatment methods and recovery principles.

Detoxification

The first step of our treatment program is our detox process. After an individual has abused an addictive substance over an extended period of time a physical dependence occurs and takes over. When dependence or addiction has developed it may be unsafe to abruptly quit without supervision from a medical detoxification procedure. Habit-forming substances such as alcohol, valium, cocaine, heroin, meth, demerol, vicodin and others cause a wide range of withdrawal effects such as agitation, anxiety, insomnia, muscle aches, vomiting, sweating, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, nausea and other symptoms.

At Drug Rehabilitation Center Thousand Oaks we offer the needed medical assistance to make our clients as comfortable as possible in the withdrawal process. We offer 24 hour care and support during this very important first phase in the rehabilitation process. Program participants often express that they feel a great sense of accomplishment once they have finished the detox process.

An essential step in overcoming addiction is to recognize that you have a problem. A person who is in denial about their addiction cannot take strides to fix the problem they deny they have. For many, when it comes to taking a honest look into their addiction situation, along with that requires also to try to figure out why and how they got addicted in the first place. Addiction commonly occurs when someone starts taking the drug or alcohol to self-medicate in order to deal with negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions. If an individual doesn't recognize the source issues guiding their addiction and does not receive help, it will be almost impossible for them to overcome their addiction.

Acknowledging that you have a problem is an extremely important step of recovery from drug addiction or alcoholism. However you must also have the desire to put forth the effort to change your life. Taking a look at all the reasons for making a change will help you navigate the road to recovery. Many say it helps to write down why they want to change. Reasons could be, for example, wanting to be a better parent, be a happier person overall, to feel more accomplished and successful, repair damaged relationships, to be healthy again, or to reverse other negative situations that addiction causes.

Do not just focus on the circumstances and problems caused by your substance abuse, as focusing too much on the negative aspects of the past usually makes one feel hopeless. Rather, focus on your new addiction-free life and recovery. Focus on the positive things that will surely materialize when you have recovered from addiction.
