Get Treatment Beyond Alcohol and Drug Detox

Clinical Preparation

Clinical preparation at Saddleback Recovery addiction treatment center, for substance use disorder is a way to reorganize a client’s full perspective on life. When a person is put in a place where they are able to better understand themselves and create new habits based on healthy choices, growth will occur.

As well, the ability to overcome a challenge, work with others, communicate, address fear and doubt, all of these things are foundational to the work of recovery. As well, they parallel the skills that a person in treatment will be learning.

The preparation phase includes finalizing all the aspects of the next level of care. During their stay, our clients participate in:

Psycho-Educational Groups: DBT, CBT, Anger Management, Communication, and Emotional Intelligence

Recovery Groups: Relapse Prevention, Recovery Principles, Refusal Skills, and Practical Sobriety Tools

Experiential Therapies: Meditation, Mindfulness, Expressive Art Therapy, Yoga, Music Therapy, Life Skills, and Nutritional Cooking Classes
