Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Livermore, CA

The care and concern from the counselors was phenomenal. though the price is expensive, the surroundings are beautiful and the food is gourmet! Counselors are the best around. caring, compassionate and all in recovery. The grounds are very inviting so a sense of calm begins quickly. The compassion of the counselors while I went through 2 weeks of withdrawal from opiates was astounding. Other clients assisted too. I had interaction with every single counselor-either in private session or group. They all are in recovery and they "get us" the food is also outstanding. You sign up for chores daily which really helps you to see how the place runs and also to get to know others quicker. I cannot say enough for SK. They offer a family program indefinitely as well as aftercare for the addict. I am a certified drug and alcohol counselor and if I could I would work there in an instant. I would just volunteer there as well but I live too far away. The owner ... himself runs groups as well as the aftercare. There is one in the city that he comes to sometimes. Otherwise the counselors run it so you continue to have contact with them.

Twenty to 30 years ago, the major substance abuse issue in Livermore was alcoholism.

Today, there are treatment programs in Livermore available for every kind of chemical and non-chemical addiction. All that is required from the addict is a desire for, and commitment to recovery.

What Are The Most Common Addictions?

While illegal narcotics get the most attention in the media, you may be surprised to learn that many common addictions involve substances that are legal - even if methods of obtaining them are not. Alcoholism is the most prevalent addiction, followed by amphetamines. Other common substances regularly abused include:

Inhalants (usually common household products)
Opiates (heroin and prescription pain medication such as Oxycontin and Vicodin)
Cocaine (both in powdered form and as "crack")
Sedatives ("downers," such as tranquilizers)
Nicotine (the highly addictive stimulant found in tobacco)

Hallucinogens, such as LSD and marijuana, are not physically addictive, but can lead to psychological dependence.

What to Ask Before Entering Rehabilitation

Understand that many treatment programs specialize in certain types of addiction - such as alcoholism, opiate abuse and even non-chemical issues like compulsive gambling and sex addiction. If there is actual substance abuse involved, it may be necessary for the patient to go through detox. Ask if this is included in the program, or if you will need to go to a hospital or chemical treatment center beforehand.

You also have the right to ask about staff certification and experience as well as evidence of success in treating patients with issues similar to your own. In addition, it is a good idea to ask about post-treatment support, since recovery is, for most people, a life-long process.
