Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Livermore, CA

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.

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:

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

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.

If you are having difficulty in determining which rehab program in Livermore is best for you, please call us today. A certified counselor will be happy to speak with you and put you in touch with a suitable treatment center specializing in your particular issue.
