Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Palo Alto, CA

When I was visiting my friend at Spencer, I noticed how busy they were! They have lots of activities and sessions. I saw even one patient crying being counseled by counselor. My friend told me that he never felt being first time here because the staffs were very accommodating. The facility was also organized and clean. It’s a perfect view residing beside the wonderful beach.

Practical Recovery - Reunion San Diego

My son was a patient at Practical Recovery for three weeks. He did not want to do a 12-Step program, which eliminated about 90 percent of the programs out there. After extensive research, I took a chance with Practical Recovery based on reviews, the staff bios, a phone interview and their overall approach to treating addiction. My son has not had a relapse since being there. The therapists there help clients address the root causes of addiction, be it mental health issues, addictions within the family, physical pain, and predisposition to addiction. This has been life changing for my son. This program was the right program for him. If you are reading this trying to find a place of recovery for a loved one, consider Practical Recovery as a good option. If you have the luxury of time, read the book “Clean: Overcoming Addiction and Ending America's Greatest Tragedy” by David Sheff. He goes into detail about all the types of recovery options. I listened to the audiobook version after sending my son to Practical Recovery. It reconfirmed my choice, for my son.

What to Look at Before Going to a Program Palo Alto, California is a beautiful city located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Named after the El Palo Alto redwood tree, it houses parts of Stanford University, and is the headquarters for a number of technology companies such as Hewlett Packard. Palo Alto is steeped in history but still provides an excellent job market with modern companies. Sadly, Palo Alto has unfortunately high levels of drug and alcohol abuse. According to the 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health over 9 million Americans were users of illicit drugs, not including marijuana. The youthful population of Palo Alto, combined with a high-pressure, competitive job market can lead individuals to seek solace in various substances to deal with the stress. Addiction programs can help these individuals manage their time and stress in healthy ways.What to Look at Before Going to a Rehab Program

Before entering into a drug rehab facility, it is important to consider various aspects of treatment that will help you determine what time of facility best suits your needs.

How severe is your addiction? Different substances can cause stronger levels of dependence - both physical and psychological - than others. These types of substances might require a lengthier stay in a treatment program and perhaps a different style of program all together.
How much do you have to spend on a program? Consider your financial situation when deciding what type of program is best suited for you. Also, do some research and take advantage of programs with flexible payment plans, employee health benefits or your insurance coverage.
How involved do you want your loved ones to be in the treatment process? Most treatment facilities will try and incorporate your loved ones into your recovery, though some may do so more than others.
