About Aurora Behavioral Health Care San Diego
Aurora Behavioral Healthcare San Diego Hospital is located in San Diego, California. This is the hospital’s mental health and addiction division. They treat adults, youth and military personnel. As you’ll be treated in the medical health section, they’re equipped to help you with both substance use and any co-occurring mental health disorders.
You’ll be taken through detox which is the first stage of recovery. As your body rids itself of toxins, you may experience withdrawal symptoms. They have staff on hand around the clock to help you get through the process. Detox typically lasts between three and seven days.
They’ll carefully assess your needs using lab tests, evaluations, and how you interact with the others in recovery. You’ll get a personalized recovery plan. Typically this will be made up of solo time with your counselor, group sessions and social time with your fellow patients.
They’ll often involve your family in therapy, as a big key to recovery is support at home. You’ll learn basic living skills such as how to get through challenges without needing chemicals. You’ll be taught holistic skills, such as using breathing techniques to relax. They make sure you’re getting good nutrition to help your body heal.
What I appreciate is that you leave with an aftercare plan. They’ll give you recommendations of groups to join, such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous. Some of these meetings are held at the hospital for your convenience.
You’ll have a team of trained specialists to look after you. It might include a physician, psychiatric nurses, a trained therapist, a social worker and a drug counselor.
