About Axis Community Health
Based in Pleasanton, California, Axis Community Health provides high quality, accredited and affordable healthcare services, including addiction treatment, to local residents of all ages. It does so through its Federal PHS status and its HHS funding. Various insurance plans are accepted, including MediCal. Fees are determined through a sliding scale.
Flexible Scheduling
Appointments here are available Mondays through Saturdays, with evening sessions also available. I think it's great for individuals who need the flexibility to accommodate their work or academic schedules.
Holistic Drug Rehab Services & Local Referrals
Clients of all ages can access addiction counseling here, helping them better understand their situation and process the emotions and experiences associated with substance use disorders. Methods used include motivational interviewing (MI), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and more.
Screening and Prevention
Screening and prevention services are also available and are also used to evaluate substance use disorders (SUD). Drug testing and medication assisted treatment are also offered. However, it should be noted that this facility cannot provide suboxone/subutex or methadone treatments.
What I think is great is that they offer a list of alternative local facilities they can refer you to that offer these treatments when you would benefit from them.
Addiction Treatment Programs
Typically, a young adult program in California can guide individuals from detox, through initial treatment, and extends to aftercare. Treatment gives young adults what they need to reset their lives and move to the next stage of life free from addiction.
An adult program in California uses various therapeutic methods to treat a person who is dependent on an addictive substance. Individuals aged 18 and older are eligible for treatment, which focuses on breaking the cycle of addiction and learning how to maintain sober living.
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
When a person is struggling with addiction, their actions and emotions may not be rational. Cognitive behavioral therapy in California helps individuals understand better why they feel and act certain ways and how those emotions and actions can lead to substance abuse.
EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.
Levels of Care
When you enter drug rehab in California, detox is the first step towards becoming drug-free. The detox process includes 24/7 monitoring and medical care and may include the use of medications to ease withdrawal symptoms.
Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient rehab in California reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program’s design.
When you choose outpatient rehab in California, you will meet with a counselor and attend support group meetings. The focus will be on restructuring attitudes and thoughts to reduce cravings and develop skills to prevent relapse. The length of time in outpatient rehab varies by individual, based on their recovery needs.
