About Waymakers Children’s Crisis Youth Shelter
Waymakers in Laguna Beach, California is a children’s shelter for kids in crisis. These children have run away, are being abused, or are being displaced by their family who are unable to care for the child due to mental health and substance use issues. Other children treated include those who are at risk for one of these scenarios.
Children ages 11 to 17 are offered immediate emergency shelter here. The shelter offers a different option other than hospitalization in a facility that is not specialized in children with these needs and disorders. While this isn’t a dedicated addiction treatment facility, they do help with addiction in youth and families.
Substance Use Counseling and Therapy
The shelter offers a home like feel which will allow your child to quickly become comfortable and at ease with their new environment. Individual counseling will give your child personalized time with a therapist and psychiatrist to address your child’s specific issues.
Group therapy will allow your child to form friendships and have discussions with peers who have similar issues. The children are a source of empathy and encouragement for each other while at the shelter.
Service to Help Build a Healthy Future
Children are counseled on current and future educational achievements. Teens who are close to graduating from high school can receive assistance applying to colleges or trade schools too.
Children are taught how to properly deal with problems that come their way. Life skills development education teaches children how to assert self control when offered substances. They will learn conflict resolution and how to say “no” to the option of substance use.
Through personal therapy, children find their inner strength and realize they have control of their life and environment. This promotes healthy choices when the children reenter the community.
Family Reunification Program
We have seen parents who loved their children but were unable to find a resolution and are concerned about their child’s safety or their own safety. We see the family reunification program at this shelter as a way to slowly allow families to heal broken bonds and teach families best methods for communicating with their child.
Amenities
Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.
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.
Gender-specific addiction treatment programs may be more effective in treating men because they focus on unique needs of males. Men’s rehab in California is designed to help men process emotions and cope with stress in a judgment-free environment.
Women’s rehab in California provides a safe environment where women can work through addiction challenges surrounded by their gender peers. This often creates an environment that is more conducive to recovery.
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.
Levels of Care
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 have a co-occurring disorder, it is essential to treat both your addiction and the mental health disorder. California dual diagnosis treatment provides this type of multidisciplinary approach, for improved recovery outcomes.
Intervention services in California provide the support you need to encourage a loved one to make wise recovery decisions. Professionals will help you work with your loved one to develop an intervention plan and get him or her started on their recovery journey.
