About El Centro de Libertad The Freedom Center
El Centro de Libertad The Freedom Center is a substance use treatment provider in Redwood City, California that offers culturally competent, bilingual care for adults, youth and families.
Founded in 1994 the center combines cognitive behavioral therapy with an abstinence based model across adult and youth intervention, specialty programming and ongoing recovery services.
People often mention the center's positive impact on their recovery, careers and family lives.
Primary Care Program
One of the features I noticed is that outpatient treatment is the core level of care anchored by a 90 day Adult Primary Care program that blends CBT with an abstinence based approach.
This extended timeframe gives you time to focus on your recovery and continue the healing process.
Services include individual and group counseling, co occurring-disorder groups, trauma informed treatment, relapse prevention, drug and alcohol testing and case management treatment plans.
Voluntary Recovery Services continue after you complete the program with monthly counseling and Family Fun Night gatherings. These provide a space for ongoing reunification and sessions to continue develop skills for sobriety.
Serving Adults and Adolescents
I like that the center serves adults working to break cycles of substance use and adolescents ages 13 to 19 through dedicated youth intervention. That provides the specific assistance younger people need for the issues they frequently face.
Specialty services also support individuals involved with Courts, Probation and Child Protective Services including domestic violence classes, anger management, parenting classes and CPS assessments.
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.
Alcohol rehab in California provides professional treatment to guide participants through each step of recovery. Programs offer a support system to walk you through challenges and celebrate victories with you, from detox to long-term sobriety.
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.
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.
The incidence of substance abuse and addiction is higher among the LBGTQ community. That’s why LBGTQ-friendly rehab in California is available, to offer specialized treatment that addresses the unique needs of individuals in this demographic.
Levels of Care
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.
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.
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.
