About Families Forward
Life is full of twists and turns, and sometimes, some of us need a little extra support to navigate the journey. That’s where LifeStance Health in San Diego comes in. They used to be known as Family Forward. They offer compassionate, comprehensive and personalized mental health care in California that helps both individuals and families create healthier and more fulfilling lives. And care is available for nearly every age group, from children and teens to adults and seniors.
A Place To Feel Understood and Supported
Their team gets that mental health support isn’t a one-size-fits-all. Therapists specialize in one aspect of mental health support, like substance use disorders or depression. All team members are licensed therapists, psychologists or psychiatrists and create an individualized care plan for a person’s needs. Plus, I really like that in-person and virtual therapy sessions are made an option. I think this adds a whole level of flexibility to receiving personalized mental health care.
Another cool option offered is their dedicated programs for eating disorders and mid-life crises. These conditions can impact substance misuse, and treatment is available to address these underlying conditions. There are a ton of different health insurance plans Family Forward accepts too, like Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Aetna.
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.
For those who are struggling with opioid use disorder, help is available at opioid rehab in California. This complex addiction can be treated through a combination of evidence-based therapies and medication assisted treatment.
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.
Community support and relationship-building are key elements of aftercare rehab in California. You’ll receive recovery coaching, social support, and mentors to help you maintain sobriety after completing initial rehab treatment. This support will continue as long as you need it, which could be weeks or more than a year.
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.
California sober living has been shown to reduce relapse and improve recovery. These programs offer highly-structured living environments for those who desire to remain sober. House rules usually include abstinence from substances, participation in 12-step meetings, and contribution to household responsibilities.
