About PDAP of Ventura County
Palmer Drug Abuse Program (PDAP) is a nonprofit organization that offers outpatient addiction and mental health treatment services for teens. The treatment facility is in Camarillo, California, conveniently located near the 101. The facility accepts private insurance plans, Medicaid, and self pay.
Unique Substance Use Disorder Treatment for Adolescents
Camarillo is in the Pleasant Valley, south of the Santa Susana Mountains. There is a charming Old Town district with lots of outdoor activities and nearby access to Point Mugu Beach.
Many of the teens who come to this outpatient program are high risk due to trauma. Some of them have been removed from their homes due to neglect or abuse.
The counselors at this facility are sensitive to the teens and work to make them feel safe and seen. They encourage the kids to share whatever they’re thinking, and give them the tools they need to help them move away from high risk drug and alcohol use behaviors.
On Campus Mental Health Support
One of the things I like about this program is the on campus mental health support for teens. The organization has contracts with several local school districts, and they send counselors to the middle and high schools. Teens meet regularly with the counselors while they’re on campus, and I like the convenience that affords families and teens.
I think it’s great that this provides ongoing intervention throughout the teens’ school year, which is often impactful in convincing these young students to stop using drugs and alcohol. Additionally, the program helps these teens improve their schoolwork and classroom behavior. They function better both in and out of school as the program fosters better lifestyle choices.
Some high risk youth are referred to the program by teachers, juvenile probation officers, parents, school counselors, and group homes. Certified Addiction Treatment Specialists also facilitate group sessions that combine educational data with discussion about personal experiences regarding the harm drugs and alcohol have caused in their lives. The counselors work to ensure each youth participates in the program for at least six months.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
