About Safe Refuge Executive Office
Residential treatment at Safe Refuge, an addiction treatment center in Long Beach, California, runs 30 to 180 days, or longer if it's needed. A stay that long can take you away from work so you'll need to plan for that.
I like that it runs programs for people with low incomes and for people who are homeless, and it admits men and women.
Two apartment buildings and 11 homes on a single block house 89 clients, and the setting is home-like.
Funding and Outpatient Hours
At Safe Refuge, paying for rehab comes from private donations, government grants and private foundations, plus fee-for-service contracts (this doesn't set what you'd owe).
Outpatient care runs in the morning, the afternoon, the evening and on weekends, so I noted that you can keep a job during treatment.
Aftercare at the Long Beach campus can last up to a year after treatment. People who finish the program are offered housing without alcohol or drugs, and the campus has apartments with one, two or three bedrooms, plus wheelchair accessible units.
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.
Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.
Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction treatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.
Music can be extremely therapeutic, serving as a valuable healing tool and an integrative feature of a holistic treatment plan. A music room offers a large number of outlets, including singing, playing musical instruments, and listening to music.
Taking time away from a demanding corporate job to attend drug rehab may seem impossible, but executive drug rehab programs combine cutting edge addiction treatment with executive amenities like Wi-Fi, access to computers, and conference calling so you can take care of your health and stay on top of business.
