Understanding Substance Use Disorder

Substance use disorder (SUD) is a complex condition characterized by the misuse of substances, such as drugs or alcohol, leading to physical and mental health problems, social issues, and economic consequences. It is a treatable condition, and various treatment programs are available to help individuals overcome addiction and achieve recovery.

Symptoms and Signs of Substance Use Disorder

The symptoms and signs of substance use disorder vary based on the type of substance used. There are two groups of symptoms based on when or if the substance is in the body. Symptoms can be physical, emotional, or behavioral. The following are potential signs of substance use disorder:

Tolerance
Withdrawal
Taking the substance in larger amounts or over a longer period than intended
Desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control substance use
Spending a lot of time obtaining or using the substance

Craving or strong desire to use the substance
Continued use despite physical or psychological problems caused or worsened by the substance
Important social, occupational, or recreational activities given up or reduced because of substance use
Continued use despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or worsened by the substance

Drug and Alcohol Detox

Detox is often the first crucial step in overcoming substance abuse. Detox is the process by which the body clears itself of drugs or alcohol, enabling the individual to start treatment with a clean slate. However, detoxing from addictive substances can be uncomfortable and, in some cases, dangerous. This is why Surf City Detox offers medically supervised detox services to ensure clients have a safe, comfortable experience as they rid their bodies of harmful substances.

During detox at Surf City Detox, our team of medical professionals closely monitors each client’s physical and mental health. We prescribe medications to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and prevent complications. This compassionate care ensures that each client can start their journey to recovery in the best possible state. For many, detox can be the most daunting part of the recovery process, but Surf City Detox’s trained professionals are there every step of the way to provide support and care.

Residential Treatment in Huntington Beach

For those needing a more intensive treatment experience, our residential program provides a structured environment designed to promote healing and recovery. Residential treatment involves living on-site at the facility and participating in a variety of therapies and activities that are carefully designed to address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Outpatient treatment offers a flexible alternative for those who need to balance treatment with daily responsibilities.

Surf City Detox’s residential program in Huntington Beach combines traditional treatment methods, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

The peaceful setting of Huntington Beach enhances the residential experience, allowing clients to take advantage of Southern California’s serene beaches, which can be instrumental in their healing journey. By stepping away from the triggers and stresses of daily life, individuals in residential treatment can focus fully on recovery in a calm, supportive environment.

Dual Diagnosis Program for Substance Use Disorder

A dual diagnosis program is essential for individuals dealing with both substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Untreated mental health conditions often contribute to substance use, and in many cases, addiction can exacerbate mental health symptoms. At Surf City Detox, the dual diagnosis program is designed to treat both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously, providing clients with a comprehensive approach to their recovery.

The clinical team at Surf City Detox includes mental health specialists who work closely with addiction counselors to create an integrated treatment plan. This plan addresses each client’s unique mental health needs, ensuring they receive appropriate therapy, medication management (if needed), and coping strategies to manage symptoms. The goal is to help clients understand the connection between their mental health and substance use, empowering them to develop healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges and reducing the risk of relapse.

Therapies and Interventions for Mental Health

Therapies and interventions play a crucial role in the treatment of substance use disorder. Behavioral therapies, in particular, have been shown to be effective in helping individuals overcome addiction.

Behavioral Therapies

Behavioral therapies are a type of psychotherapy that focuses on changing maladaptive behaviors and thought patterns. They are often used in conjunction with medication to treat substance use disorder. Behavioral therapies can help individuals:

Identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors
Develop coping skills and strategies for managing cravings and avoiding relapse
Improve relationships and communication skills
Address underlying mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety

Common types of behavioral therapies used to treat substance use disorder include:

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
Contingency management
Motivational interviewing
Relapse prevention therapy

These therapies can be delivered in various settings, including individual and group therapy sessions, and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual.

Gender-Specific Treatment Programs

Recognizing that men and women often have different experiences with drug addiction and recovery, Surf City Detox offers gender-specific treatment programs to provide a more focused and supportive environment. Gender-specific programs help create a safe space where clients feel comfortable sharing their struggles, fostering stronger connections, and building a supportive recovery community. Here’s what each program entails:

Rehab for Women

Women face unique challenges in addiction and recovery, often influenced by factors such as trauma, family responsibilities, societal expectations, and mental health concerns. Surf City Detox’s rehab program for women provides a safe and supportive space for women to address these issues openly. The program includes trauma-informed care, which recognizes that many women in treatment have experienced past trauma that may have contributed to their substance use. Additionally, the program includes access to specialized mental health services tailored to meet the needs of women in recovery.

The women’s program also includes group therapy sessions where women can connect, share their stories, and support one another through the recovery process. Specialized therapies, such as mindfulness and self-care practices, are integrated to help women rebuild self-esteem, develop positive coping mechanisms, and regain a sense of control over their lives.

Rehab for Men

Men in addiction recovery often face distinct challenges, including societal pressures around masculinity and self-sufficiency, which can make it difficult for them to seek help. Surf City Detox’s rehab for men focuses on creating an environment where men feel comfortable expressing vulnerability and receiving support. The program includes tailored treatment models to address substance dependence among men, helping them explore the underlying issues that contribute to addiction, such as stress, work pressures, and unresolved trauma.

The men’s program includes individual and group therapy sessions, life skills training, and activities that encourage open communication and peer support. This program provides a safe space where men can build connections with others facing similar struggles and gain tools for long-term sobriety and emotional resilience.
