in Medford, MA
Advanced Addiction Center is a substance abuse rehab in Medford, Massachusetts. Our day program provides intensive treatment for substance use disorders and teaches individuals skills to maintain their sobriety. If you’re struggling with addiction, day programming may be the answer for you.
What is a Day Program?
A Day Program rehab is a compassionate and effective approach to addiction treatment that offers individuals a structured and supportive path to recovery. It serves as a crucial bridge between inpatient or residential care and traditional outpatient services. Day programming caters to individuals who require intensive treatment but can still return home each day after their therapeutic sessions.
Our program provides a carefully crafted daily schedule that acts as a guiding compass during the recovery journey. Within this structured framework, patients engage in a range of therapeutic activities, including both individual and group therapy sessions. These sessions offer a safe and nurturing space to explore the complexities of addiction, learn essential coping strategies, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Day Program Rehab Treatments
Day program rehabs involve a range of treatments, activities, and therapies tailored to support individuals in their journey toward sobriety. Here are some key components typically involved in day rehab:
Psychoeducation
Education is a cornerstone of day programming, where participants gain a deep understanding of addiction and acquire valuable tools to prevent relapse. This knowledge empowers individuals to take control of their lives and make healthier choices.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one counseling sessions with a therapist or counselor are a fundamental part of day programming. These sessions provide a safe space for individuals to explore their personal struggles, triggers, and underlying issues related to addiction. Therapists work collaboratively with clients to set goals and develop coping strategies.
Group Therapy
Group therapy sessions bring together individuals who are facing similar challenges. These sessions foster a sense of community and provide opportunities for participants to share their experiences, offer support, and learn from one another. Group therapy also helps individuals build social and communication skills.
Family Therapy
Family involvement is encouraged and welcomed whenever possible, recognizing the crucial role that loved ones play in the recovery process. Their support and understanding can be a beacon of hope for individuals in treatment.
Holistic Therapies
Day programs often include holistic therapies such as yoga, meditation, art therapy, and mindfulness exercises. These activities promote overall well-being, stress reduction, and emotional healing.
Peer Support
Connecting with peers who have experienced similar struggles can be highly motivating and reassuring. Peer support groups or 12-step meetings are often incorporated into day programs.
Life Skills Training
Learning practical life skills, such as budgeting, time management, and job readiness, helps individuals reintegrate into society successfully and reduces the risk of relapse.
Relapse Prevention Planning
Participants work with therapists to develop a relapse prevention plan tailored to their specific triggers and challenges. This plan equips individuals with strategies to cope with high-risk situations and prevent relapse.
Regular Assessments
Ongoing assessments and progress evaluations help treatment teams adjust the program as needed to ensure it remains effective.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
For those who may benefit from it, day programming also provides access to medication-assisted treatment and management. This approach combines therapy with medications when appropriate, enhancing the chances of successful recovery.
How Long is Day Program Treatment?
The duration of a Day Program can vary depending on several factors, including the individual’s specific needs, progress in treatment, and the treatment center’s policies. Typically, day programs are designed to be more intensive than standard outpatient programs but less restrictive than inpatient or residential programs. A day program may last a few weeks to a couple of months. After completing this program, it’s important to continue treatment in a less intensive treatment program. Remember that recovery is an ongoing process and you will have to work each day to maintain sobriety.
Is a Day Program Right for You?
Day programming is most beneficial for individuals who have successfully completed detoxification, inpatient rehabilitation, or intensive outpatient treatment, and now seek ongoing support and therapy to maintain their sobriety. Because day treatment is an outpatient program, it’s crucial that the person receiving treatment has a supportive home environment and lives in a drug-free setting. If your home situation is not conducive to maintaining sobriety and supports or encourages substance use, an inpatient program, which provides round-the-clock recovery support, may be a more suitable option for you. A day program is also an excellent choice for those who need intensive treatment and a higher level of care but cannot commit to a residential program. Additionally, individuals with acute substance abuse issues can also consider this outpatient treatment option. Our dedicated team assesses each individual’s unique circumstances to provide guidance on the most appropriate path for their recovery, whether that entails day programs with us or a recommendation for inpatient treatment if necessary. Your well-being and successful recovery are our top priorities.
Addiction Treatment Programs at Advanced Addiction Center
At Advanced Addiction Center we provide outpatient addiction services in Medford, Massachusetts. We treat women and men who are 18 years or older. If our day program rehab isn’t right for you, then you may consider one of our other rehab programs.
Outpatient Treatment
Our outpatient rehab program is perfect for those with a mild addiction case or for someone who is transitioning out of more intensive care, such as residential, IOP, or day programming. Outpatient programs include addiction therapy and treatments several days a week and allow clients to return home after treatment each day.
Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP)
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are a medium between inpatient and outpatient care. IOP has a highly structured plan for individuals but treatments aren’t daily. Typically, an individual will receive treatment for 5-7 days in IOP.
Dual Diagnosis
If you’re struggling with your mental health and substance abuse concurrently, then you may benefit from our dual diagnosis program which treats co-occurring disorders. Since mental illness and addiction can exasperate the other it’s important to treat both conditions at the same time.
