Basic Principles of Residential Treatment: Our Continuum of Care

The following components make up DreamLife Recovery’s continuum of care. The individualized treatment at our inpatient rehab carries through from admission to aftercare.

  • Admission – The hardest part of recovery is the first step out of your door. Many of our admissions staff have first-hand knowledge of addiction, are in recovery, and have been to treatment themselves, or have experienced a loved one receiving treatment. Starting with admission, our experienced intake counselors assess your needs and determine the best path for your recovery, and a recovery coach is assigned to you. 
  • Detoxification – Detox and withdrawal symptoms can be mild, but their effects may become dangerous without trained medical supervision. DreamLife Recovery provides the care and supervision of trained medical staff who can provide relief from withdrawal symptoms. See more information about Detox at DreamLife Recovery here.
  • Individualized Treatment – We do not use one-size-fits-all approaches to residential treatment. Factors we consider that could impact your treatment strategy include length or type of addiction. We frequently assess your inpatient rehab progress to adjust your treatment plan throughout the program.
  • Counseling – Counseling is a common component of inpatient substance abuse treatment programs, ranging from individual to group sessions. We provide you with community support to foster your improvement both during and after the program.
  • Common Co-occurring Disorders – Because mental health conditions often accompany addiction, we treat co-occurring mental illnesses, including: PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and more.
  • Continuous Medical Assessments – Because proper addiction recovery is vital to your health, we offer continued assessments to make sure your mind and body are healing together. For your safety, we assess your progress throughout the program and adapt your program whenever any changes are needed. 
  • Family Participation – We offer family therapy and encourage your family, or your family of choice, to participate in it. This helps during the treatment process and greatly increases your chances of sustained success once you leave our program. Your family may also benefit from counseling and be able to better help your recovery, as well as process how your addiction has affected their lives.
  • Preparation for Transition – Returning home to loved ones, work, and your newly sober life is never done abruptly or without consideration. Long before you graduate from DreamLife Recovery, our counselors and inpatient drug rehab staff will work with you to prepare you with the tools you need for lifelong success.
  • Aftercare – After facing addiction and spending time in a treatment program, continued support is of the utmost priority. Our aftercare program can ensure that you achieve your goals. Recovering individuals are 10 times more likely to succumb to addiction relapse if they don’t take part in aftercare. We provide continued opportunities after you leave our program to prevent you from relapsing.

Residential Treatment Facility FAQs

Benefits of Residential Rehab Programs

People who seek residential treatment for their addiction are more likely to embrace their recovery and stay in it after they leave a program. Under the guidance of medical and psychological staff in residential drug rehab programs, individuals identify the underlying causes of their addiction and enact a recovery plan that provides them a greater chance of long-lasting recovery than trying to go it alone. Many programs offer aftercare options that allow former clients to receive additional support after they have completed the program.
