Substance abuse is a difficult thing to deal with, in every stage. It’s not always easy to know when the use of recreational drugs or the enjoyment of a few drinks while out with friends has crossed the line and become a problem. But if there’s any question about whether a problem exists, it’s never a bad idea to talk to a professional. Studies have shown that the best way to prevent drug or alcohol dependency, even for people with genetic dispositions, is to never allow consumption to reach the level where physical or psychological dependency develops at all. But once you cross the line into addiction, Meadow Creek Recovery is here for you.

When this stage of substance use is reached, the chances of being able to resolve the problem successfully on your own plummet. Once addiction has taken hold, a structured addiction recovery program from caring and compassionate professionals will likely be the best hope for staying substance free.

Meadow Creek drug rehab centers enable real recovery, using proven and effective treatment methods. As a client, once you’re accepted into our substance abuse treatment facility in San Rafael, California, you’ll be tended to by trained professionals and given the highest quality of care, using best-practices established within our network of treatment facilities over years of successfully rehabilitating clients.

The first thing that you’ll encounter upon entering the drug rehab facility is our special program of supervised detoxification. This program is designed to safely wean those with physical dependencies on substances of abuse off of those drugs, allowing for a comfortable and symptom free detox period. For those who have become physically dependent on substances, it is extremely important to undergo detoxification within a qualified addiction recovery center. Attempting detoxification on your own can be dangerous and is strongly discouraged. Our San Rafael drug detox clinic can ensure a safe transition to sobriety and will allow our clients to immediately enter an intensive treatment plan.

After the initial detoxification, our clients begin the next step of the addiction recovery process: diagnosing any underlying conditions that may be causing or contributing to the substance use. Our client will find the addiction treatment facility where they reside to be staffed by psychologists and other treatment specialists who can quickly and accurately diagnose underlying mental health conditions that may be driving the substance abuse problem.

Recent science has indicated that substance abuse is a mental health issue. Much analysis has been done that has shown that up to 50 percent of people with substance abuse issues also have underlying mental health problems. Likewise, many with mental health concerns will often self-medicate, leading to substance abuse issues. A well-known consequence of the abuse of drugs is that their use can lead to a wide spectrum of mental health conditions. It is this closely intertwined, vicious feedback loop that makes accurate diagnoses of all the underlying or comorbid conditions that the client may be suffering from absolutely imperative.

Once any dual diagnoses have been made, our clients enter the daily routine at our San Rafael addiction recovery facility. There, they will experience the first-class care that our friendly and experienced staff give to all of our clients. The treatment plan will always be tailored directly to the client’s needs, heavily informed by the client’s treatment goals.

Meadow Creek Recovery and our addiction treatment center in San Rafael, California make good use of the community reinforcement model of addiction treatment. This is a proven and effective means of treating addiction. It uses the reinforcement of the community of recovering peers as a support network, helping the client during times of craving. Our centers provide a safe and friendly atmosphere that foments strong community bonds. These bonds help our clients pull through the inevitable difficulties that arise along the road to recovery.
