The city of Redlands is located in San Bernardino County, California. It is home to about 75,000 residents and is about 50 miles northwest of Palm Springs. Though often sunny and pleasant, Redlands does have its share of the county’s challenges related to rampant drug and alcohol abuse problems.
Part of the Inland Empire region of California, Redlands hasn’t been affected as harshly by heroin overdoses and deaths as the rest of the state, but the abuse of other drugs is widespread in the community. The biggest problems in Redlands comes from alcohol, methamphetamine, and prescription benzodiazepines and opioids. Prescription drug use is so ubiquitous that hospitals and doctors’ offices are seeing average, hardworking people develop drug addictions after being prescribed strong painkillers for legitimate medical reasons. These individuals never sought illegal drugs or intended to get involved with them. Unfortunately, that is often where prescription drug addiction leads. Additionally, alcohol is a big problem. It continues to be the number one addiction that affects Redlands, the state of California, and the country as a whole.
Addiction affects people everywhere, from every walk of life – it simply doesn’t discriminate. Redlands is not exempt from drug and alcohol addiction, there are many people there who are struggling to get out of its strong grasp. Fortunately, there is help available for people in Redlands who want to break the cycle of addiction.
Redlands offers various types of drug and alcohol treatment programs and facilities. There are detoxification programs, outpatient treatments, partial hospitalization programs, inpatient treatment programs, short-term and long-term programs, and others. Additionally, there are various addiction treatment modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, activity therapy, trauma therapy, therapy for co-occurring disorders, and others.
Typically, drug and alcohol treatment begins with detox. When you go to a detox facility, you will be medically supervised as your body rids itself of the substances you’ve used. This is an important first step because the withdrawal symptoms from some substances, especially alcohol, can be quite dangerous – even leading to death. Being monitored and receiving medication-assisted treatment will make your detox more comfortable and much safer than doing it on your own.
After detox, it will almost certainly be recommended that you continue to either inpatient or outpatient treatment. It’s important that you attend a drug and alcohol treatment program after detox because that is where the real work starts. You will receive addiction education, therapy, 12-step meetings, learn life and coping skills, relapse prevention, and aftercare. Living in Redlands with a drug or alcohol addiction doesn’t have to be your life, you can get help and start fresh with a new life in recovery.
For some people seeking help for drug or alcohol addiction, traveling away from home is a good choice, for various reasons. Sometimes, it’s as simple as the best fit not being located nearby. Each treatment facility is different, offering different therapies and living environments, and treating different types of addictions. Your choices may be limited where you live, making traveling the best option for finding the right facility and program for you.
Additionally, going to another city or state for treatment may help you have a mindset of starting fresh in your new life of sobriety. This can be a great emotional benefit to traveling for treatment. You’re also more likely to complete your program when it’s not so close to home that you can just decide to leave. Travel arrangements would have to be made, and that may give you time to change your mind and stay.
It’s important to choose a drug and alcohol treatment program that is right for you. When you find one that aligns with your needs, your chances of successful recovery increase. As you decide where to go, there are a few factors to consider:
If you are like many other addiction treatment seekers, then you are probably intimidated by the potential cost of attending rehab. The truth is that the cost of treatment varies widely depending on various factors. The type of facility, type of treatment, how long the program is, and any specialized treatments all play a part in how much it will cost.
The good news is, in California (including Redlands) there are many different facilities that charge many different amounts for drug and alcohol treatment. It’s true that you can find some luxury rehabs that cost more than $1,000 a day, but you can also find low-cost and no-cost treatment centers that offer very effective programs. They may not have all the bells and whistles, but you can definitely get sober and learn how to stay sober when you attend one of them.
The important thing to remember is that no matter what your budget is, you can find help. It is also critical to remember that the financial cost of long-term addiction is far greater than the cost of treatment.
Most of the people who attend drug and alcohol rehab use their healthcare insurance to help cover the cost. In the state of California, insurance providers are required to cover at least part of the cost of behavioral health services, which includes addiction treatment. The exact amount that your healthcare insurance will provide depends on your individual policy. You can contact your insurance company to find out what is covered, or you can talk with an admissions representative at the facility of your choice and they will do a benefits check for you.
If you don’t have health insurance coverage to help with the cost of treatment, you still have options. You can talk with the rehabs you’re interested in and find out if they do any kind of sliding scale or financial aid (like scholarships), or if they will set up a payment plan with you that will allow you to make payments over time. There are also free drug and alcohol treatment centers that you can look into. If that is the route you choose, you may have to be put on a waiting list to get in, so you will have to be patient.
Failing the above, you can ask loved ones if they will help you pay the cost of rehab, or see if you can get a personal loan from your bank to pay for it.
