Care teams that practice compassion, empathy, and ethical treatment provide essential support for individuals recovering from substance use disorder (SUD). According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), “Most patients in substance abuse treatment have multiple and complex problems in many aspects of living, including medical and mental illnesses, disrupted relationships, underdeveloped or deteriorated social and vocational skills, impaired performance at work or in school, and legal or financial troubles.”
Newport Beach Recovery Center prioritizes ethical and compassionate care for clients in recovery. We believe treating each client with respect and kindness provides the best outcomes and helps clients successfully overcome challenges that might interfere with healing.
How Does Rehabilitation Affect Long-Term Sobriety
Some people hesitate to participate in professional addiction recovery programs because they do not know how it will help them. Misinformation about treatment can make it difficult to understand that rehabilitation programs provide essential support and relief. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), “Treatment enables people to counteract addiction’s disruptive effects on their brain and behavior and regain control of their lives.” The positive effects of treatment include:
- Lower risk of relapse or overdose
- Increased social support
- Access to essential services like case management and aftercare planning
The admissions assessment will determine if you have any diagnosed or undiagnosed co-occurring disorders that require treatment. A compassionate care team considers any factors that might impact your recovery and fully personalizes treatment and aftercare plans.
How Does Compassionate Care Influence Treatment Services?
Staff who feel passionate about their jobs will treat clients with greater compassion and respect. According to Medsurg Nursing: Official Journal of the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses, “Replacing negative attitudes with evidence-based interventions to treat persons with addiction is key in helping them achieve the highest level of health possible.” Health care professionals who act out of empathy provide the following:
- More relevant referrals
- Effective and practical treatment options
- Additional accommodations for religious, cultural, and personal preferences
Knowing that the people responsible for your care have your best interest at heart can reduce anxiety and stress. Clinicians and staff who genuinely care about you will prioritize a tailored treatment plan, progress check-ins, and aftercare services to meet your unique needs.
A Compassionate Team Increases the Likelihood of a Positive Outcome
Professional addiction recovery programs provide the best possible outcomes for people in recovery. The structure, high-quality care, and dedication to personalized support ensure beneficial treatment. It allows every client to feel safe, comfortable, and supported.
A compassionate care team does the following:
- Values and respects every client
- Provides ethical care
- Ensures clients and staff feel secure
- Goes above and beyond to ensure clients have access to resources
At Newport Beach Recovery Center, we employ a team of dedicated, compassionate workers. They’ll ensure you receive the best care available.
Setting Realistic and Achievable Goals
Your recovery goals will impact the type of treatment you receive and how well you respond to it. Rehabilitation is not a cure; it is vital to set realistic goals. Throughout treatment, your case manager will monitor your progress. They’ll collaborate with you and the care team to ensure you’re on track. Sometimes adjustments need to be made to allow you to reach your recovery goals. Setting clear, achievable goals decreases stress. The goals also make it easier for you to see improvements in your day-to-day life.
A compassionate care team will help you set realistic goals that can include the following:
- Decreasing symptoms
- Creating a safety plan
- Developing relapse prevention strategies
- Increasing support system
- Establishing coping skills
- Reducing anxiety and stress
- Learning how to complete everyday tasks like money budgeting or grocery shopping
- Maintaining a treatment schedule
Every goal you complete is a success that’ll motivate further healing and change. If you ever start to feel overwhelmed by your treatment plan, you can work with your care team to make changes. Personalized treatment at Newport Beach Recovery Center allows clients to go at their own pace and use therapeutic methods that work best for their needs.
The Power of Compassionate Care and Empathy in Recovery
Empathy and compassion during rehabilitation can decrease your risk of relapse. It’ll also help boost your emotional stability. How others treat you will change your thoughts about yourself and the world around you. For many people, making lifestyle changes feels less stressful if their care team shows compassion. Long-term recovery is challenging, and you will feel more positive about treatment if you feel supported.
Many people recovering from SUD feel like their diagnosis takes over their Identity. We believe in using holistic treatment to look beyond your diagnosis. Ultimately, we see you as a person. You deserve kindness and high-quality rehabilitation services. The encouragement and compassion of our care team at Newport Beach Recovery Center can help you heal. When people have your best interest in mind, you can feel more confident in your treatment results.
The outcome of your treatment program will depend on many factors including how well you connect with your care team. A compassionate care team ensures that clients feel safe, heard, understood, and welcomed into the facility. How others treat you during rehabilitation will impact the effectiveness of treatment. It’ll also help you transition into aftercare. In addition to creating a positive treatment environment, compassionate care also provides clients with an opportunity to build trust with their care team.
