6 Ways Personalized Recovery Supports Long-Term Success

Facilities like Newport Beach Recovery Center offer personalized programs for people struggling with substance use disorder (SUD) and dual diagnosis. We believe everyone deserves to receive individualized treatment and services during rehabilitation. There are several factors; past trauma, cultural traditions, religious beliefs, and previous experiences with treatment all impact how you react to rehabilitation programs. We assess your needs and create a tailored plan to give you the best outcome possible. In addition to receiving high-quality treatment on-site, you will also have access to outside resources, including self-help and 12-Step groups, community assistance, and appropriate medical care.

How Does Newport Beach Recovery Center Personalize Care?

Newport Beach Recovery Center personalizes care by doing the following:

  • Ensuring all individual and group therapy sessions address the specific needs of each client
  • Accommodating personal, religious, and cultural traditions, including providing access to alternative holistic therapies
  • Collaborating closely with clients when creating treatment and aftercare plans
  • Providing an intimate, family-like setting that encourages healing and self-growth
  • Allowing clients to incorporate activities they enjoy into the treatment program

Clients undergo mandatory assessments and testing during admissions to ensure our care team knows what factors to consider throughout treatment. According to the National Library of Medicine (NLM), “Individualized treatment plans should consider age, gender identity, race and ethnicity, language, health literacy, religion/spirituality, sexual orientation, culture, trauma history, and co-occurring physical and mental health problems.” In addition, our staff talks with each client to determine what aspects of their personal beliefs and preferences to incorporate during treatment planning.

6 Ways Personalized Care Enhances the Effectiveness of Treatment

Treatment is more effective when it takes place in an environment that uses individualized care to ensure every part of the rehabilitation caters to the client. We individualize therapy groups and individual sessions by learning what truly motivates our clients, and we work with them to create a treatment plan tailored to their lifestyle and goals. Below are six ways personalized care can improve your treatment outcome.

#1. Reduced Risk of Relapse

Relapse prevention is one of the primary goals of outpatient treatment. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), “Through its emphasis on short-term behavioral goals, individualized counseling helps the patient develop coping strategies and tools to abstain from drug use and maintain abstinence.” In addition, the personalized treatment allows you to work with your therapist to create a strategy for relapse prevention that addresses issues you will face at home, work, or school during continuing care.

#2. More Relevant Group Therapy and Activities

All therapy groups and social activities at Newport Beach Recovery Center consider each client’s history, current disorders, triggers, and preferences to ensure people feel safe and comfortable. In addition, we often group people with similar life experiences. We also have gender-specific groups that address the various motivations and underlying issues for men, women, and individuals who identify as non-binary.

#3. More Individualized Trauma Treatment

Most people with SUD have a history of trauma from experiencing or witnessing something distressing. The risk factors for trauma and substance misuse overlap, and we treat both conditions concurrently to ensure a healthy recovery. A trauma-focused approach to treatment can enhance the effectiveness of therapy and peer support. We use personal assessments to determine how best to tailor your treatment plan to decrease re-traumatization risk.

#4. Lower Risk of Developing Co-Occurring Disorders

Personalized care lowers your risk of developing co-occurring disorders during treatment and continuing care. You will have access to the resources and tools you need to cope with daily stressors related to recovery. Your mental health will improve more quickly with this type of targeted treatment.

#5. Healthier Treatment Environment

The environment at facilities like Newport Beach Recovery Center reinforces healthy social interactions. In addition, individualized treatment plans create a more inclusive space by providing a family-like community, encouraging peer support, and offering appropriate accommodations when necessary.

#6. Efficient and Effective Treatment Planning

Efficient and effective treatment planning requires team collaboration to ensure we tailor program features to the needs of each client. You will benefit from a compassionate team of professionals working with you to create a treatment and aftercare plan that will prepare you for long-term recovery.

Why We Offer Personalized Care

We strive to provide personalized care to clients struggling with SUD and co-occurring conditions. Individuals who have attended other facilities might be familiar with the extreme limitations of standardized care that do not accommodate personal needs.

Personalized care can do the following:

  • Improve communication between client and care team
  • Enhance the effectiveness of individual and group therapy
  • Ensure a safe and secure environment
  • Provide services and alternative therapies relevant to your long-term recovery

Facilities that do not have individualized treatment cannot offer the same level of support, meaning clients in standardized programs may have a more difficult time coping during aftercare.

You can maintain sobriety long-term with the help of coping skills, recovery resources, and a healthy support system. We ensure you have the tools to transition to ongoing recovery with personalized treatment and aftercare planning. Many forms of peer support are available during treatment and aftercare, including group therapy, self-help groups, 12-Step groups, advocacy organizations, recovery events, and volunteer opportunities where peers can work together to serve their community. The Newport Beach Recovery Center care team will match you with groups and individual therapies to ensure you have the best outcome possible. We also offer alumni services, including referrals to group therapy and community services in your area, where you can connect to peers and get personalized care.

Benefits of Individualized Addiction Treatment

The intimate setting at Newport Beach Recovery Center allows us to provide genuine, individualized care. Treatment groups are kept small, and we tailor each to meet the specific needs of participants. Clients and the care team collaborate to create a treatment setting that ensures the best possible recovery outcome. 

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), “Because recovery is a highly individualized process, recovery services and supports must be… flexible.†Newport Beach Recovery Center is an inclusive co-ed facility that provides high-quality treatment for individuals recovering from substance use disorder (SUD) and co-occurring conditions. Every person in recovery has unique risk factors, underlying issues, and goals that we consider when creating treatment plans and preventative strategies. 

Why We Offer Individualized Care

Many rehabilitation facilities claim to offer personalized care. However, we deliver it daily. The relationship with each client starts with a comprehensive admissions assessment that provides support and information relevant to their specific situation. We offer individualized care because it truly makes a difference in the lives of our clients. 

Tailored treatment does the following: 

  • Lowers the risk of relapse.
  • Creates a safe and welcoming community.
  • Provides a new approach for clients who have not had success at other facilities.
  • Ensures relevant relapse prevention and aftercare planning.

We want to give clients every advantage to help them achieve and maintain sobriety. Our goal is to provide excellent services and treatment options for clients seeking help regaining control of their life. We believe in our clients and go the extra mile to help them achieve recovery goals and maintain emotional stability. 

Recovering From SUD in a Personalized Environment

Recovery is a process that involves addressing and treating any underlying causes of addictive behaviors as well as the side effects or symptoms of SUD. Every level of care addresses physical and mental health in the context of recovery. We believe a personalized environment provides better outcomes for clients with SUD and dual diagnosis. Several ways our individualized care can benefit clients include: 

  • Having access to relevant resources
  • Utilizing specialized individual and group therapies
  • Facilitating greater one-on-one support from the care team
  • Having access to additional natural or holistic therapies

Many clients get prescribed medication to help them manage symptoms during treatment. Our team monitors medication to ensure clients receive the correct dose. We also coordinate with medical professionals to ensure clients receive prescribed medications only when necessary. Throughout the program, we conduct progress check-ins to determine if treatments, including prescribed medications, need to be adjusted to meet recovery goals. 

Personalizing Recovery Goals and Case Management 

Case managers are responsible for client advocacy and ensuring that everyone has access to high-quality treatments and program services. Our case managers collaborate closely with clients and the rest of the care team to ensure everyone is on the same page and that the treatment plan is adjusted as necessary to keep the client’s recovery on track. 

According to SAMHSA: 

  • “Case management is framed around screening to identify a patient’s medical, psychosocial, behavioral, and functional needs, and then working directly and/or through community resources to address these needs while the SUD is treated.
  • Case management is increasingly used to support treatment engagement and retention while reducing the impact of SUDs on the community. 
  • The SUD treatment program can select a case management model that matches its treatment approach and best suits its patients and the service setting.
  • In any type of case management model employed, all care team members should contribute to and endorse the patient’s treatment plan and effectively communicate with each other as the plan is implemented.”

Individualized Care and Long-Term Recovery

The success of long-term recovery depends on multiple factors, including: 

  • Coping skills
  • Crisis management 
  • Aftercare planning 
  • Alumni support
  • Community resources
  • Level of engagement in therapy
  • Peer support

Many clients feel confident about their sobriety while under the structured care of a rehabilitation facility. However, the transition to sober living or life outside of the treatment setting can feel overwhelming. At Newport Beach Recovery Center, we provide every possible tool and resource to ensure that our clients know how to cope with stressors related to long-term recovery. Individualized treatment plans ensure they have access to essential aftercare support. 

Collaboration During Treatment and Aftercare Planning 

Every member of our team is available to help clients overcome challenges related to recovery. Our services include aftercare planning and alumni services to ensure clients have the resources they need to continue healing. A personalized aftercare plan helps to smooth the transition between structured care and ongoing independent recovery by providing clients with the following: 

  • Referrals and information about local resources
  • Relapse prevention strategies
  • The creation of a safety plan
  • Assistance applying for housing, financial, or job placement services
  • Details on self-help and 12-Step groups

Research has proven that individualized care can make an individual’s treatment and recovery experience more effective and can encourage greater treatment engagement. The dedicated team at Newport Beach Recovery Center uses comprehensive assessments and individualized care to ensure everyone who comes to us for help gets the support and tools they need to achieve and maintain sobriety. We believe you can regain control of your life with the help of individualized care. We offer compassionate and tailored treatment for SUD and related mental health issues to ensure you have the best possible outcome. You are not alone.

Benefits of Gender-Specific Care

Newport Beach Recovery Center is a co-ed treatment facility that encourages healthy peer interactions. We use gender-specific care to ensure all clients receive access to the resources and support they need to heal from the effects of substance use disorder (SUD) and related mental health issues. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), “Substance use disorders may progress differently for women than for men.†We use gender-specific care and gender-focused group therapy to ensure all our clients participate in effective treatment relevant to their lived experiences.

How Does Gender-Specific Care Relate to Addiction Recovery?

Gender-specific care is a valuable part of treatment for all clients, especially for individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+. Addictive behaviors often have motivations and underlying causes that statistically differ based on several factors, including age and gender. According to the previously mentioned research published by NIDA, “Women are more likely to seek treatment for dependence on sedatives such as anti-anxiety and sleep medications.†In addition, “They typically enter substance use disorder treatment with more severe medical, behavioral, psychological, and social problems.†In contrast, men are more likely to be diagnosed with SUD related to alcohol, marijuana, and pain relievers.

Gender-specific care targets the side effects, symptoms, and possible causes of SUD experienced by specific clients. In most cases, the differences in motivation and risk factors for men and women require tailored treatments. Our dedicated team of experts uses gender-focused therapy to ensure men and women have an opportunity to explore various aspects of their recovery and rehabilitation that might not be accessible in co-ed-only groups. We want to give clients every resource possible to help them grow and heal.

Treatment Differences Between Genders

Treatment can differ slightly between genders due to typical issues faced by each group. In addition, many individuals in recovery feel more comfortable discussing sensitive topics with others who can relate to their personal experiences. Men and women may have difficulty interacting with the opposite gender due to trauma or stigmas associated with certain sensitive topics.

Some of the benefits include:

  • People often feel more comfortable being vulnerable in same-sex groups
  • The subjects covered in gender-specific therapy are more relevant to the participants
  • Gender-focused treatment can provide more significant relief and improve symptom management

The treatments we use will depend on the client’s relationship with SUD and any co-occurring conditions. The care team at Newport Beach Recovery Center collaborates with each client to ensure they join the therapy groups that best address their symptoms and recovery goals.

Feeling Comfortable Discussing Sensitive Topics

Some topics are more sensitive, and clients may not feel comfortable disclosing details about them during co-ed therapy sessions. Rehabilitation programs are often short-term, and gender-specific care is an excellent way to make noticeable progress within a limited time frame. Clients who feel accepted and understood in a recovery community are more likely to actively participate in group therapy and activities.

Gender-specific care can empower people to be more vulnerable and improve the following:

  • Self-confidence
  • Self-esteem
  • Self-efficacy
  • Accountability
  • Honest communication
  • Peer encouragement
  • Social skills

Group therapy allows clients to share their thoughts, feelings, successes, and worries without judgment. We have created a family-like environment where everyone can feel confident communicating their needs and preferences. We believe that clients should be able to choose what direction their treatment takes because their inner strength and motivation will determine how effectively they can use the tools we provide.

The Science Behind Gender-Specific Care

In recent years, gender-specific care has become more prevalent in mental health, medical, and substance misuse treatment centers. Research has shown that it works effectively with vulnerable populations. In addition to providing valuable skill development to men and women in recovery, gender-focused therapy also ensures that transgender, non-binary, and other people who identify as LGBTQIA+ can have gender-affirming care during rehabilitation.

Science has proven that each gender often benefits from unique approaches to treatment. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), “National data consistently shows that gender is an important factor to consider when examining patterns of substance abuse.” The differences between genders “may help inform the design of prevention, outreach, and treatment services for specific gender and age groups.” We use comprehensive assessments to determine which treatment options will benefit each client.

Aftercare and Gender-Specific Referrals

Men and women can benefit from different aftercare resources. Newport Beach Recovery Center provides referrals to every relevant service, program, and advocacy group that can assist clients in maintaining sobriety and healthy behaviors. A few ways we tailor aftercare to specific needs include:

  • Providing information on gender-specific support and self-help groups
  • Referring clients to doctor and therapist offices that specialize in gender-specific care
  • Assisting clients in locating and applying for gender-specific local, state, and federal resources
  • Providing details on gender-affirming resources for individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+

Gender-specific care allows individuals to engage with others who share similar life experiences. Being comfortable with peers in recovery can make opening up during discussions about vulnerable subjects easier, enhancing the effectiveness of group therapy and community activities. We understand that you might feel safer interacting with peers who have similar motivations and goals. Statistically, each gender has different risk factors and certain treatments that work best for them. We use a comprehensive admissions assessment to determine which groups you would most benefit from joining during rehabilitation. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide which groups you will feel most comfortable participating joining. Newport Beach Recovery Center accommodates and celebrates diversity. Individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+ can choose which gender-focused group to join. Find out more about our services and programs by calling our office today at (888) 850-0363.
