Newark

A drug treatment center like Legacy Healing Center provides Newark residents with the safe atmosphere they need to focus on overcoming their addiction. One of the leading benefits of opting to go to a drug treatment facility when you are ready to address your habit is to make a conscious effort to change the people, places, and things around you that may contribute to your addiction.

A drug treatment center provides you with the structure you need to help you overcome your addiction. Each day you will participate in different forms of therapy that will help you address your addiction and have access to a variety of amenities that will help you begin to heal physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

An alcohol addiction can be something that can be particularly difficult to overcome since alcohol is so readily available in our society. Throughout Newark, there are plenty of liquor stores that open as early as 9 AM and a variety of bars and restaurants that begin to serve alcohol mid-morning. As a result, the temptation to consume your drink of choice can be influential throughout the day.  

Coming to Legacy Healing provides you with the peace of mind of knowing that you are removing yourself from that influence until you can get yourself in a place where you can manage this temptation without beginning in this type of environment. We will provide you with the tools and resources you need to work through the negative emotions or thoughts you will undoubtedly feel at specific recovery points.  

Addiction Treatment Centers
for Newark Residents 

If you have never been to an addiction treatment center before you went through a program at a different location, you may feel apprehensive about what you can expect when you come to Legacy for your care. Your day will revolve around actively participating in various forms of therapy. One example of a therapy that you will experience on a regular basis is group therapy. Group therapy gives you the chance to connect with other people struggling through their own bouts of addiction. During group therapy, you will have guided discussions with other members in your group that cover different topics associated with addiction, recovery, and sobriety.  

Individual therapy is another example of counseling that will play an essential role in your recovery. There may be certain events in your life that you may not feel comfortable talking about in a group setting or with other Legacy clients. During individual counseling, you will meet with a member of our staff in a personalized environment so you can begin to address these traumas. Whether you have experienced an event that caused depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress, you can rest assured that our counselors will help you work through these issues in hopes of removing the severe impact they had on you. These sessions are also an excellent time to review your treatment plan to ensure you are progressing through your program in a healthy manner.  

It’s not uncommon for a person suffering from addiction to struggle with some form of mental illness. At Legacy Healing, we believe that mental illness is not something that should bring you shame. Our behavioral therapy will help you address both your addiction and any lingering mental health issues. We believe that this form of treatment will help remove the negative stigma associated with mental health.  

Another type of therapy that we offer at Legacy is family therapy. Sadly, when a family member is addicted to drugs or alcohol, addiction tends to impact every family member in some way. Whether feelings of contention start to develop or relationships may simply fall apart, there is always some element of harm that comes with a loved one and addiction. Family therapy can help you, and your family members begin to put your relationship back together. These sessions are held in a neutral setting, so everyone feels comfortable, and they are only scheduled once our team and you feel as though you are ready to participate in a healthy manner in each session.  

How Much Does Rehab Cost?  

One of the aspects of enrolling in an addiction treatment program that tends to cause our clients’ stress entails treatment costs. A leading reason why clients decide to trust the Legacy team with their recovery is that we work with you personally to develop a treatment program that will address their exact needs and sobriety goals. Due to this, it’s impossible to estimate each treatment program’s cost.  

We do believe that every person struggling with addiction should have the opportunity to overcome that addiction if they wish to. We work with and accept various private insurance carriers and do everything we can to arrange for you to come to Legacy Healing regardless of your financial restrictions. If you have concerns regarding your care cost, we recommend you still reach out to us and speak to one of our recovery specialists. They can provide you with more information on what we can do to accommodate your stay.

How Does Drug Detox Work?  

Detox should be another critical component of your treatment plan. If you are still in active addiction, we will always recommend you first work through our drug detox program to ensure you can begin your treatment plan with a mind and a body free of any influences. The main reason for this is that if you start a treatment program and are still under the influence of your drug of choice, you may not have the ability to participate in your recovery in a meaningful way. By taking the opportunity to remove the drug from your body, you have an increased possibility of achieving the lifelong sobriety that you are working toward.  

You must never attempt to detox process unless you are under the care of a medical professional trained to be on the lookout for withdrawal symptoms that may cause serious harm to you. In general, you will likely feel that you are combatting a bad case of the flu. One of our recovery specialists will provide you with a more comprehensive understanding of what you may experience during your time in detox.  

How Does Alcohol Detox Work? 

 The process of working through an alcohol detox program is similar to that of a drug detox program. It is a process that you should never attempt by yourself as you may experience specific withdrawal symptoms that may stop you from properly caring for yourself. The symptoms of alcohol withdrawal will typically set in within a few hours when you had your last drink. In many cases, clients have reported that they feel nauseous, increasing anxiety and general shakiness.  

The symptoms usually dissipate within a few days; however, it’s not uncommon for a person who is going through the detox process to also suffer from a seizure in more severe cases. Seizures can quickly become an extreme medical emergency, and if the effects of seizure are not addressed quickly, it could potentially result in death. This possibility is just one more reason why it is so vital that you never try to go through withdrawals by yourself.  

How Long Is Rehab?  

As part of collaborating with the Legacy Healing team regarding your treatment plan, one of the decisions you will need to make revolves around your program’s duration. We realize that the “one-size-fits-all” approach can never apply to recovery, which is why we offer our clients the opportunity to take part in an inpatient or outpatient program that can last 30, 60, or 90 days.  

There are tremendous benefits of each treatment plan duration. During your first 30 days, you will begin to understand what it is like to live life as a sober individual. These initial 30 days will be influential on your overall recovery. A 30-day treatment plan is also a perfect solution for a person who realizes they need help with addiction but may not have the flexibility to commit to a more extended treatment plan. However, keep in mind that you can also request to extend your treatment plan at any point by meeting with a member of our team.  

Our 60 or 90-day program provides you with an ample opportunity to address your addiction. You will have the chance to build upon the important lessons you learned in your first 30 days and learn more about how you can apply them to your life’s different everyday aspects.  

Does My Insurance Have
Coverage for Rehab?  

Over the past few years, addiction has been more of a serious concern among the general public as well as medical professionals. In response to the understanding that addiction is a disease and not something that a person merely asks for, many private insurance companies are now willing to help offset the cost associated with your treatment plan.  

In some cases, your insurance plan may cover your entire car costs. However, in other cases, there may be certain limitations in what is covered. For instance, many insurance carriers will not cover any expenses associated with a detox program, or the insurance provider may only allow for a certain amount of days at treatment.  

We realize that trying to discern precisely what is covered under your insurance plan may be overwhelming and confusing, especially when you are still struggling with active addiction. If you have private insurance, we recommend that you let one of our recovery specialists know when you first reach out to us. We can help you cut through the red tape of insurance companies to ensure you feel your plan’s full benefits.
