How WhiteSands Compares to Other Inpatient Addiction Rehab Centers

While many patients are understandably wary of undertaking the intimidating commitment of entering an inpatient addiction rehabilitation program, we believe it is the smartest and most successful way to recover from substance abuse. What you experience and learn during a short stay in our drug treatment center could prevent you from ever having to return to rehabilitation.

Studies on recovery from addiction show that patients who are admitted to an inpatient medical detox program but refuse to undergo any further treatment are much more likely to return to substance abuse. True rehabilitation requires careful, long-term treatment, and that is what our inpatient rehabilitation programs can provide. In a comfortable and relaxing setting, you will receive constant physical and emotional support from our medical team and from fellow members of the WhiteSands community.

Many patients continue to struggle with difficult medical and psychological issues after the medical detox process is complete, and our inpatient rehabilitation program allows us to monitor your condition and helps to reduce ongoing problems. For example, a member of our psychiatric or counseling team will always be on hand to talk to you if you are feeling distraught, and we may provide you with medications that can reduce cravings or withdrawal symptoms when physical discomfort becomes too difficult to tolerate.

What Are the Goals of Inpatient Addiction Rehab?

The primary goals of inpatient addiction rehab include:

• Develop methods of coping to continue to maintain abstinence and psychiatric stabilization.
• Teach patients relapse prevention strategies and skills to decrease or eliminate the cycle of detoxification and inpatient rehabilitation.
• Provide patients with coping strategies and skills to deal with unresolved grief, depression, and anger issues that may contribute to their mental health struggles.
• Assist patients to develop aftercare treatment plans so they can function effectively in a less restrictive level of care.

What Can Be Expected from Inpatient Rehab at WhiteSands?

Our extensive experience in treating drug addiction and alcoholism has demonstrated that certain medications can be vital in helping some patients attain mental and physical stability. Specifically, we may choose to administer pharmaceuticals that reduce the cravings associated with not using drugs or alcohol, making your recovery more comfortable and also reducing your chances of relapsing.

When it comes to psychological treatments, we tailor our therapy programs to the individual needs of our patients. We equip you with the skills you will need to cope with life’s stresses without turning to substance abuse in the future. Through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), you will gain a better understanding of why you developed a problem with drugs or alcohol in the first place. We also offer family programs that have a therapy component to mend damaged relationships, heal bonds, and teach your loved ones about the highly complex nature of addiction.

What Comes After Inpatient Addiction Rehabilitation?

As you get closer to completing the program, you will be assessed again by our experts. At this point, we are happy to help you make a smooth transition back into society by finding a place for you in our sober living community or locating a support group in your area. The goal of these programs is to help you make a smooth, gradual transition back to independent living. You will be monitored, but you will have more autonomy and freedom than is typically experienced in inpatient programs. You can begin to return to work and engage in family and social commitments that used to be at the center of your life. Additionally, you will continue to form meaningful, long-lasting bonds with people who have been through similar experiences, and these types of mutually supportive bonds can help to ensure that your recovery is permanent.

How Does WhiteSands Compare to Other Treatment Centers?

In every way possible, we consistently provide more than industry standards require. Our clinical and medical staff recognize that we need to provide more in-depth and individualized treatment in order to meet the critical needs of our patients. As a result of our commitment to providing the highest quality of care, we have a higher percentage of patients with sustained recovery.

Let’s explore some of the many ways that WhiteSands Treatment exceeds other inpatient addiction rehab facilities:

• Individual or family therapy five times per week, not just one hour per week like some other centers.
• Truly individualized treatment that results in smaller groups and a high staff-to-patient ratio.
• Full-time skilled and highly-credentialed staff members who are dedicated to all stages of treatment and recovery, resulting in better continuity of care and a total focus on patient outcomes.
• A truly unique Life Skills Program, which increases success when patients leave our treatment facilities and provides continued daily support following discharge.
• Large private rooms with television and private bathrooms.
• Patients can use their electronic devices in their rooms each evening to keep up with loved ones and their lives outside of treatment.
• State-of-the-art recreation center, athletic complex and boxing gym.
• Personal training with professional athletes and coaches.
• Large campus with a swimming pool and basketball and volleyball courts.

When patients aren’t in treatment, they can enjoy our amenities and recreational opportunities that we believe are critically important to their overall addiction treatment experience. A patient’s comfort level during their stay at our inpatient addiction rehab facility has a strong correlation to their success in treatment. We have witnessed that their ability to focus and absorb information is correlated with them feeling calm and comfortable.
