Top employers in the city include Azusa Unified School District, Northrop Grumman and Azusa Pacific University.
While the majority of Azusa, California's residents live stable upstanding lives, there are those who struggle with alcohol and substance abuse issues. These individuals often require treatment to overcome their dependence on their drug of choice and develop new ways of handling life clean and sober. The area has a local drug rehab program as well as several more in nearby cities and towns. These programs offer a wide range of services including: short/long term treatment, dual diagnosis and gender specific rehab. Choosing the right program is generally determined by the severity of the addiction problem (if they individual is physically addicted to the substance), if they have been through treatment before and if they are willing to enroll in an inpatient or residential program. Once these questions have been answered it is easier to select what type of program will best meet the addicted individual's recovery needs.
As you can probably imagine, not every substance abuse treatment facility in Azusa is the same. As a matter of fact, each of the programs you encounter will have their own individual idea as to what excellent treatment is all about.
In the same way, the protocols applied at a center will mostly depend on the individual philosophy the facility is founded upon. These categories, however, can be combined in various ways. As an example, you may come across spiritually-based substance abuse treatment facilities that also use evidence-based therapies.
In most cases, you may find that every drug and alcohol rehab facility will emphasize a specific approach. This is how most of these centers are classified. That said, the most common types of alcohol and drug rehabs include:
Evidence-based alcohol and drug rehab centers usually base their treatment on the research in addiction treatment. As such, they will offer care that is mostly focused on the mental and emotional in addition to ancillary protocols that are research and scientifically based from proven results and case studies.
At these programs, the treatment therapies applied often change regularly dependent upon the results from the most recent results in the research and scientific work.
Faith-based alcohol and drug rehab centers, however, put their attention on the religious aspects of rehab. As a result, most of them lean on the twelve step philosophies combined with religious ritual - such as prayers.
The fundamental belief in most of these facilities is that sobriety comes from the Lord. In the U.S. - a mostly Christian area - most spiritually-based centers are Christian. But, there are some drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that focus on treating people from other religions and faiths.
In most cases, you will find that these recovery rehabs are funded by religious group - as an example, the Salvation Army has treatment programs. That said, most spiritually-based centers also provide philosophies based on abstinence.
Most of these centers base their recovery therapies and offerings on the 12-step programs in addition to the literature produced by Alcoholics Anonymous and its various offshoots.
To this end, most of these programs require that you engage in meetings, group work, and finding a sponsor. During these activities, you will go through the steps that will enable you to look at your addiction from the 12-step point of view.
Some of the centers in Azusa that are based on the twelve steps of addiction recovery may also offer other treatment protocols - such as complementary therapeutic practices and one-on-one psychotherapy.
Pharmacotherapy-based rehabs look at addiction disorders as conditions that should be managed medically - in a similar was you would deal with other conditions like cancer.
As a result, they often write a prescription for such meds as Suboxone and methadone to manage an addiction.
These kinds of drug and alcohol treatment programs are, however, sometimes classified as harm reducing because they can transfer your addiction from one substance to another. As an example, the Suboxone or methadone might take the place of heroin.
But, there are medications that have been proven of deterring active alcohol abuse. For instance, Antabuse makes and alcoholic sick when they drink. As a result, this treatment approach is useful at managing addiction and reducing harm.
Some alcohol and drug treatment facilities are unique and not suited to any of the methods described here so far. These programs offer remedies that are not proven and may be experimental.
Alternatively, these rehabs report that their way of handling addiction issues is unique to them. But, they are questionable because they might not be able to provide you with proof of success or be able to provide evidence about their theories.
These are drug and alcohol rehab centers that hold the belief that individuals suffering from addiction and a variety of substance use disorders are not completely capable of abstinence or that they do not want to stop using drugs and alcohol entirely.
These drug and alcohol rehab programs, instead, go with the belief that addicts can consume less of the drugs or alcohol. Based on this belief, they argue that it's okay to enjoy a glass or so of wine or beer during lunch or dinner and will teach the patients how to do this with success. While going through this, you may learn how to control your addiction while still allowing for some substance use.
Many harm-reduction drug and alcohol treatment facilities are found outside the reaches of traditional addiction treatment centers. A good example would be a needle exchange program.
The intention behind these plans is that not every addicted person is prepared for or wants guidance. Therefore, they are aimed at attempting to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases such as hepatitis and HIV by providing IV drug users with clean needles free of charge. By so doing, they reduce the risk of disease transmittal that occurs from drug abuse, although addicts continue using as they did before the intervention.
