Addiction is a disease that affects people from every walk of life – it doesn’t discriminate. It has a negative impact on those who are addicted, as well as their friends, families, and loved ones. If you are struggling with drugs or alcohol, then you know the challenges that come with addiction. However, you don’t have to live that way any longer, you can get help and learn to live a new, sober life. With the proper treatment and tools, and a willingness to do the work, you can turn your life around.

Typically, the first step to recovery is detoxification (detox). In a San Jose detox program, you will be monitored medically as your body rids itself of substances. This is usually a short program but can be longer depending on the substance you used and how long you used them. While in detox, medical professionals will help you stay safe and make it as comfortable for you as possible. The medical supervision is important because some drugs, especially alcohol, can have severe withdrawal symptoms. In fact, abruptly stopping alcohol can result in seizures and even death. That’s why detox programs in San Jose is typically recommended before starting an inpatient or outpatient treatment program.

At an inpatient treatment program, you stay onsite, living at the facility, typically for one month to 90 days. On the other hand, with outpatient treatment, you attend the program several days a week for several hours, but you live at home. Usually, inpatient treatment offers the best chances of long-term sobriety and recovery, but outpatient is also effective for some people. It’s important to discuss your options with your doctor or addiction treatment professionals to determine which program will best suit your needs.
