Addiction is a disease that holds an individual captive. A person continues to use a substance not out of choice, and they are driven to do “wrong” even though they want to do “right.” However, addiction is treatable, and clients can break free from the bonds of addiction. In order to do so, individuals need to make substantial changes in their lives, which is very difficult. Privacy in addiction treatment can help as it gives individuals the space and time they need. Then, they can learn to understand the underlying causes of their issues with addiction and make changes that help them find a path to lasting recovery.
Privacy in Addiction Treatment
In residential addiction treatment, individuals stay at a treatment center. Structure is an important and necessary part of this type of treatment. It helps clients break the routines, habits, and norms that play a role in their challenges with addiction. However, structure and privacy are two separate things. Individuals can have privacy in the structure of a treatment program.
At Rancho Recovery, residential addiction treatment occurs at a luxurious treatment facility with only six total clients. This low density of clients ensures that each person gets individualized care. However, it also provides a significant amount of privacy. Clients have the space, time, and allowance to explore the grounds, spend time swimming, or using the facility amenities.
Benefits of Privacy in Addiction Treatment
Working with others in group therapy or other aspects of addiction treatment is highly valuable. It helps clients build communication skills, receive and provide support, and become part of a community. However, individuals also greatly benefit from privacy in addiction treatment. While every individual’s experience of addiction treatment is unique, privacy offers a chance for clients to explore the underlying causes of addiction, build new skills, and process the changes that they are and will continue to experience in recovery.
Seeing Underlying Causes
Many risk factors play a role in an individual’s challenges with addiction. Every person has a unique path that has led them to the point of needing treatment. Common risk factors include genetics, family history of addiction or mental health, mental health issues, and abuse. However, how these pieces all fit together is a puzzle that each person must put together on their path to recovery.
Understanding the path that led a person to need addiction treatment is tricky. There is likely a combination of turning points, family dynamics, and stressors. Many parts of treatment help uncover these pieces. However, privacy serves a particularly important role. When an individual feels safe to share, knowing their information is protected, combined with space to think, they are more likely to put these parts together. Privacy helps with both of these aspects.
Building New Skills
After detox, individuals in addiction treatment begin to unwind their challenges with addiction and build new skills. These new skills will help them to make different and better decisions in the future and protect them from future issues with addiction. Treatment at Rancho Recovery for addiction incorporates these new skills from the very start of treatment and supports the continuation through aftercare.
Building new skills is energy-demanding and requires that an individual acknowledges that they lack these skills. This is part of why learning and building new skills is difficult. However, when a person has privacy, they have the space to build and practice these new skills. Part of the practice may be alone. Other aspects may be integrated into a group setting or one-on-one. Either way, privacy facilitates these options in addiction treatment.
Processing Change
Effective treatment for long-term recovery includes a significant amount of change. Individuals must address areas of their lives and relationships that are promoting substance use and addiction. They also need to look at what pieces of their lives are missing, such as a healthy community that could help them maintain their recovery. Every individual’s life and path to recovery is unique. However, the common thread is a need for change, both internally and externally, in a person’s life.
Despite the need for it, change is difficult. This is the reason many individuals are trapped in lives they are unhappy with. In order to truly change, individuals need to process the changes as they come. This includes processing things discussed in therapy, new skills, how they will look in their lives and negative emotions they have avoided.
Every individual processes change differently. For some, speaking with others in group therapy can help them significantly. However, others require a setting where they can think, be alone, and feel at ease with themselves and the world. Privacy allows individuals to choose the way that is most helpful for them to process and take each step toward recovery.
Healing from addiction is complex, and every individual’s path is unique. However, privacy allows every individual to take the time and space they need to heal.
