About Hogar Crea – Adultos

You’ll find Hogar Crea Adultos in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, an affluent suburb of San Juan. Established in 1968, this nonprofit organization offers various addiction treatment programs for voluntary and court ordered adults and youth.

You can access long term residential rehab, intensive outpatient programs or standard care to meet your recovery goals. They also provide specialized care for people experiencing homelessness, individuals living with HIV/AIDs and mothers with children.

Residential Rehab Treatment Duration

What stands out most to me is their treatment duration. The average length of stay is 18 months. They provide ongoing accommodations and care, including medical services, individual and group therapy, social services and transportation.

With over a year of support, you’ll have plenty of time to rebuild your life and create a solid foundation for lasting recovery. This extended timeframe encourages deeper healing, stronger coping skills and more stability before transitioning back into daily life.

HIV/AIDS Services

I also think it’s beneficial that they provide HIV/AIDS services. They offer transitional housing, early intervention, transportation to medical appointments as well as referral services. You can also access free, rapid HIV tests. These services can help you protect yourself and make informed decisions about your health while working toward recovery.

Criminal Justice Services

Another great feature that caught my eye was their criminal justice services. They offer social adaptation services for people referred by the Courts of Puerto Rico or the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. You’ll benefit from a chance at recovery while gaining the tools to prevent recidivism.

Other Forms of Payment

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Free

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
