Treatment
Alcoholism
People with alcoholism (also known as alcohol dependence or alcohol use disorder) do not have reliable control of their alcohol use. They experience withdrawal symptoms if drinking suddenly stops. Due to these symptoms, medical detox is often best for those who seek treatment for alcohol addiction. Once this supervised process is complete, alcohol rehab in Oklahoma can provide further treatment and follow-up for recovery.
Drug Addiction
To address the issues of addiction, each drug rehab in Oklahoma is tailored to meet the individual’s needs. Treatment may occur in a residential or outpatient setting, and may last from a few days to several months.
Opioid 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 Abuse
Addiction treatment programs in Oklahoma help individuals to address substance abuse problems. With various programs available, including outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization, you can find the right level of care. Typically, you can expect treatment programs to incorporate evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), skills training, recovery meetings, and mindfulness-based therapy. When integrated, these therapeutic interventions can help you successfully overcome substance abuse and continue to enjoy long-term mental health.

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.
Sober Living Homes
Each sober living home in Oklahoma is a substance-free environment where residents can get support from others who are in recovery. Intensive treatment is not provided, but recovery meeting attendance is typically required. Residents must also maintain household duties and pay rent. There is no time limit for how long residents can stay, as long as they continue to abide by the established halfway house rules.
12-Step
12 step programs invoke spiritual principles to promote participants’ psychological and emotional growth and healing, though religious affiliation is not required. Their primary treatment modalities include intensive peer support and recovery-focused life skills training based on the 12 steps of recovery. Participants regularly engage in peer-led group meetings, which are free, anonymous, and available throughout the day and night in most communities. Sponsors provide one-on-one mentoring as participants cultivate self-awareness, forgiveness, acceptance, and accountability.
