First Responder Wellness

About First Responder Wellness – Newport Beach

First Responder Wellness is located in Newport Beach, California. Treatment for mental health and addiction are provided. Residential and outpatient services are available. Their programs are designed to treat the specific needs of firefighters, paramedics, EMT’s, law enforcement offices and corrections officers. Insurance and worker’s compensation are accepted.

Detox will be the first step in the recovery process. During detox you’ll stay in a partially private room where you’re free from distractions. Medication assisted treatment can be provided. You will be under medical supervision and undergo a psychological assessment. During this time your individualized treatment plan will be developed. Your length of stay in detox is flexible. It will depend on your individual needs.

The residential treatment program is not in a hospital setting. You will be in a private home environment. This program is for individuals who need a structured recovery setting. It is for those who have been unsuccessful in intensive outpatient treatment and day treatment. This environment is beneficial for individuals with a history of relapse and those who struggle with dual diagnosis substance abuse and mental health disorders.

Outpatient treatment is also available. Individual and group therapy are included. Other services include chemical dependency education, relapse prevention, trauma services and a 12 Step program.

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

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.
