First Steps Recovery

About First Steps Recovery – Clovis, California

First Steps Recovery is a comprehensive drug and alcohol detox and rehab facility in Clovis, California. They offer help for addiction and co-occurring disorders through their residential, partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs. They accept insurance from most major providers including TRICARE for the military and veterans.

The facility is licensed and accredited by The Joint Commission. They use evidence-based as well as experiential and holistic therapies. The program starts with medical detox. This is the process where you rid your body of the harmful substances you’ve been using. They use medications during detox if necessary to help you get safely through the hardest withdrawal symptoms.

After detox, you can go into the residential treatment program. You’ll live in a structured environment with supervision around the clock. You’ll have access to therapy to address your substance use and any co-occurring disorders you may have. Co-occurring (dual diagnosis) disorders are things like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. It’s important to treat your underlying mental health issues because those issues often drive substance use.

During residential treatment, you’ll have individual and group therapy, including trauma-informed therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), narrative therapy and experiential therapy.

You’ll have a chance to exercise, do yoga and engage in equine therapy. They offer many other types of therapy that you may or may not use depending on your unique situation. If appropriate, your family may also be involved in some of your therapy. You’ll work on aftercare planning to continue your sober journey after you finish the program.

There’s also a PHP that’s a step down from inpatient care. Some patients go from the inpatient program to the PHP because it’s an intensive, structured program but you can live at home. You can also start in the PHP if you don’t need the full residential program. You’ll receive many of the same treatments you get in the inpatient program.

The center offers an IOP too. The IOP offers the most flexibility so you can attend daily therapy but still meet family and work commitments. You’ll have a supportive community and individualized treatment. The IOP also offers many other therapies, such as equine, art, and meditation.
