About Ken Seeley Communities – Palm Springs

Ken Seeley, an addiction specialist, is the owner and founder of the Joint Commission accredited Ken Seeley Communities, a comprehensive substance use and mental health disorder treatment center. The center is at 1900 East Tahquitz Canyon Way in Palm Springs, California. They offer a variety of programs, including a dual diagnosis program for clients with substance use and mental health challenges. They offer residential and outpatient treatment. They accept most major insurance plans.

One of the more unique programs this facility offers is the couples drug rehab program. The program treats partners together while teaching them to establish and respect personal boundaries.

Couples stay in separate rooms so they can each focus on recovery. However, there are couples therapy sessions that help partners improve communication, address their relationship dynamics, and learn to resolve conflicts constructively. Each partner attends individual therapy to work on their own needs as well.

This program encourages partners to accept accountability and break patterns of co dependency. The care is comprehensive and begins with detox if necessary.

Palm Springs is famous for its midcentury modern architecture, spas, wellness retreats, and vibrant LGBTQ+ community. The SUD program is also inclusive and has a specialty addiction treatment program for LGBTQ+ clients.

The treatment team understands that discrimination and marginalization within the community lead to increased rates of addiction and mental health issues. The program includes group, individual, and family therapy. The family therapists have special training to work with families to promote healing and acceptance of their LGBTQ+ family members.

Another specialty at this center is the dual diagnosis treatment track. Undiagnosed mental health problems are prevalent in people who use substances. Identifying underlying mental health issues helps clients get to the bottom of their substance use.

The dual diagnosis program addresses SUD and mental health simultaneously and empowers clients with helpful strategies to manage both. This reduces relapse and helps clients live up to their full potential.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

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.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

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.
