About Olympia House Rehab – Petaluma
Olympia House is in Petaluma, California. It’s a residential and outpatient rehab for folks with alcohol and substance addictions. They’ll enroll you in detox, medication assisted treatment, and counseling, depending on your needs.
Let’s start with detox. Medical detox consists of receiving meds to help make your withdrawal symptoms less severe. This can include buprenorphine and methadone. Don’t worry about overdosing, since you’ll be monitored throughout the entire process. By controlling your cravings, your detox will be as comfortable as possible. In addition, you’ll also be given counseling sessions to start your recovery.
Once you finish detox and start your long term recovery, there’ll be a lot of counseling and deep reflection. Not only will they help you kick your bad habits, they’ll get you to analyze your motivations for substance use. That way, you can form healthier outlets for your triggers. When you enter the residential program, you can do yoga, gardening, and care for farm animals. You can also participate in 12 Step groups or get help with your marriage and other relationships. The facility has 32 beds, so there’s a close group of peers to help you strengthen your recovery. You look out for them, and they’ll do the same for you.
The outpatient program meets three times per week, from 9am to noon. Here, you’ll continue your recovery but have more flexibility to recover at home with family and your community. You’ll work on life skills so that your daily routines will be healthier and you won’t need to rely on substances anymore.
