How Does Rehab Work?
Rehabilitation helps people with a substance use disorder start the recovery process in a structured, supportive environment. At Opus Treatment in Orange County, we guide each person through the rehab process, using a personalized treatment plan based on individual needs, levels of care, and mental health status.
The Purpose of Rehabilitation
The goal of rehab is to help individuals stop their dependence on substances and begin a life without drugs. It provides medical care, behavioral therapy, and tools for managing mental health conditions. Rehabilitation process also addresses physical health, emotional healing, and long-term sobriety.
Overcoming Addiction
Overcoming addiction to drugs or alcohol is a lifelong process. Rehab uses evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and family therapy sessions to treat the root causes of substance misuse. Clients work with an addiction specialist, mental health professional, and medical professionals throughout their journey toward recovery.
Structuring the Process
Rehab is designed to follow a clear treatment process. It starts with a comprehensive assessment, moves through detox process, therapy, and ends with aftercare planning. Each step builds toward long-term recovery.
Types of Rehab Programs
Opus Treatment offers a full continuum of care that includes multiple types of treatment options:
Inpatient Rehab
Our Inpatient Treatment Program offers 24/7 care in a safe and structured environment. Clients reside at our facility, receiving continuous medical support, individual therapy, group sessions, and access to various therapeutic activities.
Outpatient Rehab
For those who require flexibility, our Outpatient Treatment Programs allow clients to live at home while attending scheduled treatment sessions. This option is suitable for individuals with strong support systems or less severe substance use issues.
Specialized Programs

Holistic therapies, Art therapy, music therapy, and alternative therapy are available to support every client’s unique path to recovery.
Stages of Rehab
Intake and Assessment
The initial assessment process gathers important information, including medical history, family history, mental health concerns, and the type of drug used. This shapes the care plan and ensures the appropriateness of treatment.
Detoxification
Residential detox or medical detox manages dangerous withdrawal symptoms with 24/7 monitoring. This stage lays the foundation for effective addiction treatment.
Therapy and Counseling
Therapy is central to the rehabilitation process. Clients engage in individual, group, and family therapy sessions to address triggers, develop coping skills, and support emotional healing. We offer various therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns.
Aftercare Support
After treatment, aftercare programs such as sober living environment, ongoing therapy, and 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous or Cocaine Anonymous provide support to reduce relapse rates and maintain recovery from substance addictions.
