When many people think of alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers and facilities they think of the major centers providing services to a very large number of both residential as well as day patients. On the other hand, there are also smaller Pasadena treatment centers providing treatment to a very close-knit and small group of clients.
For many addicts, being around large groups of people can be overwhelming. These feelings can be especially problematic if they have been isolated and relatively marginalized throughout their addiction. The smaller Pasadena treatment centers where the staff and clients are consistent and familiar is often a better match for people, especially in the early stages of recovery.
A Personal Touch
There are Pasadena treatment centers that are very clinical in their look as well as the way they manage programs, activities and groups. These are often the larger hospital or court ordered types of treatment facilities.
In the private Pasadena treatment centers, clients will find more of a range of different housing options and treatment facilities. You can even find outstanding treatment and care in smaller facilities operating out of renovated homes in quiet neighborhoods, perfect for a very personal touch during your stay.
Staff Interaction
Another benefit to small sized, personalized Pasadena treatment centers is the interaction between staff and clients. Clients will quickly establish a rapport with the caring, compassionate and experienced staff, helping to ease the challenges of being in treatment.
In addition, counselors, therapists, and medical professionals will be familiar. There won’t be the big turnover of staff found in a large treatment facility or a more clinical setting.
Treatment Periods
Many of the large treatment facilities are set up for 28 to 30-day stays. These may work for some clients, but for others a 60 or 90-day stay may be more beneficial.
With a smaller facility, there is typically more flexibility and more accommodation to create the treatment program that works for the client, and not trying to get the client to work to the treatment program.
Always do your research on the facility and talk to the Pasadena treatment centers you are considering before making a decision to attend. You may want to write down questions you have and take notes, then compare the different facilities to see if a larger or smaller treatment center is the best for your needs.
