Drug Rehab FAQ: A Guide to Addiction Treatment at Catalina
Whether you are a family member or the person struggling with an addiction, it’s natural to have many concerns about entering a drug rehab program. Our drug rehab FAQs touch on the questions most rehab centers get from patients seeking help.
Do I Need Inpatient Rehab or Outpatient Programs?
Inpatient rehab provides 24-hour services at facilities where patients stay overnight, while outpatient rehab centers offer treatment at set times during the daytime. But how do you know which setting will provide you with a specific plan to meet your recovery goals?
To help you decide, our licensed staff will conduct a thorough initial assessment, including evaluations of physical health, mental health, substance use history, and trauma screening, to create a personalized treatment plan. Based on this appointment, we will help you decide which of our programs will be effective and lasting.
Inpatient Treatment Centers Provide 24/7 Structured Care
Inpatient rehab provides 24-hour services at facilities where patients stay overnight, while outpatient rehab centers offer treatment at set times during the daytime.
Outpatient Treatment Provides Effective Treatment with Greater Flexibility
We offer two options for people who attend Catalina on an outpatient basis:
- Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs) are outpatient programs where individuals spend five days a week, at least six hours daily, in recovery activities while returning home at night.
- Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) meet at least three hours weekly, allowing individuals to maintain their daily responsibilities while receiving treatment.
How Long Are Rehab Center Programs?
Program lengths can vary based on individual needs. Common durations for inpatient programs span from 30 to 90 days, while outpatient programs may last from a few weeks to several months.

What Kind of Clothes and Items Should I Pack?
If you or a loved one have suffered from substance abuse and finally decides to seek treatment, the next questions about rehab you have may be regarding the kind of clothes and items to pack. Generally, any basic clothing items that are modest, comfortable, and appropriate for the climate and weather are accepted by rehab centers.
Here’s a checklist you can use:
- Shoes (comfy shoes for everyday wear, tennis shoes for activities/sports, and flip-flops for the shower).
- Shirts (if bringing tank tops, make sure you also pack cardigans to wear with them to comply with the dress code, which will be different for every treatment center).
- Shorts (may have to be a certain length to comply with the dress code of a rehab center).
- Pants
- Toothbrush and toothpaste
- Shampoo and conditioner
- Deodorant
- Comb/brush
- Hair styling products (pump hair spray only)
- Feminine hygiene products for female patients
The amount of clothes and accessories you need to bring will depend on how long the drug and alcohol rehab program lasts. Furthermore, they should not contain any references to or images of drugs and alcohol. As patients will have access to the laundry room of the rehab center, they don’t have to worry about running out of clean clothes.
All products used by patients will also need to be free of alcohol, including hand sanitizers and mouthwash.

Program lengths can vary based on individual needs. Common durations for inpatient programs span from 30 to 90 days, while outpatient programs may last from a few weeks to several months.
What Happens When You Go to Rehab for a Drug or Alcohol Use Disorder?
Like many rehab centers, new patients at Catalina Behavioral Health will receive an intake and assessment, medical detox, therapy, counseling services, and aftercare planning/relapse prevention support. The goal of attending a rehab center is to give clients the support and resources they will need for long-term recovery.
Can I Take My Prescriptions During Treatment?
One of the most common questions about rehab is whether you can take prescriptions from a doctor during a stay at a treatment center.
Although you can, it’s important to note that medications that aren’t part of the treatment program may bring problems to someone who’s undergoing drug and alcohol rehab. Many facilities will also implement a “no-narcotic policy,” so if you or your loved one need to take narcotics for a medical condition, the treatment facility can help you switch to a non-narcotic alternative.
If you or a family member suffers from substance abuse, expect that the withdrawal symptoms will last from weeks to months – post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS). Thankfully, individual and group therapy can address PAWS. The maintenance therapy involves using medications that can curb cravings for alcohol, such as the following:
- Naltrexone (Vivitrol)
- Acamprosate (Campral)
- Disulfiram (Antabuse)
Do You Have Doctors and Nurses On-site?
Yes. Since our mission is to help as many people overcome their mental health struggles or addiction as possible, we are dedicated to offering individualized and evidence-based treatment programs to all of our clients.

Our rehab center is composed of the top clinical staff members in the country. Hence, if you’re looking to address alcohol use disorders or overcome substance abuse, rest assured that we can resolve various forms of addiction.
Does Your Rehab Treat Dual Diagnosis Clients?
Yes, we do treat dual diagnosis clients. Due to the much-needed facilities required to have successful dual diagnosis treatment, looking for a rehab center that offers a solution for dual diagnosis requires proper planning. Ideally, rehab centers should provide different types of behavioral treatment.
Thankfully, Catalina Behavioral Health has programs that can help a patient overcome any mental health problems caused by substance dependency, such as dual diagnosis. For instance, our trauma-informed treatment models will provide holistic treatment to every client by finding the root of their distress.
What’s Daily Life Like at Catalina?
Daily routines in rehab usually include structured schedules that encompass therapy sessions, meal times, and recreational activities. A structured routine helps to create a sense of stability and support. Patients participate in various scheduled activities, such as individual and group therapy and holistic practices like yoga and meditation.
Do I Need to Go to Rehab or Can I Quit Substance Abuse Alone?
You should never try to quit cold turkey at home. The only safe place is a medically assisted detox center, where staff will monitor your physical and mental health as your body metabolizes and eliminates the substance residue.
- Inpatient detoxification is the highest level of care recommended for individuals needing supervised medical detox to manage withdrawal symptoms safely.
- Outpatient detoxification allows individuals with mild withdrawal symptoms to receive treatment without the need for inpatient care, often involving medication-assisted therapy.
Medically supervised detox is essential for individuals withdrawing from substances like alcohol or benzodiazepines, as it can prevent severe complications and ensure safety during the process.
How Long Does Medical Detox Take?
Detoxification is a critical first step in addiction treatment, as it helps to rid the body of harmful substances and manage withdrawal symptoms. The duration of detox can vary significantly based on the substance used and the individual’s health, typically lasting from a few days to two weeks or longer.

Can Rehab Work if I Have Relapsed in the Past?
Yes, rehab can work if you have relapsed in the past. Knowing how to handle a relapse will allow you to prevent future setbacks and recover much easier if it should happen. Keep in mind that relapse is never too big to recover from, particularly if you or a loved one take these preventive measures:
- Reach out for help
- Attend a self-help group
- Set healthy boundaries
- Engage in self-care
- Avoid triggers
Does Insurance Cover Rehab and Treatment Facilities?
The cost of addiction treatment varies greatly between rehab centers and the type of treatment needed, with some programs being $0 out of pocket after applying benefits. Insurance coverage for rehabilitation often includes private health insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare, but out-of-pocket costs may still apply.
Most private and group health plans cover at least a portion of substance abuse treatment, and some may cover it entirely. It can be confusing, which means it’s essential that our admissions specialists verify coverage with your insurance provider.
We are an in-network provider with most major group and private insurance plans.
Are you ready to learn if your insurance covers your addiction treatment needs? Call our admissions department today; we will take care of those details for you.
Are Other Payment Options Available?
Yes! We accept self-pay clients, which can be necessary if your insurance plan doesn’t cover addiction treatment or if you want the most privacy. Clients can usually use flexible spending plan funds to pay for services at licensed addiction treatment centers like Catalina.
What Are Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders?
A co-occurring disorder, or dual diagnosis, refers to the presence of a substance use disorder that exists alongside a mental health disorder. A common example of dual diagnosis is alcohol use disorder and bipolar disorder.
Other common co-occurring mental health challenges include:
- Major depression
- Anxiety disorders
- Panic disorders
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Personality disorders
- Eating disorders
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Childhood trauma-related mental health challenges
We take a holistic approach to healing, providing therapy for both addiction treatment protocols and therapy for the mental health conditions at the same time. By doing this, we give each client the best chance of lasting recovery.
What Happens in Individual Therapy Sessions?
Our high-quality rehab programs rely on evidence-based behavioral therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These usually happen along with group therapy and family counseling.
These treatments help you learn to identify and confront the unhealthy thoughts that lead to drug use and replace them with new, positive thoughts that support your well-being.
Also, our programs aim at helping you develop new coping skills that will help you stay sober after you leave your treatment program.
These tools are key in helping you maintain sobriety. Some tools you may develop include resisting urges to use, reframing negative self-talk, and body scans to ground you in the present.
Is Group Therapy Effective?
Yes. Group therapy is highly effective when recovering from substance abuse and mental health disorders. Group sessions allow clients to connect with others who understand the nature of addiction and recovery while mastering new coping skills.
Group therapy helps:
- Improve communication skills
- Reduce feelings of isolation
- Build accountability
- Learn relapse prevention skills
- Develop healthy coping mechanisms
- Receive peer support during recovery
At Catalina Behavioral Health, group therapy is led by trained professionals and is often combined with individual therapy and other evidence-based treatment methods for a well-rounded recovery experience.
Will my Loved Ones Attend Family Therapy?
We often recommend family therapy as part of a comprehensive addiction treatment plan. Substance abuse and mental illnesses can impact the entire family system, making loved ones important in the recovery process.
Family therapy may help:
- Improve communication
- Rebuild trust
- Educate loved ones about addiction and recovery
- Establish healthy boundaries
- Strengthen support systems after treatment
Our clinical team will determine whether family therapy is appropriate based on each client’s individual needs and treatment goals.
Will I Have an Aftercare Plan and Ongoing Support When I Leave?
Yes. Before you leave treatment, you will work with a therapist to develop and aftercare plan to support long-term recovery and address relapse prevention.
Aftercare planning may include:
- Outpatient therapy referrals
- Support groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and SMART Recovery
- Medication management
- Relapse prevention planning
- Sober living recommendations
Aftercare planning is important as you return to daily life and face challenges like having free time to fill without your drug of choice or pre-employment drug testing to return to work.
