Addiction is a complex mental health issue. Succumbing to addiction is not a sign of weakness or immorality. Certain people have genetic or personality traits that make them prone to addiction and it is not their fault. However, it is that person’s responsibility to reach out to get help for their addiction.
The first step to beating addiction is to realize that there is a problem. It’s common for drug or alcohol abusers to be in denial of their problematic usage, especially in its early stages. But once the decision is made to get help, the addicted individual will find that there is a world of support to help them on their journey to recovery.

Recovering from a drug or alcohol addiction is a long-term process that involves various stages of treatment. Much like recovering from a terminal disease, recovering from Substance Use Disorder (SUD) requires a tiered treatment regimen.
3 to 7 Days
The first step in the addiction treatment process is detoxification. During detox, an individual overcomes their physical dependence upon drugs and alcohol.
Detox programs medically assist individuals during the withdrawal process. The length of this process depends on the severity of the addiction and what drugs and alcohol were abused.
During Detoxification, medication-assisted treatment may be used to alleviate the uncomfortable and dangerous effects of withdrawal.
30 Days
Residential or Inpatient Rehab is an intensive phase of addiction treatment. It requires an individual to physically remove themselves from their environment and move into a rehab center.
While in treatment, they can focus completely on their recovery, free from negative influences, outside stressors, and self-destructive behavioral patterns. During this phase, the recovering addict or alcoholic will participate in group therapy, individual counseling, and Addiction Education.
30 to 90 Days
Outpatient Rehab is a step down from a live-in, residential treatment program. Some people opt for this level of care instead of residential rehab so that they can continue to attend school or work. But it is recommended to be used as a third phase in the recovery process.
This helps people in the early stages of recovery slowly transition back into the outside world while still receiving support and positive reinforcement.
3 to 6 Months
Sober Living facilities offer recovering addicts and alcoholics a structured and supportive living environment. People often move into a sober living home after they leave residential treatment.
Staying in sober living serves as a transitional period. It offers people in early sobriety a way to remain accountable without putting their loved ones in the position of having to drug test or monitor them. This is often beneficial for both the person in recovery and their family.
3 to 6 Months
This stage of addiction treatment is often overlooked, but it is crucial to the process. Continuing Care groups usually meet once or twice a week. This allows people in early recovery the chance to check in with their therapists and counselors and attend group counseling.
These sessions typically involve roundtable check-ins where people can talk through their challenges and receive support and advice. This nurturing environment helps prevent relapse.
Drug addiction and alcohol addiction can disrupt the course of someone’s life and affect friends and family members around them. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “addiction is a chronic disease characterized by drug seeking and use that is compulsive, or difficult to control, despite harmful consequences.”
Both short-term and long-term use of drugs or alcohol can lead to addiction, whether it starts from prescribed medication or an occasional weekend escape. For the most part, substance use is a voluntary thing. But as time goes on, repetitive substance use turns into substance abuse. Alcohol and drugs change the brain’s motivations and can cause what is known as Substance Use Disorders.
Substance Use Disorder is synonymous with drug addiction and can have the following side effects:
Addiction commonly pairs with financial irresponsibility. Oftentimes, poor money management has to do with paying for drugs — whether it be dipping into a savings account or stealing from a family member to get high. Other times, gambling or unsustainable spending may be related to their addiction.
Drugs drain the body’s necessary energy systems and can cause visible weight loss or weight gain. Each drug does so differently, but all can cause physical and mental health problems. These issues are extensive, and long-term drug abusers can develop health hurdles that are difficult to jump.
The side effects listed above can directly cause problems at school or work. The decreased mental capacity is the obvious issue here, but the emotional instability and behavioral changes can be the breaking point here. A lack of interest in both school or work is typically the initial step downward.
Substance abuse often starts with a mysterious and secretive lifestyle. As addiction develops, relationship issues can build with family, friends, and spouses. Emotional stability and even mental capacity can change drastically too. And while these changes can be short-lived, but abuse over the years can make them tougher to overcome.
Our inpatient treatment approach is a holistic one where we find and fix all foundational imbalances. We identify environmental, genetic, and psychological factors to evaluate each patient for individual treatment programs.
There are many treatment options out there today, be we pride ourselves on our unique approach to addiction therapy. We offer a mix of a traditional, scientifically-proven addiction model and evidence-based holistic methods.
Our goal is to promote healing. We heal physical and psychological imbalances through various personal and group therapies such as guided meditation, creative art therapies, aromatherapy, yoga, and mind-body therapies.
As we work to bring balance into our patient’s lives, we see that they are more able to face real-world challenges without drugs or alcohol. This internal balance can also be seen to reduce stress and pain and bring optimism and hope. We believe this gives our patients a higher chance for long-term sobriety.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email michael@socalsunrise.com
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to michael@socalsunrise.com
