At Baja Rehab, we aim to provide clear and comprehensive information to help you feel more comfortable and prepared. Here are some frequently asked questions about rehab and what you need to know.

Rehabilitation, or rehab, is a structured program designed to help individuals overcome substance abuse and addiction. It provides a supportive environment where people can detox, receive therapy, and learn skills to maintain long-term sobriety.

If you find that substance use is negatively impacting your life, relationships, job, or health, it may be time to consider rehab. Signs include unsuccessful attempts to quit, withdrawal symptoms, and continued use despite adverse consequences.

There are several types of rehab programs, including:

Inpatient Rehab Clients live at the facility and receive 24/7 care.

Outpatient Rehab Clients live at home and attend treatment sessions during the day or evening.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) A more intensive form of outpatient care that involves frequent sessions.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) Clients receive intensive treatment during the day but return home at night.

Detox is the process of eliminating substances from the body. It can be physically and emotionally challenging, but at Baja Rehab, we provide medical supervision and support to ensure safety and comfort during this critical phase.
