Rehab is the best way to overcome an addiction to drugs or alcohol.
But leaving your partner behind to complete it isn’t easy. That’s why couples rehab may be a better fit for your needs. It’s a way to get the substance abuse help you need alongside your loved one — giving you a source of support to rely on through the journey.
If you’re interested in learning more, keep reading. We answer the most common questions our team receives about the program below.
Who Is Couples Rehab For?
Couples rehab can be a good fit for any partners who are both experiencing substance abuse. It can work for you whether you’re addicted to heroin, opioids, meth, or any other substance. Plus, the team at Tru Dallas is welcoming to all different types of romantic partnerships.
If you’re wondering whether now is the right time for rehab, look for the following symptoms in you and your partner:
- Using more and more of your substances of choice over time
- Trying to quit on your own and failing repeatedly
- Prioritizing substances over friends, family, and work
- Experiencing increasing withdrawal symptoms and cravings when you don’t use
Anybody with these symptoms is a good candidate for substance abuse treatment. If you and your partner both have these common signs, then there’s a good chance couples rehab would work for you.
The Value of Couples Rehab with Your Partner
You might wonder if couples rehab is a better fit for your needs than a more traditional rehab program. It can be, thanks to each of the following benefits.
In-Program Support in Couples Rehab
First, when you complete rehab with a partner, you benefit from having their support throughout the treatment process. That can make it much easier to get through the ups and downs of rehab, which can be challenging.
Grow Closer Together Through Couples Rehab
Couples rehab can also help you and your loved one grow closer together. You’ll work together, participate in treatment alongside one another, and learn more about the inner workings of each others’ minds. It’s a great opportunity to get help while strengthening your relationship.
Lay the Foundation for a New Life Together with Couples Rehab
Going through substance abuse while in a romantic relationship can put a strain on your connection. If one of you makes progress and the other doesn’t, it may be hard to stay together long-term.
That’s another reason why couples rehab is valuable. It helps you heal from substance abuse while gaining the skills you need to create a healthier relationship moving forward. The treatment you receive can transform your partnership from something that makes you want to use into a resource that keeps you sober.
What To Expect During Couples Rehab
We also receive a lot of questions about what patients should expect when going into a couples rehab program. There are several forms of treatment you’ll receive as part of the process. Here’s a closer look at each to help you prepare.
1-on-1 and Partner Therapy
First, you’ll spend time in therapy sessions. There will be 1-on-1 meetings with a personal therapist and joint sessions with your partner. This ensures you both receive the individualized attention you need to move forward while also getting the opportunity to work together on recovery.
Group Meetings
We also use group meetings as part of our couples rehab programs. Studies show that people who participate in group work tend to get more value out of rehab. You’ll get to share your story, listen to others, and form connections that can help you move on from addiction.
Holistic Healing
Finally, you may also get to join in on some of our holistic healing activities. These are designed to help you feel better physically, emotionally, and spiritually. There’s a lot of research showing that holistic healing helps people move on from addiction. So, we’ll make sure you and your partner have access to this form of support, too.
Couples Rehab FAQs
How long does couples rehab last?
Couples rehab can last anywhere from one to three months. The timeline varies based on how quickly you and your partner respond to treatment, among other factors. If you’re looking for a more personalized answer, consider contacting one of our addiction specialists and sharing your story.
How much does couples rehab cost?
The amount you pay for rehab will depend on your insurance coverage and the facility you choose. At Tru Dallas, we keep prices as affordable as possible and accept insurance plans from most providers.
If you want to know how much you’d pay for couples rehab, contact one of our addiction specialists. They can call your insurance company, verify your coverage, and give you a quote for what you’d pay out-of-pocket.
Will my partner and I receive all the same forms of care in couples rehab?
Yes, most partners end up receiving the same forms of care during couples rehab. However, you won’t necessarily do everything with your partner. For instance, you’ll still participate in 1-on-1 therapy sessions to make sure you’re getting the individual support you need.
What else should we know before starting couples rehab?
One important factor to keep in mind is that rehab is just one part of a broader recovery plan. You’ll still need to start by detoxing and then follow an aftercare plan to transition your recovery out into the real world.
Tru Dallas can help you with each of these steps, as we offer personalized support at every level of substance abuse care. Just contact us to learn more about how we can assist.
