Balboa Horizons 90 Day Program Rehab

Evidence is building to support the 90-day rehabilitation model, which was stumbled upon by Alcoholics Anonymous where it is suggested that new members attend at least one meeting a day for the first 90 days of recovery. Research indicates that the 90-day time frame is approximately how long it takes the brain to recover from the immediate effects of drug or alcohol abuse. Researchers at Yale have documented what they call The Sleeper Effect, a gradual re-engaging of proper decision-making and analytical functions in the brain’s prefrontal cortex after an addict has sustained from use for at least 90 days. Although 90-days has become widely accepted as the typical duration of an initial stay in a rehabilitation center, it is by no means a concrete time frame for everyone seeking treatment. We understand that each case is different and includes various factors that will affect the duration of treatment required, however, we do support the 90-day treatment model as a solid starting point.

Balboa Horizons’ 90-Day Extended Care Treatment is the core of our holistic healing program for women. Overwhelming evidence shows that 90 days sober marks the beginning of both the physical and mental benefits of sobriety. However, our program is designed to do much more that simply give our clients 90 days of sobriety. It is about giving them the appropriate amount of care to foster a continued recovery. We believe that our 90-Day Extended Care Program provides a solid foundation for lasting sobriety.

In a study released in April 2007, the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs stated the following:
Women differ from men in many aspects, including: their reasons for initiating substance abuse, the consequences they experience, the barriers and motivations for entering treatment, treatment services needed, relapse risks and recovery support needs.
The report suggests gender-specific treatment as the most successful method of rehabilitation, and goes on to conclude that effective gender-specific programs possess the following characteristics: read more...

Transitional sober living program for women in Newport Beach california: Balboa Horizons for women 866.316.4102: "Transitional Living/Extended Care provides the women who complete our 90 day addiction treatment program the option of continuing their recovery at a reduced rate. Transitional Living/Extended Care is an excellent way for our women to stabilize, while feeling safe and supported when embarking on their new life in recovery. Transitional Sober Living offers a 'higher level of care' than sober living homes, and is the optimum way to complete a residential inpatient addiction treatment program, and the best way to gain insurance for lasting sobriety.

Some residents of Balboa Horizons have continued with us for up to 12 months or more, and once they transition back to normal society, have had excellent success in maintaining their new sober life style. When some women have spent years repeating the same destructive behavior patterns, it makes sense that the longer time spent in our Transitional Living/Extended Care addiction rehabilitation treatment program the better."

90 Days Is A Good Time Amount to Start With in Recovery

August 2007 – One important discovery: evidence is building to support the 90-day rehabilitation model, which was stumbled upon by AA (new members are advised to attend a meeting a day for the first 90 days) and is the duration of a typical stint in a drug-treatment program.

It turns out that this is just about how long it takes for the brain to reset itself and shake off the immediate influence of a drug. Researchers at Yale University have documented what they call the sleeper effect--a gradual re-engaging of proper decision making and analytical functions in the brain's prefrontal cortex--after an addict has abstained for at least 90 days.
