Clients who are staying just for our detox stabilization program stay anywhere from 7-10 days. Those individuals who continue into our residential program stay anywhere from 2-4 weeks depending on their specific needs. We understand that some clients cannot stay with us for as long as clinically recommended and in these cases we ask for a commitment to stay as long as medically necessary. Some clients continue into our aftercare program and can receive treatment for a few months. 

As long as these obligations are outside of required treatment hours and they do not disrupt or distract you from participating in your treatment program, some clients are able to continue working or going to school while in treatment. At Capo Canyon we have a dedicated Executive Program for those who need special accommodations for work activities.

When talking with a member of Capo Canyon’s experienced admissions team, you will be asked pre-assessment questions in order to determine your identified needs and whether one of our programs will be best for you. After a clinical assessment is conducted, the most appropriate program and level of care will be recommended. If none of our programs are best suited for your needs, appropriate, vetter referrals will be offered. 

Attempting to get a loved one into treatment can often be frustrating and overwhelming. Having patience is often an important thing we recommend to families. If your loved one is or isn’t ready to commit to a treatment program, the first step is often looking into different programs and narrowing down some options that will be a fit for your loved one’s clinical, demographic and financial needs.

Finding a high-quality treatment program that meets the needs of a loved one can take some time. To ensure it’s a right fit and a quality program, we recommend the following: 

1. Get clear on the finances – what’s included and what’s not included in treatment. If utilizing insurance make sure your insurance is accepted and that you won’t be billed later for services not covered by insurance. 
2. Make sure the program is appropriately accredited and licensed for the type of treatment and level of care your loved one needs. You should be able to verify a program’s licensure status on the state licensing website. Accreditation status for Joint Commission can be found at https://www.qualitycheck.org/ and for CARF at http://www.carf.org/providerSearch.aspx.
3. Ask for specific information regarding program structure and treatment methods utilized. Don’t be afraid to ask for a sample program schedule. 
4. Look at the staff page for the qualifications and specialties of the team. Ask for more information to make sure the staff are experienced and capable of handling your loved one’s treatment needs.
5.  Lastly, if accessible, inquire about touring. We believe your gut feeling is often an important one in making a decision. If you have a good feeling about a program upon seeing and being at the facility as well as in meeting some staff, this can be a positive indicator you’ve found a good fit. 

When appropriate and after a Release of Information (ROI) has been signed for family members, they will be included in weekly clinical updates. Initially, it’s often recommended that family communication be limited between client and loved ones in order for the client to focus on themselves and their foundation in recovery. Family therapy and family participation is initiated a little later in treatment once an individual client is stable and comfortable with their clinical support team and their treatment schedule. 

Smoking cigarettes are allowed in designated outside smoking areas. Vaping is allowed if the vape and all vaping products arrive in its original packaging and unopened at time of admission.
