Detoxification from alcohol and other drugs is often a necessary first step on the road to recovery. Typically, detox lasts from 3-5 days during which time the patient follows a medical protocol, which significantly reduces withdrawal symptoms until the detox is complete. After a successful detox the patient is ready for the next level of care. Some will remain inpatient and some will transition to an outpatient level of care. The Rehab Program addresses the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the disease of addiction. Through participating in daily groups, individual and family counseling and educational/experiential sessions, the patients develop an understanding of themselves and their disease which is the groundwork for recovery and healing. The length of stay for rehab is based on the individual needs of the patient. The Dual Diagnosis Program is designed for those who suffer from a psychiatric disorder and an addiction. A dual diagnosis patient may experience major depression, anxiety, panic attacks, bipolar disorder or other psychiatric problems. These patients participate in all aspects of the rehab program and also see a psychiatrist for a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. The psychiatrist also meets with the patient for medication management as necessary. Dually diagnosed patients participate in mental health groups that are specifically designed for their particular issues. These groups include Depressive Disorders, Bipolar Disorder and Anxiety Disorders. The length of stay for the dual program is based on the individual needs of the patient. The Intensive Outpatient Program allows participants to reside at home and conduct their lives while benefiting from a structured and supportive level of care that meets three times a week. The three-hour sessions consist of educational and group therapy components, and are conducted mornings and evenings in order to accommodate participant’s varied work schedules. The Intensive Outpatient Program can either be the initial treatment experience for the participant or the next level of care after completing an inpatient program. Client and therapist meet once a week to discuss and explore issues of early recovery. Themes that may emerge are relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, physical and emotional trauma, spirituality and other life issues. |
