Treatment and Staff
Treatment begins with an assessment from which an individualized treatment plan is devised. Depending on the severity of their addiction, clients are placed in the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or the outpatient program. Dual diagnosis support is available but those who require detox are referred another facility.
IOP offers treatment three times a week, for three hour sessions. This includes one hour of individual therapy and a couple hours of group therapy. Group topics vary depending on the age group, but may include an introduction to the 12 steps, relapse prevention, peer pressure, self esteem, the disease concept of addiction, family recovery and behavioral issues. Evidence based therapies such as CBT are frequently used and drug and alcohol education is provided. Clients are encouraged to attend outside AA/NA meetings, but not required.
The outpatient program provides treatment once a week, for three hours. This level of care includes group and individual therapy, as well as drug and alcohol education. Topics discussed are similar to the IOP program, but the sessions delve further into defense mechanisms, codependency and stress management.
The staff includes nurses, doctors and CSACs.
Extras
Family therapy is available is both of the programs.
Breathalyzers and urine analysis tests are used as measures of compliance for clients who are court-ordered. Assistance with interventions and tobacco cessation are also available.
This organization offers parenting classes, alcohol and drug education workshops, a video loan library, drug-free workshop training, awareness campaigns and mini grants for local community substance abuse prevention projects, like DARE.
In Summary
