Our individual and group addiction activities and services are provided through our outpatient programs. Delivered in a carefully structured environment, we assist adult service recipients in both beginning their recovery journey, and then successfully continuing in sobriety through in-depth counseling and training workshops that teach real-world actionable recovery maintenance skills that have been proven effective.
We also understand that no one patient is the same. Everyone comes for a unique background, a unique mix of circumstances and experiences, and everyone has their own set of hopes and dreams for their life. Our approach to each patient takes into account this mix of uniqueness, and it is from that patient blueprint that our team works to begin laying out a path forward for each patient that’s geared toward helping them achieve and maintain sobriety, so that they can live the clean and healthy life that they were meant to live.
Our outpatient services include, but not limited to:
Individual And Group Counseling And Support
All our individual and group support and counseling sessions are provided at least four times a week. These sessions work to help patients identify, confront, and learn to work past persistent underlying causes of their addiction, such as home life, family, childhood trauma, and fears in order to work towards a stable life of recovery.
Family Counseling, Training And Support
We help patients examine their family’s ability to solve problems, express thoughts and emotions in a productive manner, negative patterns of behavior, past or current abuse and neglect, and family roles so that together we can identify issues and find ways to work through them.
Biochemical Assays
Recovery needs to be an honest process. Honestly with oneself, and honesty with those that are present and offering help. For that purpose, we employ the use of urine drug screens. This is not a pass or fail system. But more of a way to ensure that what’s being discussed in group and in one-on-one counseling sessions, is the honest depiction of where a patient is at in their recovery process.
Relapse Prevention
The first step in any relapse prevention process, is to plan. For that, our clinicians will work with the patient to assess potential situations that might lead to substance abuse, such as social pressures, emotional stress, family, and beyond. After that, a relapse prevention plan is a written. The plan is tailored specific to the patient’s life and circumstances and is designed to help patients recognize the signs of relapse, avoid triggers, and prevent a return to substance abuse. Part of the relapse prevention plan will also include community and social support systems that will be made available to the patient on a continuous basis.
Life Skills
Life skills prepare patients for what’s next. Many people overcoming substance abuse are numb or disconnected with life’s “normal” feelings, emotions, and general responsibilities. Our life skills training is designed to help patients develop in areas such as communication, empathy, and interpersonal skills. We have found that these skills in particular are extremely important toward helping patients repair past relationships and develop and maintain new ones in both their personal and professional lives.
Crisis Contingency Planning
Our crisis contingency planning program is designed to serve as a behavioral treatment tool that provides patients with something of great importance or monetary value in order to incentivize patients not to use drugs.
Disease Management
Our disease management programs are designed to address the health of patients dealing with chronic health conditions, while ensuring that they are not putting at risk their sobriety.
Treatment Support
Our treatment support are well-planned initiatives that are centered around providing patients with successful evidence-based approaches for persons with physical disabilities, or persons with co-occurring disorders of mental illness and substance abuse/dependence, mental retardation/developmental disability, and substance abuse/dependence.
