Outpatient Services
Intervention support provides family, friends, and employers of addicted individuals with knowledge and understanding of the addictive process and its detrimental effects on their own lives. An initial assessment with family, friends and perhaps even employers determines the treatment plan.
Outpatient Treatment
Through individual and/or group therapy clients will clearly understand the precipitating factors for personal alcohol and drug abuse issues. They will explore abstinence-centered alternatives, improve coping skills and demonstrate the ability to remain abstinent and gain a greater insight into their personal spirituality. The goal of any recommended counseling is for the client to lead a healthier life physically, emotionally, and spiritually. With a holistic treatment approach, family dysfunctions will decline and symptoms will improve.
Outpatient Relapse Program
Treatment involves recognition of high risk situations and development of management strategies, a sobriety support system and a relapse prevention plan. Aftercare planning is determined during the course of treatment, based on the needs of the patient and significant others.
