Clinical Services Offered
Detoxification Services
This is a residential program which provides medical intervention 24-hours a day for individuals with acute physical distress as a result of their alcohol and drug abuse. We are state licensed and certified as well as supervised by a licensed physician. In order to receive treatment in this area of the facility you will need to call in and go through a phone interview, set up an appointment and when you arrive for your appointment go through an assessment in person. The morning after arriving in our facility you will see the physician and he will estimate the amount of time you will need to spend in our detoxification service. During your time you may receive medication regimen for the management of the withdraw symptoms and health risk involved in the process. No visitors and limited phone calls are allowed during this time due to the risk factor for the consumer. An clinical assessment is completed during this time for the consumer to decide what additional services will be needed for their recovery to be successful.
Residential Treatment
This is a 14 day program which offers 24 hours supervised living with high structured addictions programming. The programming consists of educational classes related to chemical dependency, relapse, and recovery skills. Programming is designed to teach basic recovery and life management skills to increase the individual’s ability to function effectively at home, work and socially. This program is enhanced by offering adult basic education classes (GED), social and recreational activities, on-site 12-step meetings, family education, HIV education and testing, case management, individual, group and spiritual counseling. Sunday Family/Friend Visitation is offered beginning with church and ending at 3:00 p.m. Lunch is served on site. Also, on Monday evenings there is Family Night Education at 7:00 p.m.
Outpatient Treatment
We provide several different levels of outpatient services. Intensive Outpatient Treatment is 8-15 weeks of cognitive-based group sessions including educational sessions. These groups are three times a week for three hours. Groups are offered day and evening for accessibility. We are not offering these in Espanol. Education Classses last for 15 weeks and meets for one hour each week and is designed for those in need of basic education in addictions. Relapse Prevention is a 10-15 weeks program and meets once a week for one hour. Consumers will develop relapse prevention tools, skills, and techniques needed to maintain abstinence. Aftercare is offered one hour a week for up to 20 weeks following IOP in order to monitor consumers during their continued recovery. ALL programs are required to participate in 12-step meetings, on-site drug testing, and the family components are available.
Transitional Housing
This program provides affordable housing to adult men and women ages 18+ who are in need of temporary housing. We basically have three types of living quarters available: private, semi-private and dorm room setting. Each resident receives three meals, snacks, clean linen, GED classes, access to an on-site computer lab, and 12-step meetings. The center provides this at a nominal fee. The above programs are provided to them at additional cost. The goal of this program is to provide each individual with an opportunity to have a successful reintegration into the community by obtaining employment, private residence and/or community living. This program is not just for those in recovery for alcohol and drug abuse but for those who may be homeless and need a fresh start realizing their need for changes in their lives.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
We thought you would never ask . . .
Most of our people that come in for help are indigent. Not only this but they have burnt many bridges with their family and close friends. Understandably so, as trust is a huge issue in the addiction lifestyle, so they have no one to turn to for funding to begin their new lives. So the first thing you can do is pray for the people we serve as we served in 2007 alone
