Insurance

  • Alcoholism:
  • The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support
  • poor motivation
  • or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people
  • success is measured by longer periods of abstinence
  • reduced use of alcohol
  • better health
  • and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
  • Dual Diagnosis:
  • Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia
  • bipolar disorder
  • depression
  • or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
  • Mental Health and Substance Abuse:
  • A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse)
  • so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
  • Opioid Addiction:
  • Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin
  • as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication)
  • and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Accreditaions/Licenses

  • CARF:
  • The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is a non-profit organization that specifically accredits rehab organizations. Founded in 1966
  • CARF's
  • mission is to help service providers like rehab facilities maintain high standards of care.
  • CARF Accreditation: Yes
