Adult program Program for men Program for women Young adult program

Inpatient: Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient\'s individual requirements. Aftercare Support: When residents leave Edgehill they are equipped with the basic tools for achieving a life of abstinence from alcohol and drugs. Away from Edgehill‘s protective walls residents need help. They make sure they know members of the recovery community who will be mentors, friends, and helping guides. They put them in touch with unique, caring network of recovering people.

Family Therapy: Edgehill‘s staff is well aware that alcoholism and drug addictions devastate families. They invite families for scheduled visits with residents and gladly consult with them. They make families aware of education and self-help groups designed for them, as well as make referrals for other types of assistance. Group Therapy: Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members. Individual Therapy: In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life. Life Skills: These first days, clean and sober, are critical. Their day needs structure. Thus Edgehill residents follow a schedule. Residents are responsible for such personal chores as cleaning their rooms and doing their laundry. These responsibilities point the way out of the quagmire of living in addictions throes and toward a more stable recovery way of life.

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. 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. Substance Abuse: Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
