Addiction and Recovery:
 Detox
and Overcoming Addiction: At Holistic drug addiction
treatment center, we have a unique detoxification process
in alcohol treatment and addiction treatment. All our doctors
are certified addictionologists and recovering addicts themselves.
Detox will be very gentle and thorough. When the
client is stable and comfortable, he/she will enter the
holistic part of the detox. This will include herbs, vitamins,
steam baths, whirlpool massage and acupuncture. This is
not meant to be fancy but to truly cleanse the body of all
drugs. This is done to create clarity of mind, body, and
spirit.
Frequently Asked Questions - What
are the Phases of Overcoming Addiction?
Phase One: Clients
begin Phase 1 with a psychological evaluation and thorough
assessment to determine their strengths and weaknesses.
The average duration of stay for the drug and alcohol treatment
is 31 to 90 days. Each client is treated with dignity.
The addiction treatment team assesses each individual's
specific needs and guides them into one or more of our specialty
groups. Phase 1 is a continuation of primary care on an
intensive level. The full schedule includes: individual
and group therapy, family therapy, lectures, balanced nutrition,
fitness activities (such as weightlifting, karate, tai-chi
and yoga), meditation and spirituality, bio-feedback, acupuncture,
recreation and fun, daily support groups and fellowship
(AA, OA, NA, etc.), vocational and educational assistance,
and job placement, and liaisons with courts and probation
officers.
Phase Two: Phase 2
is the transitional part of our program. Completing Phase
1 at the drug addiction treatment center, the client is
ready to return to the workforce. This can be both stressful
and threatening. Considering this we gently ease the client
back into the community by helping with job placement. identifying
difficulties, and assisting the client in problem solving.
For the next 45 days, clients works in the daytime and receive
drug and alcohol treatment on evenings and weekends. They
also attend the various support groups daily to ensure a
smooth transition into the community.
Phase Three: The aftercare
component is our third level of addiction treatment. Clients
return once a week for one year, at no charge. Our trained
professionals monitor each client's aftercare plan, revising
and updating as necessary, with the focus on relapse prevention
and problem solving. If the client has a great deal of difficulty
adjusting, the treatment team is notified and if need be
the client is asked to return for an additional treatment.
For out-of-towners, aftercare is coordinated with point
of origin.
Nutrition and Physical Fitness: Holistic counseling knows that
Nutrition and Physical Fitness go hand in hand and are essential to
recovery. Each client will receive weekly lectures from our nutritionist along with an individually tailored program to meet the
client's specific needs. Every exercise program will be supervised by
our specialist to assure compliance. Our goal is to assist our clients
to get into the best physical condition that is medically possible. |
