Assessment

 

Lasting Recovery’s Intensive Outpatient Program begins with a comprehensive assessment that allows us to develop a flexible, holistic individual treatment plan that best meets each client’s needs. This assessment includes:

• Drug and Alcohol Use
• Psychological Assessment
• Family and Social Relationships
• Lifestyle Issues

Education

 

Lasting Recovery provides comprehensive drug and alcohol education groups. Our format includes the use of lecture, videotape, group discussion and homework assignments that provide a forum to process a variety of recovery issues. Participants learn to increase their motivation and prevent relapse through curriculum based on current research and cognitive behavioral therapy. In these groups, clients learn the impact substance abuse has had on their brains, their lives and families. Group topics include:

• Addiction & Recovery
• Relapse Prevention
• Problem Solving Skills
• Stress Management

Goals

• Assess, address and begin to correct the harm to health and emotional well being
• Help clients and families understand chemical dependency and relapse
• Assist clients to improve their relationship and communications skills
• Introduce clients and families to 12 step programs as a key to maintaining recovery

Holistic Health

 

Research shows the importance of addressing the mind, body, and spirit in substance abuse treatment. A holistic approach to recovery helps individuals learn to heal the whole self - to relieve stress and live life in balance. Our carefully chosen holistic practitioners offer an introduction to acupuncture, massage, yoga and meditation.

 

 

12-Step Facilitation

 

This program is an evidence based protocol that DOUBLES a participant’s chance of long term recovery. In addition to introducing 12 Step Program philosophy into our Adult programs, we encourage our clients to take advantage of this unique individualized program in order to decrease their chance of relapse. This program includes:

• Individual, one-hour sessions that interface with each of the 12 steps
• Support to help clients integrate into meetings

Fearless Change

 

Based on Dr. Judy Saalinger’s book, Fearless Change-Embrace the Choice to Reinvent Your Life, these groups help clients and their families find hope and a new way of living. These groups provide our clients with unique tools that make it easier to learn and develop relapse prevention strategies as they progress to long term recovery. Through the changes required by recovery, clients learn to:

• Identify and satisfy the basic needs of recovery
• Make effective choices and respond appropriately to high risk situations
• Manage life changes that occur with long term sobriety
• Adjust to changes in family, work and relationships
