Overcome Addiction to Alcohol

Detox from alcohol can be physically traumatic. Seizures, DTs (Delirium Tremens), headaches, and vomiting are just some of the possible symptoms. For these reasons, alcohol detox should never be attempted without medical supervision. But even in detox under medical supervision, withdrawal symptoms can occur and result in severe cravings - followed by symptoms such as anxiety, fatigue, irritability, and depression. It is therefore important to supplement a successful detoxification with ongoing medical management and continuing care programs.

This program is having a profound impact on the lives of many of our patients who are dependent on alcohol, cocaine or methamphetamine. PROMETA is designed to help relieve cravings, improve cognitive function, restore nutritional balance and initiate psychosocial counseling. This 8-week outpatient program includes non-addictive prescription medications and nutritional supplements, prescribed and overseen by a physician, coupled with an individualized psychological treatment plan.

In order to achieve the best outcomes, any treatment program must continue to address the physiological, psychological, nutritional, spiritual and social aspects of addictive disease. It is the integration of these components that offers each patient the best opportunity to live a happy, rewarding life.

Our staff works with clients, families and their caregivers to develop individualized psychosocial treatment plans based on each person's needs and preferences. Every plan is tailored to incorporate the necessary tools to provide the best opportunity for continued success.

For patients who would benefit from more intensive recovery work, the Center offers a 12-week Intensive Outpatient Program. Included in this program is an initial Psycho-social Assessment; two case management sessions; weekly drug screens; individual, group and family therapy sessions; and an optional 12-Step Facilitation Group.

* IOP services and length of treatment may vary in accordance with group volume and specific patient needs.

Many of our treatment programs include a relapse prevention program. Effective relapse prevention programs generally combine two kinds of therapy:

:: Motivation Enhancement Therapy (MET)
MET helps people identify needs and goals and build motivation to change. This therapy takes place on an individual basis.

:: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helps people develop relapse prevention skills. This therapy can take place in group or individual sessions, or both.
