Addiction is a complex disease. No single solution is appropriate for everyone. At The Center to Overcome Addiction, we employ an integrated approach to treatments to develop a recovery plan for our patients on an individualized basis. We can offer a variety of different treatments including pharmacological interventions to relieve anxiety and cravings.
Advances in treatment now allow people to be detoxed from alcohol and substance abuse safely and comfortably on an outpatient basis. Detoxification can be physically traumatic and even life threatening in some situations. Severe physical symptoms can be so debilitating that individuals literally can not stop using. For these reasons, detox should never be attempted without medical supervision. Our medical detoxification programs begin with a comprehensive medical
exam to determine the appropriate medications. Once stabilization has been achieved, clients are encouraged to follow a structured psychosocial treatment plan individually designed by one of our Therapists.
Suboxone is a "partial opiate agonist" used to treat adults addicted to opiates such as prescription narcotics and heroin. This program begins with a comprehensive examination and medical stabilization. Once medically stabilization has been achieved an individual psychosocial treatment plan will implemented. Through the course continued medical follow up visits most client’s will decrease and stop the medication as they achieve psychological and social momentum. Some client’s may chose to continue to take Suboxone on a maintenance schedule to be determined by our physicians. As with all our medical treatment programs we recommend sustained psychological support through our counseling team or Intensive Outpatient Program. Vivitrol is a once a month injectable medication that is FDA approved for the treatment of alcohol dependence. The use of Vivitrol in conjunction with therapeutic psychosocial programs has been shown to help those recovering from alcohol dependence.

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 accor¬dance with group volume and specific patient needs. The prevention of relapse is a critical part of any effective treatment plan. Our Relapse prevention programs offer those people recovering from addictions strategies that will help them understand and deal with the triggers and/or stressors in their environment that led them to their alcoholism or drug addiction. Many people new to recovery feel uneasy at first in a group setting. As part of our individual treatment planning those individuals would be best served to begin their treatment with one on one therapy sessions. The therapist will be responsible for developing the best possible treatment plan giving each client the best chance for achieving their goals. Depression and anxiety are often associated with the addictive disease. Many people with addiction problems use drugs and/or alcohol as a form of self medication, which can mask the symptoms of more serious underlying psychiatric issues. During the initial psychosocial evaluation, clients are screened and assessed for co-occurring disorders. Once identified, clients will meet with our staff psychiatrist to develop an individual treatment plan to work in conjunction with the recovery process. |
