Treatment

Dual Diagnosis

Dual-diagnosis addiction treatment in Alabama is a comprehensive approach to treat co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Expert clinicians utilize evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy to address addiction and co-occurring mental health challenges. Offering various levels of care, including outpatient, inpatient, or partial hospitalization programs — dual-diagnosis treatment programs can be tailored to meet your needs.

Mental Health

Addiction treatment includes mental health services while living within a facility–a hospital, clinic, or hotel-like rehab center. Mental health counselors provide care in a safe environment monitored by clinical staff. The typical length of an inpatient program is 28-30 days, but some can last 60-90 days or more. Mental health treatment involves individual and group counseling sessions, addiction and relapse prevention education, and coping skills training.

Level of Care

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.

Clinical Services

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

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.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
