The Climb

Finding Addiction Treatment for Your Loved One

Jul 10, 2019 9:30:00 AM / by Ascension Recovery Services

Addiction is a chronic, progressive disease that gets worse over time if not treated properly.  Recovery is not easy, but it is possible. At Ascension Recovery Services, our encouraging and certified team of professionals are here to help you. We can contribute to your loved one’s recovery through our customized treatment solutions. 

Our clinical professionals can provide an intervention, assessments and other services needed to make the appropriate recommendations on what type of treatment your loved one should receive. Long-term recovery success rates increase when treatment programs are paired with extended maintenance programs for recovery integration.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Ascension offers the following services to provide your loved one with the best treatment options:

Intervention

Our experienced empathetic interventionists use evidence-based strategies to find the best solutions for individuals struggling with substance use disorder (SUD). Our goal is to encourage the person to undergo treatment, change the family dynamic and address fears by introducing healthy boundaries that end enabling behaviors. 

We specialize in managing the difficult circumstances and provide families with a course of action towards wellness by utilizing our 10-step approach:

  1. The family in crisis must recognize the problem.
  2. Relief begins with the first call to our team
  3. Our intervention team is assembled, and the appropriate plan is outlined.
  4. Our team gathers information and conducts interviews with family members.
  5. Evidence of the addiction and inaction is identified.
  6. Treatment options are examined and personalized with the individual’s specific needs, financial situation and insurance in mind.
  7. Transportation logistics are addressed.
  8. Group rehearsals are done to prepare the family.
  9. The intervention is performed.
  10. The goal is for your loved one to enter treatment.

Even if your loved one does not enter treatment, we believe an intervention is successful by helping the family feel they have been heard and begin building healthy boundaries. 

How do you know when it is the right time to have an intervention? When you have noticed any of the following signs, we suggest calling us to plan an intervention:

  • The chaos of addiction has spiraled out of control.
  • Constant concern and anxiety brought on by addiction are all consuming.
  • You are struggling to break through your loved one’s denial.
  • Family destruction from addiction has created angst and frustration.
  • You need solid advice and credible information about treatment options.
  • Your emotional connection to the situation makes it hard to be objective and reasonable.
  • You have had enough waiting for the problem to correct itself and have lost hope.

HOW WE FIND THE BEST TREATMENT FOR YOU

Finding affordable treatment options for your loved one can get expensive. The treatment options we suggest are based on an individual’s needs. This not only provides long-lasting lifestyle changes for the betterment of your loved one, but it can also help save money with:

  • Medical costs: Overdoses, injuries, short-term and long-term illnesses related to drug use
  • Legal costs: Substance use arrests such as court and lawyer fees
  • Family costs: Supporting a loved one affected by substance use disorder or their children

Treatment center options can include: 

Residential Treatment Center (RTC) - This is a live-in facility with 24-hour staff. The level of care involves 30+ hours a week of treatment. RTC is the highest level of care for the treatment of SUD. 

Partial Hospitalization (PHP)- This option is five days a week with six hours a day treatment that provides the necessary level of care needed in an outpatient setting. The individual or group therapy is a minimum of 20+ hours a week. PHP provides a higher level of care than outpatient treatment; however, does not require a residential stay. 

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) - Patients experience three hours a day, three days a week treatment routine. Individuals maintain family and work responsibilities while moving forward in recovery. 

Sober Living Home (SLH) - This option provides a structured living environment to help the client transition into an everyday lifestyle with the group support of those with similar experiences. This provides accountability and a third-party to report on progress.

Additional programming in these treatment programs may include mindfulness therapy, humanistic and existential psychology, care or medication-assisted treatment (MAT).

Aftercare is equally as important as treatment. After treatment, we provide guidance on one of the most important recovery components. Our interventionist is with you, your loved one and your family every step of the way. 

Aftercare includes: 

  • Joining mutual aid support groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous
  • Individual therapy
  • Understanding signs of relapse
  • Increased accountability through monitoring programs
  • Facilitate with the familyabout the importance of aftercare

Our staff provides quality recommendations about which center would be the best fit based on your financial needs. Recommendations are based on our relationships with various treatment centers, and with additional resources we have in the area. We have the ability to negotiate with the treatment centers to provide cost savings catered towards you.
