The Addiction Recovery Service
Chemical dependency is a disease. It is a destructive process
characterized by a physical and/or psychological dependence upon mood-altering
chemicals. Causal factors include biological risks,
social/cultural/environmental influences, psychological influences, and the
addiction potential of mind-altering chemicals. Chemical dependency is
multifaceted and individualized in its effect, and while it can be treated and
arrested, it cannot be cured.
Treatment
Employing a case management model, The Institute's Addiction
Recovery Service incorporates the following options into individualized
treatment plans:
- Case management, group therapy, and family education
- Weekend planning, treatment contracts, and relapse prevention
activities
- Educational curriculum on the disease and recovery process
- 12-step program orientation
- Continuing care, once or twice a week, day or evening
- Access to Institute of Living expertise, including effective
management/treatment of dual diagnosis
