Cocaine and Alcohol Awareness Program (CAAP)

About Cocaine and Alcohol Awareness Program

Cocaine and Alcohol Awareness Program provides high quality behavioral health and co-occurring mental health services for those who are financially limited in the Memphis, Tennessee, area. They aid people in overcoming chemical dependency, homelessness, domestic violence, victimization, and other self defeating behavioral health and co-occurring mental health disorder issues. Their addiction related services include residential treatment, outpatient treatment, and a homeless veterans housing program.

Residential treatment is available for anyone needing inpatient level care, regardless of their ability to pay. It’s a coed therapeutic environment that offers individual and group counseling and psychosocial support. Alcohol and drug education, life skills training, and relapse prevention are implemented into a highly structured and safe environment where deeper work can unfold. Random drug testing will take place throughout the program. You can stay there for a maximum of six months.

Outpatient treatment is for those who do not need the 24/7 support that comes with residential treatment. Everyone who participates in outpatient treatment will need to attend regularly scheduled sessions in the morning and evening hours. Anger management and relapse prevention will be addressed, along with personal concerns and goals. Six to nine hours of participation per week are expected, with an average stay of 90 days. Upon completion of the treatment program, you’re monitored through a two year program consisting of therapeutic groups and other support systems.

Their Homeless Veteran Residential Transitional Housing (HVRTH) Program is an innovative program that helps homeless veterans access and engage in behavioral health and addiction recovery services. This program delivers comprehensive treatment that focuses on your physical, mental, and behavioral health. Addiction treatment is addressed through traditional clinical models such as therapy and behavior modification. Examples of services include primary care services, affordable housing, introduction to moral reasoning, and social skills development. To support your long-term recovery, aftercare services, including career readiness training, transportation, and educational support, are available.

They operate as a sliding scale facility and don’t require insurance. However, if referrals are made to outside recovery resources, those facilities may be in-network with most commercial insurance plans. Speak with your individual provider to verify your coverage as out of network benefits can vary.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Intensive Outpatient

CAAP’s Intensive Outpatient Program has established a treatment mode for Outpatient and Aftercare services. This focuses on helping the individual to understand that they may function without the use of mind altering substances in his or her life. They realize that the capacity for change is forever possible.

Inpatient

Residential Treatment is for those individuals in need of an intensive program where maybe an outpatient program has been tried and failed, or where there is no question that an individual has a problem greater than simple abuse, and/or where a change of environment is recommended. A change to a safe, sober, living environment from drug and/or alcohol availability or using friends, may be key to a persons recovery.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When your day-to-day life is taken over by drug use, this is known as substance use disorder. If you abruptly stop using your drug of choice, you experience withdrawal symptoms. To overcome this cycle, professional drug rehab in Tennessee is usually needed.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

Chemical dependency is a family disease. Therefore, family involvement in the healing process is a necessity. CAAP offers group and individual counseling that addresses family issues, concerns, and questions in order to provide an understanding of the concepts of chemical dependency and co-dependency.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). The opportunity for clients to learn to reconnect with others, obtain feedback from their peers, and rediscover themselves as feeling human beings in a group setting. 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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety. Depending on the individual needs of the individual or the group, subjects such as remedial reading, basic math for balancing a checkbook, problemsolving techniques, or conflict resolution can be discussed.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
