Alcoholism

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.

Drug Addiction

Drug rehab in Missouri usually involves several phases: detox, rehab, and aftercare. The rehab phase may include a combination of inpatient and outpatient treatments, as the individual moves through a continuum of care on their recovery journey.

Dual Diagnosis

Co-Occurring Counseling is a service that provides counseling to those identified as having both a substance use diagnosis and a mental health diagnosis. Co-occurring issues are integrated into the recovery care plan and are provided by qualified personnel. Co-occurring specific groups are also provided. If it is determined that a person(s)-served needs a psychiatric evaluation, this service can be coordinated through the agency telemedicine program. The program is equipped with telemedicine equipment that will allow us to access agency psychiatrists as needed for routine and/or crisis psychiatry services.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
