Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

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.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

aftercare iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs approach recovery as a life-long process that requires robust, individualized, and ongoing care. Clients in drug rehab aftercare have typically completed detox and intensive inpatient treatment and are weeks or months into their recovery journey. These programs are designed to promote clients' continued sobriety through a comprehensive portfolio of services aligned with the clients' evolving needs. Peer coaching, career counseling, and relapse prevention services are standard in these continuing care programs.

12-step icon12-Step

12 step programs strongly prioritize peer coaching and personal growth, creating a standard emulated by many treatment centers. Spiritual principles define the 12 step recovery paradigm and are designed to help participants address the root causes of their addiction, accept personal responsibility for their life choices, and relinquish control over that which cannot be changed. Participants regularly attend group meetings, which are free, peer-directed, and anonymous. They also select sponsors to mentor them in their recovery.

Heart icon Treatment

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

The core principles of motivational interviewing are acceptance, compassion, partnership, and evocation. This collaborative process offers a nonjudgmental environment where the therapist expresses sympathy, highlights the client's strengths, and empowers them to explore necessary change.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

During trauma therapy, you work through the traumatic memories of an event you witnessed or experienced in a safe and supportive place. Your therapist will provide you with the tools needed to process the trauma, which in turn reduces your symptoms and improves your overall mental health.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

I really enjoyed my class mates and most of my staff at HC. This may work for some people, but it has failed me many times in the past. This experience was no different. An assessment being done should not be done by the IOP teacher who later turns and uses it against you. If you are recommended for further classes, they also will not help you find an outside organization, even when those times don't comply with your working schedule. They could care less if you can't pay your bills; and simply do not look out for the best interest of the client. It's all about money at the end of the day. It's sad. As a professional, it's highly unethical that students know about ADHD or any other family drama from a teacher. I can't speak on the counselors, and the Seeking Safety lady, but I would never recommend the St. Albans office FOR ANYONE serious about recovery. Job security is of utmost importance at HC. For the sake of your sanity, go to NCSS or any surrounding areas.If this works for you, GREAT. It did not for me, and for many other people. It's a sad reality when treatment is considered superior to working and getting back to real life.

First, I see the same guy gave a 5-star, then later 1-star review. As a place that deals with addicts, by nature those who don t follow the rules is gonna be angry. Not saying that s what happened, but it makes sense.Anyway, best place around. I had the best counselor for years here and my doctor now works here, Dr. White, and she is AMAZING. Her entire staff is great. I can t say enough good things. Love you guys, thanks for teaching me how to live.
