About Recovery Point Charleston
Recovery Point Charleston is a drug and alcohol addiction recovery center in Charleston, West Virginia. It's part of the Recovery Point Network, with the Charleston location exclusively serving women in crisis through residential treatment. It's a residential setting with modern amenities.
Recovery Point is a no cost program, with services sustained by donations, fundraisers, and grants. Clients participate in facility operations and build a community to support one another and achieve stability.
Detox is the first stage of treatment for those with severe symptoms. Medical professionals oversee the process, which typically lasts five to seven days, to provide support and comfort during what can be a complicated process. Recovery Point does not use medication during detox unless deemed medically necessary.
Clients in detox will be referred to local hospitals if additional medical care is required. Upon completion of detox, they graduate to the residential program.
Having a stable living situation and support system is vital to recovery. Recovery Point provides both in a private setting. Residents reside on campus 24 hours a day for the length of their treatment, where they receive constant monitoring and have 24 access to their clinical and medical care teams.
Recovery Point’s treatment is built on the 12 steps program. Clients attend daily meetings where they learn about the nature of addiction, learn coping skills, and provide support for one another. Treatment includes 40 written assignments and 20 meetings onsite, and are also required to attend support groups in the local area and perform chores around the facility.
As clients progress through treatment, they earn day passes and acquire more responsibilities, like holding a job. They can also become peer mentors, where they offer guidance to those in the early stages of recovery.
Upon program completion, clients meet with their care team to develop a plan of action for returning to their communities and sober living. Aftercare includes things like goal setting and connecting with community support resources.

Levels of Care
Inpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). In exchange for room and board, all Recovery Phase I residents are required to complete daily job assignments in food preparation, housekeeping, building and grounds maintenance, security, etc., as well as fulfill the requirements and responsibilities of the formal program of recovery that consists of three basic components.
12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Medically Assisted Detox
If you have become physically dependent on drugs or alcohol, quitting abruptly can cause withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, headaches, flu-like symptoms, and more. In severe cases, these withdrawal symptoms can even be dangerous. In medically assisted detox, a team of licensed professionals will monitor your vitals, provide medication if needed, and help keep you as safe and comfortable as possible during this process.

Treatment
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 addiction causes psychological and physical damage through repeated and uncontrollable use of substances. Drug rehab in West Virginia focuses on providing a full continuum of care, from detox to aftercare, and treatment can take place in outpatient or inpatient settings, based on your needs.
Opioid Addiction
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 Abuse
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.
Clinical Services
Group 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.
Individual 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.
Life Skills
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing in West Virginia is often used when the client's desire to change is low, their confidence is low, or they are struggling with mixed feelings about change. This technique allows them to explore the change process and feel empowered to move forward.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy gives you a structured approach to healing from past traumatic events. You can experience the emotional and psychological impact of trauma whether you witness an event or experience it. Your therapist guides you in understanding your responses and helps you develop healthier coping skills.
Family Therapy
During family therapy, family members work with therapists to understand addiction as a disease and how it affects the family unit. Using this approach fosters empathy and reduces blame between family members. This creates a nurturing environment that helps support their loved one's sobriety.
Creative Arts Therapy
During creative arts therapy, your focus is not on learning artistic skills. It's about the experience of creating something and expressing yourself through it. As you engage in the therapy, you'll explore difficult emotions and situations and begin the process of healing.
