About Rutland Mental Health
Rutland Mental Health in Rutland, Vermont, is an organization that provides substance use disorder treatment and recovery services. They help treat individuals who are addicted to alcohol and other substances. The staff members at Rutland are able to provide a clinical diagnosis after clients undergo a substance use assessment. They work together with the patient to come up with treatment goals and objectives that are agreed upon. The team can use these goals to help monitor the progress of patients as they progress through the treatment plan they’re following. Different services offered at the facility include an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and continuing care for ongoing recovery.
Clients are put in a program that’s appropriate for their needs based on the American Society of Addiction Medicine placement criteria. One unique thing that stands out about this location is its prioritization of treating pregnant females who struggle with substance abuse. They specifically focus on providing help for pregnant females dealing with IV substance use.
Clients assigned to the IOP will undergo 20 three-hour sessions for five weeks. In this program, individuals will learn skills needed for recovery, develop relapse prevention skills and participate in group sessions about applying the recovery tools they’ve been taught.
When clients have completed the treatment program, they can receive continuing care through the aftercare program. Patients will be connected with a specific group where they can receive support and reinforce the recovery principles they’ve learned. The different groups available to be a part of include the men’s and women’s recovery group and the relapse prevention group.
Another helpful service provided at Rutland Mental Health is the treatment court. It’s a program for those who’ve committed a criminal offense. They can be referred to this program to receive help with putting their life back together. Additionally, the re-entry program helps incarcerated individuals recovering from substance use to get the resources they need, such as education and housing.

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.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) provide high-level support for clients who do not need inpatient treatment or who prefer to live at home while in early recovery. Intensive outpatient rehabs also offer support for clients who are reintegrating into their community following inpatient care. Clients typically receive a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week, though many programs offer up to 20 therapeutic hours. Psychotherapy, recovery education, holistic therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT) are standard.
24-Hour Clinical Care
When you enter 24-hour clinical care in Vermont, a medical team monitors your health and is on-site to intervene quickly if any severe withdrawal symptoms occur. Due to the nature of some drug withdrawals, life-threatening symptoms are possible, so this level of care is highly recommended during the detox process. This level of care also helps meet other medical needs, as well as provide mental and emotional support through professional counseling.

Treatment
Dual Diagnosis
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.
Mental Health
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). 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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
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.
Trauma Therapy
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.
Couples 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 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.
