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.

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.

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.

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.

Experiential Therapy

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.

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.

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.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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.

I was contacted by the behavioral health department social workers, and also met with one of their psychology students, for mental health evaluation, and therapy. I discovered that they are ignorant and incompetent, although they appear to want to help. My impression was th ... Read More

Very happy with the service. They do not provide therapy, but this is the only place where I was able to quickly get a new prescription after arriving from Europe. They agreed to see me the next day after I call. Bryan Krehnbrink is a very nice man, always a pleasure to meet him.

My first time being admitted to the hospital was at UNC, and it wasn't as terrifying as I had made it out to be. I thought I would be poked and prodded for hours and not even be able to socialize with people my own age, but it really wasn't the case. I met some people there that remain my friends even after discharge. But that isn't really what the review is for.Upon admission, I had no clue what was going on. I was sat in the day room for around six hours before they finally decided which room I would be placed in, since there were 3-4 discharges that day. Staff seemed pretty nice and welcoming in the beginning, which I took as a good sign.A few days after admission (I was admitted on a Friday) things really began picking up. People I had met down in the Emergency Department (ED) were getting admitted as well, and it was good to see faces I recognized. However, two of them were prone to having seizures, which caused stress among staff and patients. On one night, things got really rough. The nurses and nursing staff were yelling at us to be in our rooms, and I had a roommate at the time. I was pretty close with her, but she was off receiving treatment for Cystic Fibrosis, so being alone in your room in a stressful environment is a big no-no. I tried to hurt myself two different ways, and the next morning when I had to talk to the treatment team and I said that, they thought it was somewhat trivial. Problem is: you get punished for doing that. Negative reinforcement is really bad for my mental health, so this made me feel worse.I also feel as if they discharge patients too early. When I was discharged, I didn't know until around two hours before that I was leaving. I had stated the night before that I would not feel safe going home, but the staff believed I was just nervous about transition. I claimed numerous times that I would hurt myself when I left, but they just nodded and looked at me. If my parents hadn't completely cleaned out the house and locked up sharp objects, I easily could have gone back there that night- or worse.As many negative things as I have said in this review, treatment was overall a positive experience for me. I would recommend UNC, but I would listen to this review and be prepared for the way they conduct treatment.
