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.
Aftercare
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
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.
Medically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

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
A person with substance dependence can achieve recovery through drug rehab in Vermont. Professional staff provide a combination of interventions that are designed to help you attain and maintain abstinence from drugs.
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.
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
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
During cognitive behavioral therapy in Vermont, you may set SMART goals, engage in guided discovery, journal, and participate in cognitive restructuring. These activities help change patterns of thinking and behavior to address substance use and mental health disorders effectively.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
For individuals who want to build skills related to emotional regulation and mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy can be a good fit. This evidence based therapy helps you accept your emotions while also learning skills to manage them and create healthier patterns of behavior. Treatment occurs in group and individual formats.
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
Using a personalized approach for drug addiction treatment allows your therapist to tailor interventions in your individual therapy sessions to your unique circumstances. During your one on one sessions, you explore the underlying causes of addiction and develop effective strategies to manage cravings, improve mental health, and ultimately achieve long term recovery.
Motivational 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.
Trauma 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
Couples therapy helps you address a wide range of challenges that can affect your relationship. These include finances, differing values, intimacy issues, children, addiction, and health issues. You'll meet with a counselor to learn how to navigate these issues in healthy ways.
