Outpatient Drug Rehab Program

.
 Blue Paper Owl Counseling Services are proud to announce our affordable Out Patient Drug Rehabilitation Plan. This unique treatment program is specifically designed for individual rehabilitation, as we believe that no one program will suit all. The treatment is over a 30 day period and is flexible to suit your requirements. There is no group sessions, which helps to keep confidentiality in tact.
We are not rushing as many patients through as we can, therefor this intense program can only house 6 patients per month.  

1) Rationale for Outpatient Treatment.
Outpatient treatment offers considerable opportunity for interaction between the treatment program and the realities of each client's daily existence. The events of clients' daily lives can be described in treatment sessions and used as the basis for problem-solving exercises, role plays, and homework assignments. Outpatients have the advantage of being able to practice new skills in a variety of problem situations. This greatly enhances generalization of new behaviors to various aspects of a client's natural environment. In addition, the outpatient therapist can provide session-by-session monitoring of progress in applying new skills and supervised problem solving to deal with difficulties as they arise.

2) The program consists of the following  7 modalities:

1.      Introduction & Detoxification.
2.      Mindfulness and Grounding.
3.      Hypnotherapy.
4.      Cognitive Behavior Therapy Coping Skills.
5.      Transaction Analysis. (PAC)
6.      Parental Guidance Classes ( Communication)
7.      Motivational Enhancement Therapy.

As can be seen, there is a great emphasis on training, providing the individual and their families with skills to keep their sobriety. 

3)Families.


We believe that any addiction does not only affect the addict, but also their immediate family and loved ones.  Therefor this program is designed to include families, to teach them certain communication and coping skills in separate and combined sessions. This is a vital part of rehabilitation as there is normally great resentment and guilt towards each other.

4) Treatment Goals


The primary goal of this treatment is to master skills that will help to maintain abstinence from drugs. In order to develop these skills, clients must identify high-risk situations that may increase the likelihood of renewed using. These high-risk situations include precipitants of using that are external to the individual as well as internal events such as cognition and emotions. Having identified situations that represent a high risk for relapse, clients must develop skills to cope with them. In this program, all clients are first taught basic skill elements for dealing with common high-risk problem areas; they are encouraged to engage in problem solving, role playing, and homework practice exercises that will enable participants to apply the new skills to meet their own particular needs.

5) Homework.

Homework is a powerful adjunct to treatment, because red life situations can be utilized for practice, enhancing the likelihood that these behaviors will be repeated in similar situations (generalization). A pre - planned homework exercise has been designed for every session of this program. Most require that the clients try in a real life situation what they have already role played in the session. The homework assignment also requires that the clients record facts concerning the setting, their behavior, the response they evoked, and an evaluation of the adequacy of their performance. Homework exercises can be modified to fit the specific details of individual situations more closely, and extra homework assignments are sometimes given to help clients cope with problem situations they have encountered.

6) Cause.

Until you heal the wounds of your past you will bleed. You can 
bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes or sex; but eventually it will ooze through and stain your life. With this Rehabilitation program we will give you the strength to open up that wound, stick your hands inside and help you take out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and to make peace with them. Here we use Hypnotherapy to find out the cause of the addiction. We also use Ego - Strengthening and Positive Suggestion techniques through Hypnotherapy to built self confidence and self worth.

Blue Paper Owl Counseling Services do not believe that through punishment alone a person can be rehabilitated. We do believe that no person was born evil or an addict. We treat all our patients with the necessary decency and respect.
