The Hope House Adolescent Treatment Programs is designed for clients who do not require a more structured environment to maintain sobriety and who are not in acute withdrawal. Treatment includes individualized treatment planning, educational and therapy groups up to three days per week, and individual counseling. Appropriate referrals are made to community-based self help groups, vocational agencies, and other necessary services. Outpatient Treatment gives the individual an opportunity to interact with the real world environment while still benefiting from a peer-oriented, structured therapeutic program. Clients' progress is assessed regularly by clinical staff to help determine the length of the program for each participant. For clients who cannot afford services, there are grants and sliding scale options available for those who qualify. Program components include: * Substance Abuse Evaluations/Assessments * Alcohol and other drug education * Individualized treatment planning * Process groups * Topic groups for skills development * Individual counseling sessions * Relapse Prevention * HIV and STD education * Access to a variety of resources, including multicultural resources * Introduction to 12 Step recovery principles and self-help groups * Psychiatric Evaluations for established clients * Random Drug screening Outpatient Treatment
Goals: The ultimate goal of the program is long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Outpatient clients are educated and treated so that they may re-enter society and lead responsible, successful drug and alcohol free lives by using the tools of recovery. We recognize and fulfill each client's needs by helping them attain a thorough understanding of themselves and the recovery process while providing a safe, supportive environment.
Objectives: Achieving and maintaining long-term abstinence from alcohol and drugs will be accomplished by:
* Educating clients in the disease process, ensuring they develop an understanding of addiction * Teaching the psychological, medical, and spiritual affects of addiction to the individual and his/her family * Identifying and addressing emotional and behavioral obstacles in recovery * Relapse prevention: developing and implementing an effective aftercare treatment plan.For more information about the Adolescent Substance Abuse Program, please call Michael DeMassi at 973-361-5555, extension 132.
