After a comprehensive chemical dependency/behavioral addiction assessment, care is individualized and will include input from physicians, chemical dependency counselors, licensed relational and mental health clinicians, and
recovery case managers. The RECOVERY treatment team will meet regularly to monitor each client’s progress through the six to twelve (6-12) week program. An individualized treatment plan will be formulated cooperatively. At kp counseling, we believe restoring a life means treating the whole person: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Therefore, treatment at each level of care in the RECOVERY Program will include:
- education on the nature of addiction and stable recovery inclusive of:
- healthy living (i.e., nutrition, exercise, etc.)
- support development (i.e., the 12-step tradition, aftercare, etc.)
- spiritual enhancement (i.e., whole-life development, the pursuit of meaning, etc.)
- stress management and self-esteem building
- relapse prevention training
- open therapeutic group process focused on immediate concerns encountered in addiction and recovery
- individual and relational therapy
- the proper evaluation and use of medication
- clinical guidance and monitoring one’s progress in treatment
The clinical staff at kp counseling has a combined total of 70 years of experience in creating appropriate and individualized programs of addiction treatment for many types of substance abuse and behavioral addictions inclusive of:
- alcohol
- stimulants (e.g., cocaine, crack, crank, methamphetamines, ecstasy or MDMA, amphetamines, crystalmeth, OTC metabolites, speed, etc.)
- opiates and other narcotics (e.g., heroin, Oxycontin®, Percocet®, Vicodan®, Narco®, Fentanyl®, Demerol®, Dilaudid®, etc. - and the use of Suboxone® as a potential and recommended alternative)
- benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium®, Xanax®, Klonopin®, Ativan®, barbiturates, etc.)
- marijuana (e.g., the effects of hydroponic, schwag, hashish and hash oils, etc.)
- steroids
- hallucinogens (e.g., LSD, psychoactive mushrooms, ketamine, PCP, etc.)
- inhalants (e.g., Nitrous oxide addiction, huffing solvents such as glues and aerosols, etc.)
- sexual and relational addictions (e.g., compulsive use of pornography, internet addictions and cybersex compulsion, escort and prostitution compulsion, relational patterns of enticement, exploitation and discarding, etc.)
- pathological gambling (e.g., lottery/scratch-off compulsions, on-line video gaming [e.g., Kino], sports and para-mutual betting, casino compulsions [e.g., black-jack, Texas Hold-em, bingo, slot machine, etc.])
Many people suffer from addiction to two or more substances/behaviors simultaneously - what we call dual addiction. Furthermore, depression, anxiety, shame and a feeling of inadequacy frequently result from the loss of control in managing these addictions - what we call dual diagnosis. Our clinical addiction treatment staff is trained and experienced at handling these more complex addictions.
