Self Description:
"There are two programs: short and long term. Both are state-certified and use the biopsychosocial model. There is an option for work therapy in some cases. Emphasis is on relapse prevention tools and other life skills training to begin healing across all life areas. There is also outpatient, intervention, family and couples counseling, and gambling addiction treatment."
Treatment Philosophy:
"The Carol M. Porto Treatment Center recognizes alcoholism and addiction to other drugs as a disease with biological, psychological and sociological causes. We also recognize that the treatment must address all three areas to give the best prognosis."
Approach To Dual Diagnosis:
"The treatment team has Masters Degrees in mental health and are certified or licensed in addictions. We are comfortable and enthusiastic about working with those with co-occurring disorders. A consulting psychiatrist is on site at an additional fee. For specifically funded patients, there is fully integrated treatment."
Family Program:
"Multi-family group meets weekly for 2.5 hours and involves education and visitation for the first three weeks of the program. Subsequently, treatment is provided for families and significant others in individual counseling a minimum of once a month."
Position On 12 Step Involvement:
"An essential supplement to treatment; there are rare exceptions. Attending 12 step or
celebrate recovery meetings builds links in the recovering community and facilitates sponsorship. Once established while in treatment, this is where some of the recovery support will be post-treatment."
Position on Confrontation:
"If necessary, confrontation is used, but gently, treating the patient with dignity."
Additional Characteristics:
"Work therapy is available if clients are stablized and would lose their employment by going into residential treatment. For those on work therapy, the treatment program is still residential and intensive, but is offered every evening and on weekends rather then during the day."
