SOBA Recovery Center Promotes Extended Outpatient Treatment As Key To Recovery
The Mesa, Arizona drug treatment center reports the best results with clients who remain in a structured supportive environment for an extended length of time, according to http://sobamesa.com
Mesa, AZ – January 3, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —
According to a national survey in 2014, over 21 million Americans over the age of 12 had an addiction to drugs or alcohol. Though addiction is considered a highly treatable disease, many addicts do not seek treatment, and those who do relapse at the rate of 40 to 60 percent. According to one center for drug treatment mesa az, the length of time an individual spends in treatment is a significant factor in his or her recovery. According to Greg Hannley, founder of SOBA Recovery Center Mesa, the most successful clients are the ones who remain in a structured treatment environment for an extended period of time.
Said Hannley, “You’ve probably heard the joke that goes, ‘It’s easy to quit smoking; I’ve done it hundreds of times.’ It’s a sad fact of any type of addiction that treatment doesn’t always lead to recovery, despite the best intentions of the addict and his or her counselors. But after years of experience working with recovering addicts, I’ve been able to observe that a long period of time in treatment is highly correlated with success.”
SOBA Recovery Center’s approach to treatment involves three phases: detoxification, secondary care, and sober living with intensive outpatient treatment. The detox process is medically supervised and typically lasts from three days to one week. Secondary care is a period of residential treatment, usually lasting from 30 to 90 days, designed to give the client confidence and prepare him or her to transition to a sober living community. The final phase of outpatient rehab mesa az can last up to one year. During this time, clients live in a supportive community environment where they learn and practice life skills and self-care skills that will allow them to cope with challenges without recourse to drugs or alcohol.
“The outpatient care we provide is intensive and varied,” said Hannley. “It includes both individual and group therapy, 12-step meetings, and a variety of activities designed to promote the individual’s integration into the larger community. These might include job training, education, or volunteer activities, depending on what would be most beneficial for the client. Our outpatient care is tailored to the specific needs of each client, so it’s not a one-size-fits-all program by any means.”
Individual therapy modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), a therapeutic method aimed at helping clients process and recover from trauma. Clients are also encouraged to participate in family therapy in order to strengthen the support that families can provide.
Concluded Hannley, “The clients who stay with the program from beginning to end are much less likely to relapse than the ones who only spend a few weeks or months getting sober. By providing an extended and intensive outpatient treatment program, we are able to give our clients a better chance at long-term recovery because we make sure they have the tools and support systems they need.” More information about the program is available at www.sobamesa.com.
