    Levels of Care Offered at KISRA - Kanawha Institute for Social Research & Action

    This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Outpatient, Residential, with additional therapies available as listed below.

    Outpatient treatment is treatment that occurs when a patient is not checked into a rehab facility. The patient may show up for therapy sessions, go through detox and engage in other therapies to help them recover. However, they will do so while they live at home in West Virginia.

    Outpatient therapy provided by KISRA - Kanawha Institute for Social Research & Action is usually recommended as a follow up to inpatient therapy. It helps patients adapt to their normal lives after treatment. In some cases, it can also be an alternative to inpatient treatment. People may choose this route if they are unable to leave their jobs, children or if they don’t have the money for inpatient treatment. However, inpatient treatment is the best way to recover from addiction.

    Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.

    Therapies & Programs

    Individual professional counseling or individual therapy refers to the one-on-one interaction between a patient and his or her counselor. Individual therapy allows for more privacy, one that group interactions can’t provide. Therefore, it becomes easier for a person to unload and become more open to his or her counselor.

    Another benefit of individual therapy at KISRA - Kanawha Institute for Social Research & Action in Dunbar, WV is that all sessions aim to speed up a single person’s progress. It makes it easier for the counselor and the patient to deal with the central issues, which are likely the culprits of substance addiction.

    Once the roots of the problems are addressed, it becomes less challenging for a recovering patient to maintain sobriety and brush off temptations.

    Life skills pertain to the skill sets a person should possess to become successful in life. Examples are time management, budgeting, and social abilities. Life skills therapy highlights the fact that addiction recovery is more than just a person’s ability to go through their day-to-day without resorting to substance use. Patients in recovery should also be given the tools to thrive. Life skills training provides recovering alcoholics and substance users a chance to learn new things that can help them land a job and function well in society. The new learnings they acquire can motivate them to live with a goal-oriented and sober lifestyle once they leave the facilities at KISRA - Kanawha Institute for Social Research & Action in Dunbar, West Virginia.
