    Intensive outpatient programs mostly conduct meetings on weekdays. Group therapy is the main element in most intensive outpatient programs. Most IOPs last for about 90 days and include drug use monitoring and testing. A Kentucky IOP, like what’s offerd at The Morton Center, take much more time than a standard outpatient program. Some programs offer other services as well, such as employment assistance and medication management.

    Outpatient rehabilitation is a treatment that exists if a patient is not checking into The Morton Center long term. In addition to helping them recover, the patient attends regular therapy sessions and detox and participates in other therapies. However, this is all primarily done from home. As a follow-up to inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment is usually recommended.

    After rehabilitation, it helps people return to their everyday lives. It may also be an alternative to inpatient care in some situations. If they cannot leave their jobs, children, or don’t have the money for inpatient care, people can choose this method. Inpatient therapy, however, is the best method and most suggested level of treatment offered by The Morton Center in recovering from addiction.

    The halfway point between inpatient and outpatient care is The Morton Center‘s Partial Hospitalization Program. It is for individuals in Kentucky who struggle with addiction but do not need treatment round the clock. Patients may reside in a recovery facility anywhere from 18 to 30 hours per week, but they can sleep at home. The program length could be anywhere from one to six months.

    An intervention is a meeting organized by the addicted individuals’ family and friends. It lets the individual know that they are loved and cared for by their friends and family. It is designed to make the addicted party accept getting additional professional assistance.

    Interventions are hosted by a mental health and addiction specialist at The Morton Center in Kentucky, who knows how to work with people struggling with addiction. When it comes to having a loved one finally and happily consent to care, an intervention service can make all the difference.

    Aftercare Support at The Morton Center, in short, is the support provided to a patient after they have finished treatment. It allows them to adjust to everyday life. It may entail setting them up and enrolling them in services such as Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) inside a halfway house. Career coaching may also be offered to patients to help them get back into the Kentucky workforce.

    The Morton Center‘s Therapies & Programs

    Substance abuse does a number on an individual’s relationship with other people, particularly in marriage. Spousal relationships bear the brunt of alcohol and drug dependence. Therefore, it becomes critical to submit the relationship to couples therapy to prevent straining it further. Most programs only zero in on the individual with substance addiction without factoring in the importance of the other half’s emotional support.

    However, some facilities, like The Morton Center in Louisville, Kentucky, offer couples therapy options to manage intimate partnerships amid the recovery process. Other couples-focused treatment plans can provide the patient and their partner tools to get things back to normal, support each other, and the patient’s sobriety.
    Addiction is a family disease. Family therapy aims to heal and rebalance unhealthy roles and habits. Healing any family trauma and dysfunctional communications is important, and The Morton Center understands this. Family sessions are meant to bring Kentucky families closer together and live sober, healthy, lives.

    Group Therapy is a type of counseling that occurs between a bunch of strangers. These groups are suitable for patients who are not confined in a treatment facility, but group sessions are also common in inpatient rehab programs. Group therapy is led by a trained individual at The Morton Center in Louisville, KY and consists of members from different stages of recovery.

    The goal of group therapy sessions is to foster hope and a sense of belonging, share information, and learn coping mechanisms. It also helps to have people who can relate to what you’re going through. Good behaviors can also be contagious, and participants can learn from one another.

    Unresolved trauma is often a key reason why many patients resorted to substance abuse. Trauma could be physical abuse, sexual abuse, war, natural disasters, divorce, accident, loss of a loved one, etc. If trauma is the primary cause of substance abuse, then both issues must be addressed.

CBT is based on the idea that rigid, inflexible ways of thinking cause people to have a limited ability to cope with stress
