Conditions and Issues Treated
Dual-Diagnosis
People with dual diagnosis have coexisting addiction and a mental disorder. 9.2 million US adults had a co-occurring disorder in 2018, so not just limited to Texas residents. Best treatment combines medication, psychotherapy (talk therapy), support group, and inpatient rehabilitation. Sometimes, complementary therapies – yoga, massage, and acupuncture – may also be used.
Levels of Care
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Aftercare Support, Dual-Diagnosis, Intervention, Outpatient, Residential, with additional therapies available as listed below.
Outpatient treatment plans cover diagnosis, detoxification, management, and counseling. They are a popular option for those who have graduated from inpatient facilities. Services in Texas include medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and individual and group therapy.
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.
Not everyone dealing with addiction is prepared to engage in a recovery program. Innovative Alternatives - Barker Ripley‘s Intervention Programs can be beneficial for these individuals. The individual’s friends and family will call and set up an intervention in or near Houston, TX, and at which a specialist will come and lead the discussion.
After treatment, addiction treatment can be frightening for newly sober people. Aftercare support provided by Innovative Alternatives - Barker Ripley is designed to give resources and help on a continued basis. It can involve finding housing in and around Texas, setting up 12-step meeting groups, continued medical monitoring, and counseling.
Therapies & Programs
Couples therapy aims to rebuild the trust between the partners. Partner’s involvement in the process will result in greater chances of treatment success. Couples therapy addresses financial issues, loss of trust, lack of intimacy, and physical abuse.
Family therapy is a set of therapeutic approaches that assumes that the entire family is a system. It utilizes the strengths and resources of the family to help the patient refrain from resorting to substance abuse. The impact of substance abuse is not just on the patient but on the entire family. Family therapy ensures that the patient gets adequate support from the family members after the treatment making the recovery process sustainable
- Family therapy guides all the members of the family to help the patient.
- It helps to repair relationships and improve communication between family members.
- It helps to keep the patient engaged and motivated throughout the treatment.
Group therapy is an important tool in recovery. Finding a peer group in Houston, TX and others who relate to your situation is a fundamental tool for recovery at Innovative Alternatives - Barker Ripley. Addiction tends to lead to isolation and feelings of uniqueness. The accountability and friendship that is found in group therapy can be more effective than any single other treatment approach. This is generally introduced early in recovery and is recommended as a lifetime treatment habit.
Trauma therapy is a way of addressing trauma while in a safe situation in order to heal. This may involve Innovative Alternatives - Barker Ripley managing individual or group counseling or both. Other forms of therapy have been proven to assist in healing past traumas.
Negative feelings are common in substance abuse disorders. If not recognized, they can cause co-occurring disorders. CBT involves strategies that help to change the thinking and behavioral pattern. It can be administered as a monotherapy as well as a part of combination therapy.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). It is a treatment method to work through traumatic memories to find resolution. This process utilized at Innovative Alternatives - Barker Ripley can reframe damaging experiences into something less frightening and reduces the control those memories have over you. It may involve eye movement, hand tapping or other small movements. It may assist in a more rapid healing of these events than other methods.
Rehabilitation is not just limited to bringing an individual out of addiction and achieving sobriety. It is considered complete only when an individual starts leading a normal and balanced life. Life skill therapy focuses on the various skills that help an individual to lead a normal life. Patients often do not take care of themselves, struggle professionally, and withdraw from social interaction due to addiction’s physical and emotional disturbances.
Life skills therapy helps people in Texas improve various personal, professional, and social skills such as cooking healthy meals, maintaining proper hygiene, budgeting, decision-making, time management, regulation of emotions, and effectively resolving interpersonal conflicts.
