What is Residential Treatment?

At Solutions Recovery, our Residential Treatment Program is committed to providing alcohol and drug treatment to substance dependent adults in a safe, secure and peaceful setting.

Clients participate in a minimum of 30 hours of therapeutic activity including individual counseling, group counseling, family counseling and 12-step meetings. This is in addition to the holistic services and amenities, which includes acupuncture, massage, and personal training.

During the treatment period, individuals live in a therapeutic community where their interactions are structured so that interpersonal skills are developed and enhanced. Clients learn such skills as taking care of themselves, helping others, getting along with others, effective communication and working through maladaptive behaviors in a supportive environment.

In addition, clients are encouraged to be accountable for their actions by their peers and counselors.

Treatment providers for Solutions Recovery are caring, experienced and highly trained practitioners in their respective fields. Integrating a holistic approach, our multidisciplinary treatment team provides customized, intensive, and clinically managed treatment services.

Solutions Recovery homes are located within carefully selected, quiet, suburban neighborhoods. The homes are amply furnished to provide a comfortable and upscale living environment. Our residential treatment program is offered in the comfort of a residence rather than a more restrictive setting, such as a hospital. Click here to view our residences.

Multi-Dimensional Therapeutic Approach
At Solutions Recovery we tailor our individual treatment programs to the client and his or her unique needs; we believe that each client deserves an individualized treatment approach in order to create the most effective treatment plan. Clients are assisted by a multi-disciplinary team of addictionologists, alcohol and drug counselors, physicians, psychiatrists, social workers and other professionals that work together in evaluating the client and his or her progress throughout the program.

Client Assessment
Each client will complete an assessment administered by a licensed, Master’s level clinician. The completed assessment will focus on addiction as well as cultural, employment, legal, medical, mental health and social needs.An individualized treatment plan is created with specific, measurable and realistic treatment goals. Treatment plans take into consideration the client's cultural and ethnic background, lifestyle, special needs, support systems as well as other pertinent factors.

Clients and staff continually work together to determine the needs and strengths of a client in order to develop a treatment plan designed to reduce or eliminate emotional, behavioral and situational obstacles to recovery. The treatment plan also aims to enhance the client’s skills and abilities to become a self-sufficient and productive member of society, and increase the client’s resources within the community. The client’s progress is regularly evaluated to determine if adjustments to the treatment plan are necessary or if modifications are needed for the continuing care/discharge plans.

Holistic Approach
Our approach to clinical care emphasizes the growth of all aspects of the individual--encompassing his or her cultural, economic, physical, psychological and social wellbeing. In an effort to promote physical wellbeing, we offer a variety of holistic services such as acupuncture, dietary meal plans, massage, personal exercise trainers and spa treatments.

Holistic services are provided so that the whole person is treated rather than the chemical dependency alone. These services are provided in an effort to offer additional motivation and also to increase the client’s receptiveness to the recovery process.

Introduction to the 12-Step Program
The 12-Step philosophy and fellowship, with its proven success in contributing to long-standing recovery, is a cornerstone of our program and provides recovery principles and tools as well as a support network for the client both during and following treatment. Within a structured, supportive therapeutic milieu, the client is assisted in shifting his or her dependence on chemicals to a reliance on self and others. Clients learn that while they may not be responsible for the disease of addiction, they are responsible for their recovery.

Solutions Recovery assists clients by helping them find a 12-Step group within their community as well as offering assistance in obtaining a sponsor. Every effort is made to ensure clients are part of the local recovery community and that they are aware of the services available to them.

After Care
Solutions Recovery understands that recovery is an ongoing process that continues well after treatment has commenced. During the first two years following the completion of the program, members attend a weekly group meeting in order to strengthen the recovery process.

An Alumni Group was created to help facilitate ongoing recovery. Alumni are encouraged to attend group events and functions offered on a monthly basis. In addition, we offer an alumni blog where members can share their experiences with one another and seek continued support.

Follow-up telephone outreach and data surveys are conducted during regular intervals to proactively assist clients by determining if extra assistance is needed following treatment.
