Detox is the process during which your body rids itself of drugs or alcohol. It can be a dangerous process and should never be done at home. During your stay, you’ll get 24/7 supervision in a safe and quiet environment. They may give you medications to ease your symptoms and keep you safe. You may also be exposed to individual and group therapy sessions.
The crisis stabilization process is similar although this is for mental health challenges instead of substances. Anyone in emotional or mental distress can get compassionate, supervised care to help them stabilize.
Family counseling sessions allow loved ones to meet with their loved one’s therapist. Decisions are supportive and help families understand how mental illness and substance use affects the entire family. you'll discuss decision making and next steps.
During these sessions, you’ll learn about increasing communication, healthy boundaries and skills to work together as a family during this journey. Since the counselor knows your loved one well through individual sessions, they are able to help you and your family learn how to work together for the benefit of everyone involved.
Support coordination is also known as case management. For people who have different conditions, this support can help you make sure that you have access to all the services and programs you need. This could include physical, and even basic necessities. Trained staff will coordinate and collaborate with community partners and give you referrals to things like housing, food and clothing, and job training.
