About Richard C Ward Addiction Treatment Center
The Richard C. Ward Addiction Treatment Center is located in the Hudson Valley city of Middletown, New York. They provide residential treatment for women who are experiencing substance use disorders. The cost of treatment is based on your income and no one is denied care due to an inability to pay.
Rich in heritage with historic architecture and artistic venues galore, Middletown is a great place to begin your recovery journey. You’ll be surrounded by creative outlets everywhere you turn, as well as lush green spaces like Highland Lakes State Park. These offer opportunities for exploration and inner reflection.
At this residence, they lean into the idea of holistic healing, combining it with other evidence-based treatments to take a whole-person approach to recovery. They strongly emphasize prioritizing self-care and encourage you to find expressive ways to focus on your well-being. This includes the practice of yoga, which can help you reconnect with your mind, body and spirit.
One of their main therapeutic methods is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which helps you change negative thoughts and emotions into more positive thinking patterns. This helps you gain more self-awareness, develop coping skills and manage heightened emotions. Some of their more unique treatment methods include interactive journaling and psychodrama. You’ll also participate in recreational activities and educational workshops to round out your treatment.
What really sticks out to me is their use of acupressure. This treatment helps reduce pain and can also improve sleep. It can even help with headaches. This can be so helpful and comforting during treatment, especially when you’re tired and feeling drained from doing so much inner work throughout the day.
Their medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program provides relief by lessening the impact of withdrawals and combating cravings. Their MAT program uses buprenorphine, Vivitrol and naltrexone. They utilize prescribed medication along with therapy and counseling services. Nicotine replacement therapies are also provided to help with nicotine withdrawal.
When you leave the program, you may want to spend some time exploring all that Middletown has to offer. From a charming downtown scene to a thriving academic presence thanks to SUNY Orange, it can serve as an ideal backdrop for your long-term sobriety.
