INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM…
Our "two phase" intensive outpatient substance abuse program is based on DiClemente and Prochaska’s “Stages of Change”, a transtheoretical model developed to lead clients through the stages of behavioral change necessary to overcome alcohol and drug abuse/dependency. Clients will begin in phase I of our program, which prepares the addicted person to quit using alcohol/drugs and prepares them for phase II, the action phase, where they will implement what they learned in phase I. Phase II will concentrate on building a foundation for recovery, building an outside support system, stress management and relapse prevention. We welcome the involvement of family members. After a client completes both phases of our intensive outpatient program, an aftercare plan will be created to help assure continued abstinence. And as with all of our groups, clients who successfully complete treatment are invited to continue attending their group, space permitting, for aftercare.

What is Acudetox?
Acudetox is a specific type of acupuncture treatment. It involves the gentle placement of five small, thin, sterilized, disposable stainless steel needles, called pins, in specific sites on each ear of the person undergoing treatment.
Acudetox is a non-verbal process that does not require extended interviews or the disclosure of personal information. Treatment benefits begin on the first day that you receive the pins.
Benefits
Acudetox has been shown to significantly decrease: cravings for alcohol and drugs, withdrawal symptoms, relapse, inpatient detox admissions, anxiety, insomnia and agitation.
Acupuncture treatments become more effective as time passes. Tolerance does not happen with Acudetox.
Acudetox treatment helps you become relaxed and more comfortable with your own thoughts, letting go of tensions and apprehensions, and the experience teaches you personal skills which help you in counseling, groups, and other challenges. This treatment supports quiet participation in a group with others who are involved in recovery. You will learn to develop your own space or comfort zone.
The treatment is simple and effective. You don't have to like it or believe that it works for it to be effective. The pins do their job. Acudetox enhances other program components. The more frequent the sessions, the more benefit you will notice.
