Levels of Care
Outpatient
Clients who are stepping down from inpatient care and those who prefer to remain at home during treatment may choose to enroll in an outpatient rehab. These facilities offer a comprehensive continuum of care designed to evolve with clients’ changing needs. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are designed for clients requiring frequent and high intensity treatment. Clients in outpatient care typically engage in individual, group, and family counseling and recovery-focused life skills training.
Inpatient
Men and women who require immediate stabilization, evaluation and treatment are cared for in one of four treatment units. Treatment is short-term and intensive, with average stay of eight days. Two inpatient units offer acute care and are staffed by clinicians and nurses who are specially trained to care for adults affected by anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), psychosis and other sever psychiatric conditions. Also there is an Inpatient Alcohol and Drug Unit offers specialized care to people who are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol and need detoxification as well as psychiatric intervention.
Medically Assisted Detox
In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals will be on hand 24/7 as your body is detoxing from addictive substances. As a result, you may experience physical and psychological side effects, such as mood swings, anxiety, nausea, or flu-like symptoms to help alleviate potential withdrawal symptoms, and keep you as safe and comfortable throughout this process.
12-Step
12 step programs may be found both in addiction treatment centers and in the community, where meetings are anonymous, free, and open to the public. These programs presume that sustained recovery depends on spiritual, psychological, and emotional growth and healing. Religious affiliation isn’t required, but the 12 step recovery model is based on the belief in a higher power. Peer sponsors support participants as they use the steps to cultivate self-awareness, forgiveness, acceptance, and accountability.
Aftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program helps men and women develop the skills to effectively manage depression, anxiety, substance abuse and many other psychiatric disorders.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
The Women's Partial Hospital Program at Butler Hospital helps women manage depression, anxiety, substance abuse, problematic behaviors and other psychiatric disorders. In the program, she will learn dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which helps manage suicidal thoughts, self-injurious behavior, and feelings that are overwhelming her. With a focus on practical problem-solving, the Women's Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Program teaches the skills needed to cope and effectively manage challenging relationships, situations, thoughts, and feelings. In an effort to change a very painful state of mind as a result of these challenges, she may be engaging in a variety of behaviors, such as self-injury, binge eating, reckless driving, compulsive cleaning, etc.
Electroconvulsive Therapy
According to the American Psychiatric Association, ECT is considered the most effective treatment for major depression for people who have not found relief of their symptoms from medications or other forms of therapy. ECT is most commonly recommended for people who have not found relief of their symptoms from medications or other forms of therapy used to treat major depression. Treatments are provided on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. For outpatient treatment, a family member, friend or health care worker must be available to help with transportation following the treatments.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
Family Therapy
Family’s involvement and others who play a significant role in the patient's life, is encouraged. They can be very important to the success of the treatment and recovery. However, no contact with the family or others will be made without patient's signed consent.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual Therapy
Individual Therapy includes one-on-one sessions between you and your therapist that incorporate the therapeutic approach that works best for each individual person. That may include any combination of therapy approaches such as psycho dynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, women's dialectical behavioral therapy and supportive and motivational therapy.
