About Catholic Charities

Catholic Charities in Wilmington, Delaware, offers the Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor Workshop Series. This promotes professional development and growth by offering an introductory learning experience in substance abuse counseling. This 16 week 48 credit course aims to give students a thorough foundation in every area of addiction treatment.

Every 16 week session includes training on subjects intended to help counselors with pre-treatment, treatment and post-treatment issues in order to enhance results and promote clients’ long term high quality recovery. The course discusses the difficulties encountered in case management, intensive outpatient or inpatient treatment and outpatient treatment settings. Topics covered in class include the assessment process, screening, intake, orientation, the disease of addiction and an overview of treatment models.

They also provide education on cultural competency and counseling, treatment planning and the assessment and treatment of co-occurring disorders. They provide group counseling, individual counseling with a motivational approach and family addiction dynamics exploration. They offer counseling on preventing relapses, case management and documentation, and the function of 12 Step fellowships in the healing process.

Other topics include defense mechanisms, resistance in addiction treatment, crisis intervention, documentation and code of ethics. They also provide instruction in professional development supervision and consultation.

Medicaid and Medicare are among the majority of third party insurance plans that they accept. If you don’t have insurance you can ask for a discounted rate or pay for the course yourself. If you want your rate to be reduced you must be able to produce supporting documentation. Those who otherwise couldn’t afford to finish the program can now more easily manage the fees thanks to this sliding scale. Their clients are safeguarded by HIPAA and other federal confidentiality requirements.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. Children ages 0-17, living in Delaware, whose behavioral problems are severe enough to threaten their home, school, or day care placement can receive help through Catholic Charities Community-based Outpatient Counseling for Children Program. Intensive outpatient treatment is designed for the child who needs concentrated therapy, but can live at home and attend school or work during the day. It is generally viewed as an alternative to hospitalization, when appropriate.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients receiving services in a rehab aftercare program have typically completed detox or an inpatient treatment program. Aftercare programs provide customized, wraparound care to support recovery as a life-long process. Case managers, the recovery care team, and the client work together to identify and access services the client needs in order to support sustained sobriety.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
Offering an intensive form of rehab tailored to those who don't need 24-hour care, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is ideal for serious addiction disorders that may not fully respond to regular outpatient therapy. PHP can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option and is often fully covered by insurance. With daily sessions lasting six to eight hours, up to five days a week, PHP treatment can provide medication management, relapse prevention strategies, and behavioral therapy interventions.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Recovery is possible for those who complete drug rehab in Delaware. These programs specialize in providing an environment that encourages sobriety and a professional staff that provides the tools to overcome addiction. Participants receive a customized treatment plan tailored to their needs.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

When used in treatment sessions, cognitive behavioral therapy in Delaware has been shown to be an effective method to address a variety of mental health disorders, including substance use disorders. An advantage of this method is its ability to also address any co occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

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.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

The focus of trauma therapy in Delaware is on healing your emotional wounds from traumatic events you have experienced. Your therapist guides you through the process of confronting these memories and integrating them, which improves your emotional resilience and your mental well being.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Fully disabled funds were never given to me for oil last year went into the office six times trying to get help told me to call kept calling no one answering the phone. Never delivered me oil in 23 and now they’re doing it again in 24 everybody’s getting oil but me and Joan Dockerty told me this would not happen to me again. Joan Dockerty told me she would handle this personally and that they would not take my funds away againWe’re in November 2024 and I have no oil again Joan Dockerty did not process my application like she promised. I tried to fix it in Dover I tried to fix it and Wilmington never got funds last year and now this year again they’re doing it again.

Was in line this morning before 9a.m. There were 17 in line. About 7 of the people were just there dropping off additional documents. The African American woman in charge comes out and the first thing she says, Is we may not get to you all. I said there's only 12 of us. She DID NOT GO BY THE SIGN IN LIST. She did not address me, and I was one of three white people there for services. She cut the line off at 10:25 a m., saying they had seen their quota for the day. AND YOURE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING PEOPLE???
