Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health – Cleo Wallace

Mental Health

With residential addiction treatment, you live in a rehab facility while receiving mental health services. Rehabs offer 24/7 care provided by clinical and mental health staff. A typical inpatient program lasts 28-30 days, but some last for several months. Standard mental health services include group and individual counseling, with addiction and relapse prevention education. Amenities, like recreational offerings, vary by facility.

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs offer a wide variety of services and levels of care to align with clients’ unique and evolving needs. Outpatient care is best suited for clients who are stable and for those who wish to remain at home while receiving treatment. Clients typically receive addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training, including participating in evening, night, and weekend sessions to accommodate clients’ schedules. Clients at an increased relapse risk may receive more frequent and intensive treatment.

Inpatient

They provide intensive residential and day treatment services to both males and females ages 12 to 21. Devereux Colorado is able to provide patients with the intensive psychiatric treatment they need within a highly structured and therapeutic setting. Youth admitted to Devereux Colorado must meet the criteria for a DSM-IV diagnosis and have mental health needs that are best-served in a residential setting.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Aftercare Support

Each youth is paired with a Transition Specialist with comprehensive knowledge of resources in specific regions that youth and families may need. Transition Specialists will assess and develop an individualized plan for each youth, with may include the following: Ongoing Assessment, Mentoring, Restorative Justice, Health and Safety, Housing, Employment and Career Development, Educational Support, and Independent Living Skills.

Sober Living Homes

Residents of a sober living home in Colorado are encouraged to continue to develop coping skills and habits they learned in treatment. They can typically live at the halfway house as long as they want, until they feel they are ready to transition home. During their stay, they must adhere to house rules, which may include contributing to household chores, abiding by a curfew, and maintaining a job.

Animal Therapy

Animal therapy (aka pet therapy or animal-assisted therapy) can be very healing, as it allows patients to bond with animals, who give unconditional love. This is particularly useful for those who suffered trauma by the hands of people, who may be able to trust and form closer attachments to animals than humans at certain stages of rehabilitation.

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). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Creative Arts Therapy

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Equine Therapy

Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.

Family Therapy

When serving the youth in their program, they also focus on the family. At Devereux Colorado, they use the broad definition of family. It may include a mother, father, foster family, guardian, or another significant adult in the child’s life. Family therapy is provided by the clinician one to two times per week in accordance with the child’s specific treatment needs. Family therapy aims to teach both the client and family skills not only to maintain gains made during treatment, but facilitate further improvement independent of therapy.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is provided for all clients. The format and frequency of group therapy depends on the treatment needs of clients. A variety of group therapies are available, including intensive group psychotherapy, social skills training, sexual abuse survivors group, psycho educational groups, anger management groups, substance abuse groups, and community meetings.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is generally provided 1-2 times per week by the child's clinician in accordance with the child's specific treatment needs. In addition to traditional therapy sessions, individual therapy may consist of in-vivo applications of coping and problem-solving skills, called guided practice. Guided practice has been shown to increase generalization of newly acquired skills. All individual therapy is conducted by master’s level, licensed or licensed-eligible clinicians under supervision.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. TDevereux Colorado’s Employment Training Program is designed to provide today’s youth with the guidance required to get and maintain employment. With varying degrees of guidance, the Employment Training Program includes three tracks to allow for the flexibility necessary to encourage growth in all types of candidates. From ten work sites on the Devereux Colorado campus, to working with businesses in the community, the client will be supported by a trained job coach to achieve maximum growth.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
