Outpatient

Outpatient rehab enables clients to continue to work, attend school, or reside at home while undergoing treatment, including addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Evening, night, and weekend sessions are available at many facilities to ensure continuous access to care on the client’s schedule. Many centers also offer ancillary services, such as career coaching and peer mentoring, to promote clients’ sustained recovery and community integration. Higher-level outpatient treatment, including intensive outpatient (IOP) care, is also widely available.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs provide an intermediate level of care, often supporting clients’ transition from inpatient rehab to outpatient treatment. Most IOP programs require a minimum of nine therapeutic hours weekly, but clients may receive up to 20 hours of care, with the intensity and frequency of care declining as clients grow stronger in their sobriety. Intensive outpatient treatment generally combines addiction counseling, recovery education, holistic therapies, and, for some, medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Inpatient

The Kennett Adolescent CSTAR program has two (2) residential group homes which are located on the same campus as the business office/treatment center. The group homes provide separate living quarters for male and female adolescents. Both group homes provide a relaxing, comfortable home like environment. Activities in the group homes include structured therapeutic group sessions, relaxing positive leisure time activities and life skills lessons. It also provides 24-hour supervision, with up to 60-hours of structured therapeutic activities per week.

12-Step

Participants are expected to regularly attend 12 step meetings and to be mentored in their recovery journey by a self-selected sponsor. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public. A variety of formats are available, including programs for seniors, teens, family members, and nondenominational Christians.

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.

Family Therapy

Family Therapy is strongly encouraged and is scheduled on a case-by-case basis in order to promote access to services. The Family Therapist works directly with the family to schedule appointments. Family Therapy is a planned, face-to-face, goal oriented therapeutic interaction with a qualified staff member in accordance with an individualized recovery care plan. The Family Therapist works with each family to identify family strengths, needs and preferences. The purpose of family therapy is to address and resolve problems in family interaction related to the substance use problem and recovery.

Group Therapy

Specialized group counseling topics include, but are not limited to: Moral Reconation Therapy, Anger Management, Relapse Prevention, gender specific groups, trauma groups and co-occurring specific groups.

Individual Therapy

Various treatment modalities are provided by appropriately trained staff to include, but are not limited to: Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Moral Reconation Therapy, Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment and Relapse Prevention Therapy.

Life Skills

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.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

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.
