Harbor House Chemical Dependency

Outpatient

Clients stepping down from inpatient care or who prefer to remain at home while receiving intensive treatment may choose to enroll in an outpatient rehab. Outpatient day treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are designed for clients requiring more robust supervision and daily treatment. Standard outpatient services enable clients to attend addiction counseling and recovery education throughout the week, with many centers offering weekend, night, and evening sessions to accommodate clients' work and family schedules.

Inpatient

Inpatient rehab provides a highly supportive and structured environment for clients in early recovery and for those who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Clients remain at the treatment center for the duration of their programs, though some inpatient rehabs offer supervised group excursions. Clients engage in intensive individual, group, and or family counseling. They may also receive recovery-focused life skills training to support their sustained sobriety and community reintegration. Many programs offer holistic therapies, such as meditation.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) require substantive support as they prepare to transition into standard outpatient (OP) care or community-based recovery programs, such as AA. Most IOP clients are in early recovery or are at an elevated relapse risk. Intensive outpatient treatment generally involves multiple, extended sessions weekly. Many programs require clients to participate in a minimum of nine therapeutic hours weekly. The most common treatment modalities include psychotherapy, recovery education, and medication assisted treatment.

Aftercare Support

Clients engaged in a rehab aftercare program approach recovery as a life-long process. Drug rehab aftercare encompasses myriad services designed to promote clients' continued sobriety as they reintegrate into their home, workplace, and community. Clients generally partner with their case managers and recovery team to define their recovery needs and goals and to identify and access the services they need to promote them. These often include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction.

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). An important part of all Twelve Step recovery programs deal with spiritual discovery. Part of the recovery process is realizing that there is a power greater than the power of each individual. An individual’s road to prolonged sobriety can best be achieved by developing a relationship with a Higher Power that is meaningful to that individual.

Sober Living Homes

Men who have completed the Secondary Program have the opportunity to apply for admission to the Extended Transitional Program (also referred to as Phase III). This program allows a client to remain in residential treatment for up to 9 months from the date they were first admitted to Harbor House. Phase III is not simply an extension of the Secondary Program; rather, it is to become role models for other clients and leaders in the recovery community. This program offers boundless possibilities in pursuing a new lifestyle and a fresh beginning. Phase III clients are given more freedom. They also help with the daily operation of the facility, such as monitoring the menu and grocery list preparation and inventorying supplies and equipment. They also serve as mentors for new clients, offering them guidance in adjusting to secondary treatment and introducing them to members of the recovery community. The Phase III program benefits the Transitional Program as a whole as much as it benefits those clients who enter it. The ultimate goal for the Phase III program is to allow clients to remain in treatment for a sufficient length of time to develop confidence in themselves, their Higher Power, and their support groups to make a successful transition into the broader community. Some of the objectives that are set for Phase III include saving money in preparation for independent living, clearing up legal and financial problems, making amends to family members and others and continuing Twelve Step work with sponsors.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Recommended as a flexible and intensive addiction treatment option, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is often used as an alternative to inpatient rehab. With daily sessions typically lasting up to six hours for five days a week, PHP treatment provides evidence-based therapies and medical care while allowing you to return home every evening. The length of PHP treatment varies based on your needs, but it averages 90 days.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Alcoholism

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.

Drug Addiction

For those seeking help with addiction, a drug rehab in Mississippi offers the necessary care to achieve long-term recovery. Options include inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and long-term drug rehab in Mississippi.

Opioid Addiction

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.

Substance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

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

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.

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

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.

Motivational Interviewing

Counselors who apply motivational interviewing take on the roles of listening and reflecting. Their goal is to facilitate conversation about change and commitment to change. They offer support and seek to empower the client to make changes in their life.

Family Therapy

The Family Program is available to all interested parties. It focuses on information and education about the disease of addiction and is held at the South Jackson campus on Thursday evenings (for a total of six sessions). The major goal of the Family Program is to provide families and friends with information and education that allows them to understand the disease of addiction and what they can do to begin the process of recovery. Families are affected by addiction in many ways and they suffer many consequences; their own recovery is essential for their welfare and for that of the client. Families in the Program can sign up for a formal family conference. The Family Program covers the same six-week curriculum as that of the educational program for clients. At the start of each session the topic for the evening is introduced, followed by a film, a brief lecture and a discussion circle that includes the clients whose families/friends are in attendance. The last fifteen minutes of the Program allow for clients and families to visit and continue their discussion together in small groups. The films provide information on the medical aspects of addiction, the stages of recovery, the signs and symptoms of relapse, spiritual advice on the dangers of enabling, behaviors associated with denial and client testimonials about relapses associated with cross addictions.

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.

Nutrition Therapy

Substances may suppress your appetite, block the absorption of vitamins, affect metabolism, or otherwise wreak havoc on your health. Nutrition therapy addresses these concerns by teaching you about the best foods for recovery and how to create a nutritious meal plan that supports healing and long term health.

Experiential Therapy

The purpose of the Ropes Course, which is also called adventure based counseling, is to challenge groups of individuals to work together as a team to overcome obstacles in an effort to reach their goals -- those set by the facilitator and those set by the participants themselves. As opposed to the typical “feelings groups,” in which residents sit around a circle and work through concerns verbally, this approach to group therapy places participants in a hands-on learning situation. The Course takes place over two days (4 hours each day).
