Montana Chemical Dependency Center

About the Facility

Montana Chemical Dependency Center is a residential alcohol and drug treatment facility for men and women in Butte, Montana. They are a 48 bed facility (16 for men, 16 for women, with an additional 16 for withdrawal management services). They are a private facility in a residential location with modern amenities. MCDC offers a high level of intense care, so they only accept clients on referral from a Montana State Licensed Addiction counselor. Patients are closely monitored to ensure safety and proper care.

For most clients, detox must occur before they can receive treatment. It’s difficult for someone to focus on the treatment process while they are struggling with toxic substances in their system triggering withdrawal symptoms. During detox, clients are overseen by a professional medical system while their body removes these toxins.

Detox is closely monitored by staff, who help clients cope with the difficulties of withdrawal. They provide comfort and support during the process. Close monitoring allows them to make adjustments as needed.

The core of MCDC’s program is its inpatient care program. Clients accepted into the program (and who have completed detox, if required) reside on campus for the duration of treatment, where they are under 24 care and supervision. There is no average length of stay at MCDC.

Treatment is focused on therapeutic techniques that explore the nature of addiction and teaches clients coping skills so they can avoid engaging in addictive behaviors. Treatment plans include individual and group therapy, case management, education opportunities, peer support groups, and self improvement programs.

Clients have access to additional living services, such as transportation and exercise spaces and equipment. Treatment plans include free time for clients to relax and use as they see fit.

All rates are based on a client’s ability to pay, which is determined before admission.

Treatment

Alcoholism

Alcohol addiction (also called alcoholism or alcohol use disorder) is defined as a chronic disorder involving compulsive drinking of alcohol. Many treatment options are available for this addiction, based on frequency of consumption and severity of alcohol abuse. Most alcohol rehab in Montana involves detoxification, psychotherapy, and social supports. Family involvement is often encouraged, and ongoing support after rehab is essential.

Drug Addiction

A comprehensive drug rehab in Montana treats the entire person. Treatment methods address all the underlying causes of addiction and give the individual the tools they need to live a healthy, drug-free life.

Dual Diagnosis

Montana's dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs provide comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization levels of care are available. Therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and experiential therapy address both disorders simultaneously and promote overall health. The benefit of dual diagnosis is that both conditions are treated at the same time, drastically increasing the odds of successful long-term recovery.

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

In Montana, addiction treatment programs provide comprehensive care for individuals struggling with substance abuse. Levels of care include residential rehab, detox, and intensive outpatient programs. Substance abuse treatments include interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, educational groups, skills training, and family counseling. The benefits of substance abuse treatment are improved health and increased odds of long-term sobriety.

Levels of Care

Medically Assisted Detox

Often serving as the first step in the addiction recovery process, medically supervised detox involves weaning your body off addictive substances while in the safety of a medically supervised environment. If you are dependent on substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines, the associated withdrawal symptoms can not only be uncomfortable, they can be extremely dangerous. In medically supervised detox, a team of medical professionals can monitor your health, vital signs, and progression to ensure your maximum safety and comfort.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

12-Step

Addiction recovery based on 12 step program models emphasize emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth. The 12 step recovery strategy depends on intensive peer support, including regular attendance at group meetings, which are anonymous, free, open to the public, and available 365 days per year in most communities. Participants also receive one-on-one mentoring from a self-selected peer sponsor as they work through the 12 steps of recovery, which relate to self-awareness, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance.

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

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.

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.
