Alcoholism

Alcoholism is a condition that's characterized by physical dependence on alcohol and an inability to stop drinking. It can be extremely difficult to overcome an alcohol addiction without professional treatment. Alcohol rehab in Vermont offers the necessary tools and support to help you move forward in recovery. This process typically involves three phases of treatment: detox, rehab, and maintenance.

Drug Addiction

A person with substance dependence can achieve recovery through drug rehab in Vermont. Professional staff provide a combination of interventions that are designed to help you attain and maintain abstinence from drugs.

Dual Diagnosis

Vermont's specialized dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs provide comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. These programs offer evidence-based therapies, holistic approaches, experiential therapies, trauma-informed care, recovery support groups, and family counseling, to address both disorders and promote mental health. Many dual diagnosis rehabs offer alumni programs to help you sustain recovery after treatment.

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

There are a range of substance abuse treatment options in Vermont consisting of inpatient residential, outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization drug and alcohol rehabs. In these programs, you can typically expect to receive a comprehensive assessment, individualized treatment plan, individual and group therapy, skills training, family counseling, and educational groups. This integrated approach helps to overcome unhelpful coping strategies, increases your ability to manage stress, and supports you to prioritize your recovery.

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.

Sober Living Homes

If you’ve completed an inpatient treatment program, it can be difficult to re-enter life right away, with all its stresses and potential triggers. A sober living home in Vermont can help with this transition. While living there, you are free to work or attend classes and will be held accountable to sobriety and practicing recovery skills. Many residents stay in a men’s or women’s sober living home for six months or more.

12-Step

12 step programs strongly prioritize peer coaching and personal growth, creating a standard emulated by many treatment centers. Spiritual principles define the 12 step recovery paradigm and are designed to help participants address the root causes of their addiction, accept personal responsibility for their life choices, and relinquish control over that which cannot be changed. Participants regularly attend group meetings, which are free, peer-directed, and anonymous. They also select sponsors to mentor them in their recovery.

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).

Outpatient

Clients may choose to enroll in outpatient treatment to facilitate their transition out of intensive inpatient care. Working professionals and family caregivers may also prefer to remain in their home and community post-detox, making outpatient treatment an ideal option. Many facilities offer a full continuum of care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living, and standard outpatient programming. Psychotherapy, recovery education, evidence-based complementary therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT) are widely available in outpatient programs.

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Family Therapy

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.

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.

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.
