When I was addicted I had walked away from God and lived a life of sin. I finally saw the light and found the Lovelady Center. They helped me to get sober and taught me how to live again. Now I have a job and got to rebuild my life.
About the Facility
The Lovelady Center, in Birmingham, Alabama, is a faith-based drug and alcohol rehab for adult women. They offer long-term residential care and aftercare planning and support, including specialized programming for young adults, pregnant and postpartum women, women with young children, justice-involved women, and women with co-occurring disorders.
Treatment at The Lovelady Center begins with a comprehensive medical and mental health assessment and personalized care plan. The program specializes in court-mandated programming, including jail diversion and supervised reentry for clients on probation, parole, and supervised release. Self-referred clients from the general population are also welcome.
Their phased residential treatment program requires a minimum commitment of 12 months of inpatient care for most clients. Clients engage in intensive individual, group, and family counseling and robust, recovery-focused life skills training addressing topics such as coping, self-care, anger and stress management, financial and household management, parenting, and relapse prevention. The program prioritizes clients’ spiritual healing, including daily prayer and Bible study and regular attendance at chapel or church services. Clients are also expected to consent to random drug and alcohol screening, to adhere to program codes of conduct, and to pursue stable employment and continuing education in preparing to successfully reintegrate into their home, workplace, and community.

Treatment
Alcoholism
Alcoholism, also called alcohol use disorder (AUD), is defined as an impaired ability to stop or control drinking alcohol despite negative consequences. Whether the condition is mild, moderate, or severe, effective treatment is available through alcohol rehab in Alabama. Evidence-based therapies, mutual-support groups, and medications have all proven effective treatments alcohol addiction.
Drug Addiction
Drug rehab in Alabama provides medical or psychotherapeutic treatment for drug dependency. Methods of treatment often include a combination of medication, counseling, and recreational therapies.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
Mental health and substance abuse treatment in Alabama usually requires attending a dual-diagnosis facility on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Therapeutic interventions within co-occurring disorder programs include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns and behaviors related to addiction, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help with emotional regulation skills, and counseling to support your mental health. Combining these therapies ensures a comprehensive approach to address both aspects of your mental health and substance abuse.
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.

Levels of Care
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.
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
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.
