Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient or residential drug or alcohol rehabilitation refers to the individual being admitted into a program where they will reside for a designated period of time. After a thorough medical and psychological evaluation, they will begin the detox and withdrawal phase of recovery. An inpatient facility is the safest place to undergo detox, as there are medical personnel monitoring the process and administering medications to ease withdrawal symptoms.

During inpatient treatment, the individual will participate in a diverse program of therapy and education scheduled throughout the day. Individual counseling, group counseling, and family group offer a comprehensive approach to therapy. Guest speakers often provide informative and inspirational lectures on site, and 12-step meetings, non 12 step rehab meetings, or a similar program, promote social support. Most inpatient addiction programs also offer augmented therapeutic activities that aid in reducing stress and teaching new relaxation techniques. These activities may include meditation, art therapy, yoga, massage, acupuncture, brain training techniques, and recreational activities.

Medication is a common component of addiction treatment. Certain drugs can ease cravings and withdrawals, and others may be used to treat depression or anxiety. This is why many inpatient facilities have a psychiatrist and/or a medical doctor on staff.

Outpatient Rehab

Once someone completes an inpatient program, they may find it useful to support newfound recovery with the services of an outpatient rehab. Outpatient addiction treatment is a step down in intensity from inpatient, so it is not appropriate for those battling a severe addiction. For those who have a mild drug or alcohol problem or have completed an inpatient program, outpatient rehab is a solid option. Someone participating in an outpatient rehab can choose to live at home, allowing them to continue to go to their job and tend to their family, or they can choose to stay in sober living housing.

Outpatient Services

The intake team will first evaluate someone entering an outpatient program so that an individualized treatment plan can be devised. The case manager will oversee the individual’s progress and create treatment milestones. Treatment in an outpatient program is similar to that of an inpatient program, but to a lesser degree of intensity. Treatment offerings include individual therapy, group counseling, addiction education, medication management, relapse prevention, and participation in 12-step or non 12-step meetings.

Dual Diagnosis Idaho Treatment Programs

Although mental health experts still do not know which comes first, it is common for someone battling an addiction to also suffer from a mood disorder or mental health condition. These co-occurring conditions set up a vicious cycle of using drugs or alcohol to offset or soothe symptoms of anxiety or depression, which in turn causes the symptoms to worsen and can result in addiction to the substance. This is called dual diagnosis, a symbiotic relationship that has developed between two disorders. Experts at a dual diagnosis treatment program understand the special nuances associated with co-occurring disorders and are the best treatment option for a successful recovery.

Mental Health Idaho Treatment Programs

Mental health disorders may have multiple causal factors, including genetics, past traumas, brain chemical imbalances, and difficult life events. Living with a mental health disorder is draining, discouraging, and debilitating. Sometimes, the treatment one might receive through a private doctor is simply not providing the relief from symptoms. In these cases, seeking the broader treatment offerings at a mental health treatment center may be an appropriate treatment decision.

PHQ-9 Depression Screening

Achieve TMS offers an online version of the commonly used Depression Screening tool called the PHQ-9. The nine items of the PHQ-9 are based directly on the nine diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder in the DSM-IV.

Mental Health Treatment Facilities

Because of the wide range of severity among mental health disorders, there are specific treatment programs designed to provide the right level of care to address the particular disorder. For example, someone suffering from schizophrenia or psychosis would be best treated at a psychiatric hospital where the mental health disorder can be adequately monitored and stabilized. Someone with major depressive disorder may do best at a setting that evokes calm, such as a rural setting. There are mental health treatment programs in residential homes, medical facilities, and hospitals that treat depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and eating disorders. Treatment for a mental health disorder will consist of a combination of medications and psychotherapy, in addition to adjunct therapies that promote relaxation.
