Residential treatment is an intensive form of care that offers individuals round-the-clock supervision and support within a nonhospital setting to treat substance use disorders (SUD) and mental health disorders. Turning Point Centers provides two separate facilities so that we can treat alcohol and drug addiction and mental health disorders separately.
Participants will be required to remain at our treatment facility for an agreed-upon period of time to engage in various counseling, behavioral therapies, and recreational activities that address the physical, emotional, behavioral, and social elements of addiction and mental health disorders. Our personalized treatments can last anywhere between 30 days to six months or more, depending on the types of therapies provided and individual progress.
What to Expect From Residential Treatment?
Upon admission, each participant will be assigned a case manager to help them settle in and start their recovery journey. Our physicians will examine you for any medical needs that should be included in the treatment plan, provide medication-assisted treatment interventions (if necessary), monitor you during treatment phases, diagnose and treat any co-occurring conditions, and serve as your long-term source of recovery support.
At Turning Point Centers, we provide an integrated system of care that incorporates the best clinical and medical practices, comprehensive patient measurement and engagement tools, and procedures to ensure that everyone receives a tailored treatment plan. During your stay at our residential treatment facility, you will have access to private rooms, chef-prepared nutritious gourmet meals, sweat lodges, and a gym with racquetball and basketball courts. Furthermore, our highly skilled and compassionate team will be by your side every step of the way.
Types of Therapies Provided
Every week, our physician-directed treatment includes several hours of group therapy as well as three individual therapy sessions. We work closely with our participants and their families to provide opportunities for learning, growing, and enjoying the benefits of a healthy life.
Here are a few types of therapies provided by Turning Point Centers to help you in your recovery journey:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – uses cognitive restructuring as the basic facilitator to identify and change maladaptive thought processes, beliefs, and perceptions that negatively influence behavior and emotions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – helps teach individuals how to accept themselves and their situations, learn specific skills to manage them, and make positive life changes. Unlike cognitive-behavioral therapy, DBT is mostly utilized in group settings.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-Informed Care – is an evidence-based treatment strategy that explores the link between substance abuse and trauma. Individuals learn about the influence of trauma on their substance abuse and vice versa, providing them with the tools they need to cope with their experiences.
Self-Care
Self-Care – is a group therapy that teaches individuals how to take care of themselves in different areas of their lives, including physical, emotional, relational, spiritual, and psychological. It emphasizes the importance of eating healthy, sleeping well, exercising regularly, and caring for their mental health.
Family Therapy
Family Therapy – We’ve discovered that family group sessions are useful for both individuals in therapy and their loved ones. Relationships strengthen, safety is created, judgments are cast aside, and individuals and families are more eager to collaborate in order to promote and maintain recovery.
Conflict-Resolution
Conflict-Resolution – is a group therapy that aims to help individuals improve communication, problem-solving, and conflict-resolution skills. Individuals are taught how to effectively respond to powerful emotions, manage anger and conflict without violence, and see a different point of view.
Psychotherapy Process Group
Psychotherapy Process Group – is a group therapy that helps individuals better understand their daily struggles, fears, anxieties, and worries. Through feedback given by peers and therapists, individuals increase their awareness about themselves, their world, and how they relate to others. This process helps individuals identify what they need to change in their personal lives.
Psychoeducation and Life Skills
Psychoeducation and Life Skills – is a group therapy that aims to help individuals learn more about themselves, understand the reasons behind their actions, learn certain life skills, and identify the changes needed for a healthy recovery.
Men and Women in Recovery
Men and Women in Recovery – is a group therapy designed to help men and women process gender-specific topics relating to stereotyping, sexism, racism, social stigma, prejudice, and discrimination.
Recovery Management
Recovery Management – Individuals learn skills to create a healthy, conductive lifestyle for long-term recovery by addressing how to create a life with meaning and purpose, identify and cope effectively with internal and external triggers, and adhere to professional and educational commitments.
Recreational Therapy
Recreational Therapy – helps individuals explore their feelings, increase self-awareness, and creatively express themselves. Individuals utilize various forms of recreational therapies, such as art, music, yoga, rope, mindfulness, and meditation therapies, which enable healing.
Shame Resilience
Shame Resilience – is a group therapy that helps individuals recognize shame as a universal experience, understand where shame comes from, encourage them to be open about discussing their feelings, and invite them to embrace their authentic selves and living.
Experiential Education
Experiential Education – Individuals participate in activities that foster self-acceptance, identify individual strengths, challenge areas that need emotional growth, improve communication skills, develop a sense of belonging, and promote emotional wellness.
Each of the above therapies serves a unique purpose, but collectively they help a person reach full recovery and return to a healthy, active lifestyle. Because we understand the complexities of alcohol and drug addiction and how it impacts each individual’s well-being differently, we provide a variety of behavioral therapies, physician-directed care, and medication-assisted treatment when clinically indicated. This combination is more effective than any single non-12-step approach.
Benefits of Residential Treatment
One of the main benefits of residential treatment is its round-the-clock care and supervision from a multidisciplinary team of consultants, therapists, nurses, other specialists, and caregivers.
Other benefits of residential treatment include:
Removal of triggers
Removal of triggers – Residential treatment removes individuals from their familiar environment so they can stay away from triggers and focus solely on their recovery.
Different modalities of therapy
Different modalities of therapy – Residential treatment programs take on a holistic approach to treatment, meaning they offer different modalities of therapy to treat the mind, body, and soul.
Structure and routine
Structure and routine – Residential treatment provides structure and routine, which prevents or reduces the risk of relapses. It also helps people to focus on themselves without the distractions of a job, school, friends, and family.
Frequent sessions
Frequent sessions – Residential treatment programs provide more frequent sessions than any other form of treatment.
Support system
Support system – Residential treatment provides a supportive environment for long-term recovery. It allows patients to associate with and be around people who are going through similar situations so that they can support and encourage each other.
The Ideal Candidate for Residential Treatment
Although residential treatment facilities are appropriate for anyone with an addiction and/or mental health disorder, it’s also ideal for individuals who:
- Have a dual diagnosis
- Have tried lower levels of care (such as outpatient treatment or IOP) with little success
- Lack of appropriate support system at home or in their community
Residential treatment may also be suggested in instances of diagnostic ambiguity. Mental health professionals may place an individual at a residential treatment facility to better understand their symptoms, behaviors, and emotions.
What Happens After Residential Treatment?
After completing residential treatment, participants will either be advised to step down to a lower level of care, such as outpatient treatment or provided help to transition into a sober community. Turning Point Centers provide a lifetime of aftercare for all our program graduates at no additional cost. We recognize that active participation in the recovery community is crucial to remaining clean and sober. Our commitment to continued involvement with our graduates involves making certain that we are deeply rooted in the communities we serve.
If you or a loved one is struggling with an addiction or a co-occurring disorder, don’t hesitate to get in touch with a member of our helpful staff. Our admissions advisers are delighted to spend as much time as you need answering your questions and helping you find the right treatment program. We are here to help you in any way we can.
