Do You Treat Addiction and Mental Illness?
Yes, at Footprint to Recovery, we treat both addiction and mental illness. Our integrated treatment approach addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of these conditions, as we believe that they are closely intertwined.
We understand that many individuals struggling with addiction may also have underlying mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or PTSD. These co-occurring disorders can often exacerbate each other, making it difficult for individuals to fully recover without addressing both.
That’s why our team of experienced professionals includes licensed therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in treating mental health disorders. They work closely with our addiction specialists to provide comprehensive care for our clients with a dual diagnosis.
Common Rehab Questions and Answers
Below is a list of common questions about rehab and their answers.
Pre-Treatment Questions
It’s likely that if you’re reading this, you or someone you know is tired of the way your life is at the moment. Addiction can take many forms and is often difficult to identify within oneself. You may benefit from treatment if you fit any of the following DSM-5 criteria:
- You’ve been unsuccessful in your attempts to quit on your own.
- It’s difficult to imagine how you will cope without drugs or alcohol.
- Your addiction has negatively affected areas in your life such as job, relationships, or health.
- The need for change is there, but you just don’t know where to start.
- You have experienced withdrawal symptoms when attempting to stop using.
The goal of treatment extends further than being physically clean and sober. The real purpose is to help you create a life where you no longer feel the need to use drugs and alcohol.
One of the first things we emphasize in treating addiction is that every individual’s needs are different. There is not a set period of time that applies to everyone when it comes to treatment. Studies have found that those who spend three months or longer in treatment programs have better rates of long-term sobriety. We offer 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day programs and clients can continue their time in treatment for even longer if needed. When deciding how long to spend in treatment, it is helpful to consult with a professional.
Compared to the toll addiction takes on your overall health and happiness, treatment cost seems minuscule. However, we understand that the cost of addiction treatment is among the top concerns for individuals and families when considering treatment.
Our trained, experienced, and knowledgeable admissions coordinators work alongside our team of financial advisors to help you determine the best financial plan.
With a variety of financing options, affordable pricing structure, and a team of people working for you, you may find that you can receive the help you need without breaking the bank. Check out our payment options page for more information.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) estimated that almost 8 million American adults battled both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder, or co-occurring/dual diagnosis disorders. It is not uncommon for those struggling with addiction to also experience depression, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms. In fact, many of our clients present with co-occurring mental health disorders, which are addressed within our dual diagnosis treatment programs.
When preparing for treatment at a recovery center, it’s important to know what to bring with you. By being prepared and having the right items, you can ensure that your transition into treatment will be smooth and successful. The following are some essential items that we recommend bringing with you when entering treatment:
- Health insurance card
- Driver’s license ID
- Prescription medications and/or scripts
- Appropriate clothing
- Toiletries
Questions About Treatment
You’re now officially a part of the Footprints to Recovery community! Upon arrival, you will meet with members of our team who will help you get settled in, answer questions, and give you a tour of the facility. You will then have the opportunity to meet with some of your treatment team, such as a case manager, a primary counselor, and peers. It is likely the day will be broken up between individual and group meetings. First days are often anxiety provoking. We do our best to make yours as simple and stress-free as possible.
For inpatient detox and residential treatment, clients are not permitted to use their cell phones or laptops during their stay to fully disconnect from outside influences and distractions. This allows them to focus entirely on their recovery and fully engage in connection with peers and the clinical programming designed to support their healing. Clients’ phones are stored safely and phone time is permitted by landline following 7-day blackout period, or on a case-by-case basis in specific circumstances, case management, or therapeutic purposes. Following the 7-day blackout, clients are permitted two 5-minute phone calls per day from our facility landline.
In outpatient treatment, clients can use their cell phone and laptop. We just ask that you refrain from using personal items like these while participating in individual and group sessions.
Successful treatment and sustained recovery involve more than just addressing your presenting symptoms. We’ll work with you to develop a personalized plan that incorporates individual, group, or family therapy sessions to help you work towards finding and healing from the root causes of your addiction. We also pride ourselves on continuously discovering and making use of new methods, research, and treatments. Our treatment philosophy could be summed up in four words: individual, evidence-based, holistic, and progressive.
While peer-to-peer support can be very effective for moral support, it’s crucial to have professionals treating your loved ones. Our team of knowledgeable and experienced staff includes a variety of behavioral health professionals, such as:
- Physician Assistant
- Nurse Practitioner
- Registered Nurse
- Licensed Professional Counselors
- Clinical Therapist
- Licensed Clinical Social Workers
- Licensed Addiction Counselor
- Certified Addiction Technician
- Behavioral Health Technician
- Case Manager
Many of our staff are Doctoral and Master’s level clinicians. In addition, several individuals on our team who have had personal experiences with substance abuse, assisting clients ability to relate with them on a deeper level.
We recently asked people in our community what their biggest fear while seeking treatment was. While there was a variety of answers, we noticed a common theme: social rejection; fitting in, being accepted, or identifying with others. This does not come as a surprise, as we know with change often come uncertainty and fear.
We then asked these same individuals if their fears came true and, if not, what happened instead. We’re happy to say, 100% had the opposite experience. A common theme emerged again: acceptance; “now I’m a part of something,” no judgments, understood, and support.
Addiction is a battle that is tough to fight alone. Being surrounded by individuals who can or may try to understand how you are thinking/feeling can be a huge comfort.
Post-Treatment Questions
Those who participate in ongoing aftercare following treatment have the greatest chance of avoiding relapse. Every treatment program at Footprints to Recovery involves the development of a personalized continuing care plan. You will work with others in the program and your treatment team to identify details such as recovery-related activities, daily coping skills, and support groups, as well as recognizing triggers. The goal is for you to leave treatment feeling confident, hopeful, and prepared!
Throughout your time with us, you will learn about all of the ways in which you can remain a part of Footprints to Recovery’s community. We even have a dedicated alumni coordinator whose #1 priority is helping you maintain recovery and stay connected to our community. Those who have gone through our program are often involved in speaking engagements and community events. Some even come back to work for us!
Currently 5 out of 9 patients are employed by the completion of treatment. Whether it’s exploring career options, building a resume, or networking with organizations that we partner with specifically for job placement, we have a substantial amount of employment resources.
Questions About Friends, Family, or Loved Ones
All relationships are different. The involvement of friends and family in an individual’s treatment will differ with each client. We offer several resources for loved ones wishing to help a client throughout their recovery journey. From attending couples counseling and family therapy to self-education and filling out questionnaires, there are many levels of family involvement that can give parents, siblings, spouses, and friends the opportunity to support their loved ones and address their own wounds.
During treatment, each client is assigned a primary counselor who will work with him or her on goals and treatment planning. Identifying the level of involvement of those closest to them will be a part of this process. If a client wishes to include their loved ones in their treatment experience, their primary counselor will reach out to discuss your participation in family therapy sessions. If you have more questions before, during, or after your loved one’s stay, you can always reach out to us directly.
Our admissions team is available 24/7 to listen to your story and help you get started with the next steps.
