Aftercare Programming
The aftercare program focuses on providing continuing care, counseling, and support to adolescents and adults who have completed a structured inpatient or outpatient treatment program.
Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT)
Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) seeks to decrease relapse among offenders of substance abuse by increasing moral reasoning. This form of treatment is systematic and implements a cognitive-behavioral approach.
MRT addresses an individual’s ego, social, moral, and positive behavioral growth in a progressive, step by step design. The program consists of 12 steps that attempt to change how offenders make decisions and judgments by growing ethical rational.
Our 12 steps focus on seven basic treatment issues:
- Confrontation of beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors
- Assessment of current relationships
- Reinforcement of positive behavior and habits
- Positive identity formation
- Enhancement of self-concept
- Decrease in self-indulgence and development of frustration tolerance
- Development of higher stages of moral reasoning
This program is intended for individuals 18 years of age and older.
Intensive Outpatient Substance Use Treatment
Intensive outpatient services focus on providing treatment for individuals who are harmfully involved with alcohol or other drugs. The program provides individual, group, and family counseling and assists the individual in developing the skills necessary to remain substance-free and begin a recovery program.
