Residential Treatment Centers

While many have heard about residential treatment centers, few actually know what goes on inside of them or the services they provide. A person not acquainted with a residential treatment center might think all you do is check in and not drink or drug, dry out, get medication and off you go. There is much more to them than this. Residential treatment centers have come a long way, just as other healthcare services have and few can match the quality of Lakeview Heath Systems residential treatment center.

Residential Treatment Center Services

A residential treatment center encompasses far more than just sitting around and not drinking. Before anyone is admitted they are evaluated by clinical assessment for their appropriateness and need for medical detox. It is important that you find a residential treatment center such as Lakeview’s where the medical detox is located on campus so that once the patient is medically stable; they immediately enter residential treatment and begin their true recovery process. Some of the services that will be provided include:

• Individual therapy
• Nutritional therapy
• Group process
• Experiential therapy
• Recreational therapy
• Relapse prevention
• Family therapy
• Aftercare planning

While in residential treatment, it is not unusual for the clinical team to discover patients suffering from co-existing disorders also known as a dual diagnosis. Residential treatment centers across the nation report that almost 45% of the people they treat require treatment for depression, anxiety or mood disorder in conjunction with their addiction or alcoholism. If this is the case our residential treatment center has a board certified psychiatrist trained in addiction medicine on staff to provide professional medical care for dual diagnosis.
