The bad news is that chemical dependency is unquestionably one of the most wide-spread
and devastating health problems in the United States. The toll experienced by individuals
and families, as well as legal, financial and emotional problems is immense. The
good news is that help is just a call away.
The ROAD (Raft Outpatient Addiction Department) Program services adult patients
ages 18 and over with the following programs and services:
- Individualized Treatment Planning
- Bio-Psychosocial Assessment
- Therapy (Individual, Group and Family)
- Tandom Toxicology Screenings
- Psychiatric Evaluation
- Parenting Skills
- Pre-Vocational Services
- Annual Nursing Health Assessment
Patients are treated by a multi-disciplinary staff consisting of psychiatrists,
therapists, substance abuse counselors, social workers and nurses who provide consistent
compassionate care.
Through ongoing counseling and relapse prevention each patient collaborates with
his/her treating counselor in addressing their individualized needs and in overcoming
their addiction. Additionally, patients attending the partial hospital program receive
treatment for 5 hours per day for 5-days a week, where they can participate in group
and individual counseling services ranging from psychoeducation, relapse prevention,
psychosocial, to 12-step sessions.
Positive change is most often initiated and perpetuated through the family, which
is why the ROAD encourages parents and other adults to be involved in family
therapy sessions. All children and families are empowered to become aware of their
needs and how to address each of these needs and preferences. Through ongoing counseling
and as needed medication monitoring each child and family collaborates with his/her
treating psychiatric physician and psychotherapist in addressing their individualized
needs and in achieving emotional wellness and recovery.
