How First Step Behavioral Health Can Help
Overcoming addiction is hard work, but with the right treatment, anyone can recover. 1st Step Behavioral Health is here to guide you toward genuine and lasting sobriety. Through a range of specialized programs encompassing dual diagnosis support, holistic therapies, personalized treatment plans, and an emphasis on sustained care, we provide you with the optimal environment for a successful recovery journey.
Addiction Treatment Designed For Your Needs
1st Step Behavioral Health helps individuals by offering diverse treatment programs that are designed to meet each person’s unique needs. For many clients, especially those with severe drug or alcohol addictions, an inpatient program is the best place to start. Inpatient programs offer 24-hour care, nutritional meals, evidence-based therapy, and holistic treatments on a residential basis.
Inpatient programs are specifically helpful for people with moderate to severe addictions as well as people with co-occurring disorders. However, inpatient rehab isn’t right for everyone. Some people can benefit more from a partial hospitalization program (PHP) where they can receive a similar structure and support but without 24/7 supervision. Others prefer to live at home with their support system while participating in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) or outpatient program (OP).
Regardless of the level of care you start at, 1st Step provides everyone with the option to step down from one level of care to the next, gradually placing you in lower levels of care as your needs evolve. In small increments, your freedom grows as your ability to stay sober increases.
With so many choices available, most prospective clients are able to find a program that suits their needs.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment Options
1st Step Behavioral Health stands out by dedicating itself to understanding the complexities of your addiction. Often, addiction and mental health are intertwined, and addressing one without considering the other would be a great disservice to your recovery. That’s why our commitment to personalized care extends to dual diagnosis treatment.
Dual diagnosis care involves the simultaneous treatment of both substance abuse and mental health issues. Approximately half of those struggling with addiction also battle depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, or other mental illnesses. Addressing these challenges simultaneously not only prevents relapse but also paves the way for long-term sobriety.
A Whole-Person Approach With Supplemental and Holistic Therapies
While evidence-based therapies, including extensive talk and behavioral therapy, form the core of addiction recovery, supplementing them with holistic therapies enhances the treatment and recovery experience.
At 1st Step Behavioral Health, we provide patients with access to a diverse array of holistic therapies. Some of these therapies enhance physical well-being and blood circulation, while others facilitate relaxation. A handful of holistic options include:
- Chiropractic support
- Massage therapy
- Yoga
- Mindfulness meditation
- Acupuncture
