Relapse Prevention Group
After initial evaluation, Harrison House staff can coordinate the outpatient programs for individuals depending on gender or peer group . Programs can be specifically designed to meet clients needs in relations to work requirements and scheduling. Harrison House conducts various group meetings throughout the day and evening. Individual counseling sessions may be scheduled by appointment.
The outpatient rehab program is designed to provide up to nine months of primary or continuing care. Client may enter outpatient treatment in one of three ways. The day treatment graduates often attend outpatient for continuing care. Clients who have completed another residential or inpatient program may also enroll here. Finally, clients may be directly admitted to the outpatient program for primary care.
Intervention
Family and friends of prospective clients frequently ask, "How do you motivate someone who doesn't want treatment?" The answer is "With much compassion and concern as possible" and sometimes results in an intervention.
The first step is a free consult to determine if NOW is the appropriate time and recommend proper level of care for rehab. The consult is also used to organize the actual event and decide who will be involved in it. Once the specifics have been established the Harrison House staff will assist the family through an often difficult and emotional process.
Unfortunately some interventions are not successful, especially on the day of the event. Our staff will train and help family through those situations. It is important to understand the primary goal of the intervention is to help the loved one realize how much the family cares, is concerned and how much they want that person back in their lives.
Philosophy
Harrison House recognizes the unique needs of the chemically dependent person. We take special interest in advocating for those with employment and legal issues. Our counseling focuses on the individual. The experienced staff at Harrison House is adept at assisting the client to connect to his or her alcohol and drug use with problems in their life. Additional importance is placed on helping the family through this difficult process. We offer a once per week family education program for residents and will conduct individual family meetings on an as needed basis.
