Assisted Recovery draws heavily from the work of Dr.Joseph Volpicelli at the University of Pennsylvania Treatment Research Center.
Craving — the intense and overwhelming desire to
seek and consume alcohol — is the strongest and most difficult symptom
to treat. Thanks to naltrexone, cravings can be successfully treated, and
higher success rates are achieved by combining this medication with counseling
and relapse-prevention therapy.
The Assisted Recovery program is highly recommended for those patients who
have failed other therapies and feel that they are ready to take control
of their drinking.
Unique Features of All Programs at Assisted Recovery Include:
Evaluation by a psychiatrist.
Physical exam, blood and liver tests.
Inpatient or outpatient detoxification, if desired.
Anti-craving medications administered under supervision for three months or longer.
Individual and family therapy sessions when required.
Group therapy sessions designed to prevent relapse and assure long-term success.
Access to dedicated Internet chat.
Along with individual and group counseling,
CBT will help you identify and achieve your goals. Because of its educational
focus, cognitive-behavioral therapy is among the fastest and most effective
therapies for addiction treatment.
Patients do best if they attend counseling once or twice a week for at least
six months. Sessions are conveniently scheduled during day, evening, and weekends
hours.
Clients also have access to a dedicated Internet chat 24 hours a day.
