Understanding Partial Care Treatment for Alcohol Addiction

Iron Bridge - Understanding Partial Care Treatment for Alcohol Addiction

Partial care treatment, or partial hospitalization program (PHP), is a type of intensive treatment that can help you reclaim your health and well-being.  It provides the flexibility of a structured, science-based treatment plan that addresses your specific needs while also providing an opportunity to live at home over time.

At Iron Bridge Recovery Center, our partial care treatment changes lives. We offer advanced treatment methods and outstanding resources to put you on the path to long-term recovery. Contact us for immediate help for alcohol addiction treatment in Richmond.

 

What Is Partial Care Treatment?

Partial care treatment in Richmond provides short-term addiction treatment. It’s not as aggressive as residential treatment and is often a transitional step between residential and outpatient care. Our program requires you to attend care for 20 hours per week. You can expect:

  • Group meetings that cover multi-family systems
  • Big Book studies and a 12-Step supportive program
  • Peer-to-peer accountability
  • Individual treatment sessions
  • Early recovery skill development
  • Treatment for co-occurring disorders including anxiety and depression
  • Establishing and maintaining self-care activities

Every person’s care planning is individualized. We learn what your needs are and provide you with support designed to meet your specific symptoms and care goals. We then provide detailed aftercare and relapse prevention planning.

 

When Is Partial Care Treatment the Best Option?

Many people benefit from partial care treatment as a step-down level of care after residential treatment. Before you can enroll in this type of care, you’ll need a comprehensive, diagnostic evaluation to determine that you are medically stable and the right fit for this type of outpatient care program.

You may benefit from partial care treatment if:

  • You are struggling with needing to drink alcohol on a daily basis.
  • Your use of alcohol is impacting your ability to work, go to school, or meet other responsibilities.
  • You have an established mental health disorder or other mood disorder.

Our partial care treatment program is specific to those who have an established mental health care need. If you don’t yet have a psychiatric history, but a doctor or other licensed provider believes you have a mental health disorder, this care may fit your needs.

If you are facing active addiction, meaning you are still using alcohol and feeling the impact of withdrawal, you may be a better fit for our medically monitored detox program and transition into residential care. This type of in-depth care often provides the highest level of care. There are numerous types of alcohol addiction treatment available to you, and a comprehensive evaluation is the best first step in determining what type of care may be best suited for your needs.

 

How Partial Care Treatment Can Help You

This could be one of the most important decisions you make on your path towards long-term recovery from alcohol addiction. We encourage you to learn as much as you can about our treatment plan and what you’ll achieve here. Some examples of the goals we have for those who complete our partial hospitalization program include:

  • Recognizing and dealing with cravings for alcohol. Recognition means you can then avoid those temptations in a meaningful manner.
  • Communicating in an honest manner with others, ensuring you can communicate your needs.
  • Treatment of co-occurring mental health disorders that accompany your alcohol addiction, such as trauma, anxiety, and depression.
  • Being accountable for your actions.
  • Improving your ability to care for yourself.
  • Effective stress management methods.

You’ll learn and practice building a routine that addresses your mental and physical needs but also allows you to actively play a healthy role in your life with family and friends. Alcohol addiction can seem crushing and limiting to your future, but through our PHP plan, you gain control over those areas. You can choose what happens next in your life.

 

Does Alcohol Addiction Treatment Really Work?

Alcohol is such an incredibly challenging type of addictive substance because it is present throughout many parts of life. Yet, for anyone with an alcohol addiction, use becomes more intense and destructive of your life. That’s due to the way substances can change the function of your brain, making it impossible for you to control how much you use, when you drink, and what you do afterward.

Alcohol addiction treatment is highly effective within the right environment and through an individualized program designed for you. Partial care treatment helps you move from intense treatment to long-term recovery.
