Question 1

Medical Detox

Accepted Answer

Medical detox is the first step into a full recovery. It is needed in order to rid the body of all the alcohol or drugs that have been used or abused. For most cases, detoxification from any drug needs to occur in a safe and medically overseen facility.

Peaks Recovery is medically staffed by a primary care physician, a psychiatrist, and around the clock nursing. The medical team acumen provides the safest medical detox in the state of Colorado. Unlike most drug and alcohol detox programs, our medical team is not contracted and is onsite throughout the day to ensure your safety and comfort.

Question 2

Residential Inpatient Rehab

Accepted Answer

Inpatient Residential Treatment is the highest level of care. It encompasses around the clock care and monitoring. All clients reside on the program campus, where they will attend all their individual therapy, medication management, group therapy, holistic therapies, and more. The methodology behind inpatient rehab is to create a safe environment for the patient to curb their addiction.

Paired with others suffering from the same ailment, they work with therapists, healthcare professionals, and counselors to dive deep into self-exploration. Ultimately, this alcoholism treatment method provides a haven for the patient and works to gift them the tools they will need once returning to their ‘outside lives.’

Peaks Recovery is licensed to provide both inpatient and residential drug and alcohol treatment services to adults of all ages. For the duration of programming, patients are housed in beautiful gender-separate housing providing a nurturing environment that promotes personal well-being and recovery.

Question 3

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Accepted Answer

A partial hospitalization program is a next step down after completing inpatient rehab. If necessary, a stabilized patient will transition into a sober living environment while still attending their needed classes, therapy sessions, or scheduled doctor appointments.

Question 4

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Accepted Answer

IOP is one of the more flexible levels of care and is usually only recommended to those who have completed an inpatient program. Intensive outpatient programming involves anywhere from nine to fifteen hours per week of clinical contact hours ranging from group counseling to individual sessions and on-going psychiatric evaluations. To achieve these hours you are encouraged to participate in group therapy for three hours a day over the course of three days or five days per week depending on the clinical recommendation.

Unlike inpatient and residential drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs, you can continue to live at home, continue with your job or school, and enjoy your additional free time with family and friends.

Question 5

Support Groups

Accepted Answer

While support groups are usually integrated heavily in the aftercare process of sobriety, they can also be the primary and only form of treatment. Plenty of AUD sufferers have found their Zen, purpose, and strength within groups such as AA (Alcoholics Anonymous)—being that they are paired with those in the same plight, and they find motivation via their sponsor’s encouragement, fostering their willpower alongside others.

These groups are as rewarding as they are encouraging. From addicts currently in the throes of alcoholism to seasoned veterans that have been sober for years, people from all walks of life sit down to support one another. The 12-Step program, created by AA, establishes a great structure that is coupled with a reward system for those trying to achieve sobriety.

From tools to mitigate the symptoms of AUD, a platform in which sufferers can speak on their struggles with those who understand firsthand, to an accountability system, AA is often enough to lead an alcoholic towards a better, healthier, sober life. When it comes to rehab, normally a patient will be paired with a support group, and visiting this group is integrated into their aftercare plan.

Question 6

Other

Accepted Answer

Dual Diagnosis: Dual Diagnosis, also referred to as co-occurring disorders, is when an individual experiences a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder concurrently. If a mental disorder is present in conjunction with substance abuse, they must address each issue separately in order to establish an appropriate course of treatment in a dual diagnosis rehab.
