What is a typical day in treatment like?
Wellness Resource Center provides intensive treatment for dually-diagnosed clients in a highly structured environment. Our patients follow a daily schedule of intensive therapy and activities including life skills development, 12-step meetings, and drug-free recreational activities. Formal treatment / therapy occurs five days a week, beginning at 9:00 a.m. and usually ends around 5:00 p.m. In the evenings and weekends clients practice activities of daily living, socialization, outings, gym membership, and NA / AA support groups, all overseen by program staff.
To ensure the safety of our staff and clients during the coronavirus pandemic, we have implemented several enhanced safety protocols, including limiting access to our on-site gym. Until further notice, clients will be able to use our gym a maximum of two days per week. If you have any questions about this or any other safety measures at Wellness Resource Center, please feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience.
Do you provide detox services?
Wellness Resource Center is a private treatment program and does not offer detoxification services. We have non-affiliated partnerships with several local detox facilities depending on insurance /financial needs. Many insurance policies cover medical detoxification.
The Admissions Coordinator will determine if there is a need for medical detoxification prior to treatment and will assist in coordinating a referral and placement. Transportation will be arranged as well as a direct transfer to Wellness Resource Center upon completion. Most detox facilities admit 24/7.
How long will I need to be in treatment?
We offer a variable length of stay depending on each patient’s particular needs and the appropriate level of care. Treatment is highly individualized and determining the ideal length of stay in treatment depends upon a number of individual factors – including one’s level of motivation, previous time in treatment, the nature and severity of the issues you are dealing with, and the presence of co-occurring disorders.
At Wellness Resource Center, our treatment professionals will be happy to work with you to develop the best plan to meet your specific needs.
Do you have a psychiatrist on staff?
Wellness Resource Center has a Medical Director / Psychiatrist on staff who specializes in treating dually-diagnosed clients. Each client receives an initial psychiatric evaluation and regular meetings with the psychiatrist as needed for ongoing evaluation, mood stabilization, and medication management as needed.
Will I be required (or permitted) to take medication during treatment?
Psychoactive medications that have potential for abuse are contraindicated for use with dual-diagnosis clients. Medications such as benzodiazepines, methadone, Suboxone, and other mind/mood-altering substances are prohibited. Psychotropic medications, which have no addictive properties, may be prescribed on an as needed basis.
We do not mandate medication, although it may be recommended. Clients are asked to bring their prescription medication(s) in their original prescription bottle, subject to oversight by the medical director.
Where are medications kept and how are they dispensed?
Clients self-administer their prescription medication on a daily basis. Supervision and locked storage is provided for those who struggle with non-compliance.
