PHILOSPHY
The Friary provides primary services for the treatment of drug and alcohol
addictions. Throughout the treatment process, the staff of The Friary know
the pain of addiction and in a caring, professional atmosphere will help
develop the skills needed for recovery.
We Believe that alcohol and other drug dependencies are treatable illnesses.
Treatment and the recovery process give people their lives back.
We Believe that family members are deeply affected by addiction and need help
for themselves and healing for their relationships.
We Believe that the 12 Step principals provide a basic framework to guide
the recovery process.
We Believe that addiction does not occur in a vacuum and that other issues,
such as depression, anxiety, chronic pain and family relationships should be incorporated into treatment and aftercare.
SERVICES
The Friary provides individualized treatment for drug and alcohol problems. In-patient
and out-patient services are available. A confidential assessment is available
to help determine the appropriate treatment services. There is no charge
for the initial assessment. In-patient services include detoxification and
residential/rehabilitation levels of care. Day treatment and intensive outpatient
services are also available. ( Click here to view the Our Program section for descriptions
of these services ) |
TREATMENT
Treatment recommendations are based on factors such as severity
of illness and prior history of substance abuse. For some, it is medically necessary
to begin with detoxification/residential treatment. For others, beginning
with day treatment or the intensive outpatient program may be the best alternative.
Inpatient length of stay averages 23 days and Intensive Outpatient is usually
from 20 to 24 sessions over a 6 to 8 week period. Transfer from one service
component to another takes place as the person progresses through treatment.
The Friary uses well-established, research-based treatment methods that
have proven effective for treating addiction. Motivational Enhancement therapy,
Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, 12 step and community-based approaches and
Experiential therapy methods are part of the therapeutic process. Individual
psychotherapy and family therapy are an important part of the treatment experience.
Other groups include educational lectures, medical lectures, nutrition, and
activities and exercise.
