TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Before beginning treatment, clients participate in an initial assessment to help clinicians develop an individualized treatment plan. To treat its residents, Clarity Way combines evidence-based treatment approaches, self-help fellowships (both 12-Step and alternatives), and a range of holistic and experiential treatment approaches.
As indicated, the facility provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT), such as Vivitrol and Suboxone, to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Clarity Way offers comprehensive 30-,60-, and 90-day programs, as well as an abbreviated 14-day residential program. The length of the residential program may be determined by the unique needs of the client.
Utilizes evidence-back therapeutic modalities, such as motivational interviewing (MI) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Clarity Way facilitates regular individual counseling sessions to identify the link between irrational thinking and destructive behavior. Couples and family counseling sessions may also be encouraged, and loves ones are invited to attend educational Family Days on the third Saturday each month.
In addition to counseling, clients participate in either a 12-Step program or an alternative recovery model, such as SMART Recovery and Stages of Change model. Participation in these treatment approaches may be incorporated into core programming.
Dually diagnosed clients may meet with a consulting psychiatrist for ongoing psychiatric evaluations and medication management. Along with traditional treatment approaches, Clarity Way incorporates a range of alternative and holistic treatments, including art and music therapy, fitness classes, yoga and Pilates, mindful meditation, and animal-assisted treatment. In addition, the facility offers a number of ancillary treatments for an additional fee. These services include chiropractic and physical therapy for pain management, hypnotherapy, massage therapy, and acupuncture.
Before a client completes residential treatment, clinicians develop customized aftercare plans, which may include locating outpatient-based programs, sober living arrangements, and other community-based resources.
