ABOUT LIFE MANAGEMENT RESOURCES – PLANO TREATMENT FACILITY
For over 17 years, Life Management Resources (LMR) has operated three facilities northeast of Dallas, Texas, for the treatment of adults and adolescents, both men and women, with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. The Plano facility offers intensive outpatient (IOP), supportive outpatient, and aftercare programs for adults and adolescents ages 17 and up. There is also a 12-hour educational program for driving while intoxicated offenders. Detoxification services are not available at this facility.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Treatment at Life Management Resources focuses on the disease model of addiction and addresses historical and environmental factors inhibiting recovery, including past trauma. Upon intake, clients work with counselors to develop an individualized treatment plan that encourages positive growth in the client and the client’s family.
The IOP treatment programs utilizes a mixture of co-ed and gendered groups, as well as weekly individual therapy sessions. Group therapy sessions meet three times a week for the eight week program duration. Family members are encouraged to participate in their loved one’s treatment with weekly family therapy groups.
Clients needing additional treatment after the intensive outpatient program can enroll in the Supportive Outpatient Program (SOP), which includes group therapy twice a week and individual therapy twice a month. Clients develop a relapse prevention plan and participate in aftercare programming for an additional 12 months after the completion of the SOP.
Treatment programs involve the 12-steps, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing. Group therapy includes topics such as spirituality, relapse prevention, anger management, stress management, goal setting, self-esteem building, dealing with grief and resentment, and conflict resolution. In addition, clients can participate in meditation and art therapy.
