ABOUT RUTLAND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
Rutland Mental Health Services, formerly Evergreen Substance Abuse Services, is a component of the larger Community Care Network of services in the Rutland, Vt. area and offers substance abuse services through intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment. These services are available to individuals of any gender, age, or sexual orientation, with specialized tracks for children and elder clients. Please note that detox services are not provided by this facility.
TREATMENT AND ASSESSMENT
Upon admission, clients undergo a comprehensive assessment and evaluation to determine their appropriate treatment plan. The program consists of 20 sessions, each lasting three hours, conducted over a period of five weeks. Clients are required to attend the program four days per week, either during the day or evening, to accommodate their daily routines. As clients progress through the program, they receive regular updates and feedback on their individualized treatment plans.
During the five-week program, clients receive instruction in the necessary tools and skills to develop a lifestyle of recovery. Group sessions focus on developing these tools for recovery in daily life. Family sessions are also incorporated into the therapy plan to educate and support the client’s family. Additionally, clients participate in discussions on relapse prevention and receive information on aftercare support for continuing care after completing the program. Aftercare groups may address gender-specific issues, co-occurring mental health disorders, and maintenance of recovery.
In addition to the core program, the facility offers several community-based services for substance abuse. The “Rocking Horse Circle of Support” group provides education and support to women of all ages, including pregnant women and those who are currently using substances or whose lives have been affected by a loved one’s substance abuse. “Project CRASH” is an educational program for individuals whose driving privileges have been suspended due to substance-related violations. The facility also collaborates with Rutland District Court, the State’s Attorney’s Office, and the Public Defender’s Office to offer treatment court as an alternative to legal proceedings for individuals in trouble with the law due to substance abuse. Finally, the re-entry program provides support services for individuals reintegrating into the community following incarceration for substance-related crimes.
