Addiction Treatment & Recovery Program

Program Mission:

HBI helps clients to learn about addiction; its hold on emotions, thinking, spirituality, physical well-being; its effects on family, the community, career, self-esteem, personality, etc.; and work through their issues. In addition, HBI recognizes that, addiction may be a fragment of a more complex co-occurring disorder.

Initial Process:

Prior to attending HBI’s Addiction Treatment and Recovery Program, some patients may require medical clearance or detoxification under medical supervision in a hospital setting. If a patient meets medical necessity criteria for inpatient admission, that patient is referred to a qualified detoxification facility. The patient will then be reassessed to ensure that the patient can safely participate in a lower level of care.

Intensive Treatment Phase:

During the Intensive phase of treatment, clients are scheduled to attend the following meetings for a minimum length of 24 sessions during the course of the program:

• The Initial Assessment/Interview
• An Orientation and Familiarization Session
• 24 Lecture/group sessions (3x/week for 8 weeks)
• Counseling sessions for the “concerned persons” and client. The frequency and number of sessions depend on the clinical necessity of the client.
• Medication Evaluation and Management
• An Exit Interview to map out a post-treatment plan

Depending on the client’s clinical necessity, the frequency and length of treatment sessions are based on the ASAM criteria for the Intensive Outpatient Services:

• Adults = 9 or more hours of combined services per week
• Adolescents = 6 or more hours of combined services per week

Aftercare

Following the Intensive Phase, Human Behavior Institute offers “graduates” a two-year AfterCare program. It consists of a support group that meets once per week for 2 years. A counselor oversees each AfterCare session.
