    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.
