Intensive Outpatient Program for Substance-Related Disorders
256.683.0512

The Intensive Outpatient Program for Substance-Related Disorders at Crestwood is dedicated to providing quality care to individuals who need help overcoming substance-related disorders.  

When people contact our facility for help we do not assume that a diagnosis of alcoholism or other addiction exists. Instead we provide expert assessments and evaluation services that provide individuals with the answers needed to make informed decisions about your own, or a loved one’s care.

Our caring dedicated team includes physicians who are board certified in addiction medicine, licensed professional counselors and registered nurses. We collaborate with clients to take the first step in a new direction and pursue recovery. Our team works together to provide exceptional care to our clients.

The Crestwood Intensive Outpatient  Program allows patients with substance-related disorders to begin recovery in a controlled environment while giving them the freedom to work and live almost as they normally would.  Our highly qualified team will guide patients through the program on an outpatient basis with as little disruption to their lives as possible.

The Professionals of our Intensive Outpatient Program recognize that recovery happens in an honest, dignified and respectful setting. Our facility environment provides a place where the patient can relate to others and not feel “institutionalized” while focusing on learning about their addiction.

 
 Outpatient Detoxification

Crestwood's Outpatient Detoxification Program allows patients with chemical dependency problems to recover quickly in a controlled environment while giving them the freedom to live and work almost as they normally would.

Crestwood's highly qualified team will guide patients through the program on an outpatient basis. The program allows patients to keep up their daily routine while also eliminating many withdrawal symptoms associated with chemical dependency.

Our program utilizes recent breakthroughs in the medical treatment of dependency, using the latest medications combined with one-on-one “detox coaching”.

Patients arrive for assessment by a master’s level therapist and a Board Certified Doctor. Patients are then diagnosed and treated according to their specific needs taking into account bio-psycho-social factors in addition to the physiological symptoms that occur during detox. During the first week, patients attend the program daily, after the first week they only need to come once a week for monitoring and education. Patients return home, to work or to their studies for the duration of treatment. The full course of treatment generally lasts 42 days (six weeks).

Adult Inpatient Program

In Crestwood's Inpatient Program, patients receive additional support and guidance in a 24-hour care environment. The program features:

• Short term crisis stabilization
• Individual, Group and Family Counseling and Education
• Medical Screening/Physical Examination
• Individualized treatment plan for each patient
• Psychiatric and Chemical Dependency diagnosis

Adult Partial Hospital Program

As an alternative to inpatient care, Crestwood Medical Center offers a daily Partial Hospital Program. This program meets Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The partial hospital program offers stabilization and symptom reduction in a safe and structured environment.  Adults continue to reside with their families.

The Partial Hospital Program may serve as a gradual transition from inpatient care to outpatient recovery, or may be used in lieu of inpatient treatment.

Alcohol and Drug Treatment

Crestwood Medical Center provides comprehensive chemical dependency treatment services. Our staff, including therapists and certified addiction-trained psychiatrists, is fully equipped to treat individuals suffering from both psychological and addictive problems.

Employee Assistance Program

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a program designed to address an Employer's need to provide broad-spectrum benefits to their employees, including provisions to address their psychological and emotional needs.

Crestwood Counseling Service's EAP program can be custom designed from an extensive list of available services to meet the needs of various employers while remaining affordable.

The EAP recognizes that when an employer offers understanding and help to a troubled employee, the employee can often be retained at their job, preserving their talents, experience, and all of the resources that the employer has invested in the employee. This will often include provisions to assess for psychological/ emotional disturbance, risk factors, and substance abuse/addiction.

The EAP will encompass, as a minimum, an assessment and referral service. The employer will be able to have employees seen by specified Crestwood counselors with two days notice, or screened for emergencies on a 24 hours, 7 days per week basis.

Other EAP services include setting a predetermined number of counseling sessions to address short-term issues involving work or family. If additional therapy, psychological testing, or medication management is required, a referral will be made by the Crestwood EAP to providers within the employee’s insurance carrier.

Crestwood’s Behavioral Health team also offers Supervisor/Employer Training which is often required as part of a government contract or useful in addressing specific problems identified by an employer.

Outpatient Counseling Services

The outpatient counseling program at Crestwood Medical Center expands the continuum of care provided by the behavioral health services. The counseling programs include the following:

• Individual Therapy (adult and adolescent) - assists with problems and life's difficulties in a one-on-one therapy setting.
