Drug Rehab in Northern Connecticut Expands Treatment Options and Services

    CANAAN, CT, October 11, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Mountainside Treatment Center has recently expanded its addiction treatment services in its work of providing comprehensive drug and alcohol rehabilitation. In addition to Mountainside's nationally recognized treatment modalities, here is a brief listing of expanded services:

Mountainside's long term treatment component offers those residents who require extended stays in treatment a specialized program to work on the fundamental constructive issues that ensure long-term sobriety. Many individuals have struggled to find success in remaining free from substance abuse and many of these benefit by a flexible treatment approach that works over time. The counselor carefully constructs a flexible treatment plan with the client that can and will change as the individual's needs and goals change. This component is focused on constructive behaviors, healthy choices, time management and long term sobriety to ensure functioning in social, family and vocational or educational contexts.

The Family Wellness Program at Mountainside was designed to work concurrently with the client's addiction treatment. Having a family member in treatment for alcohol or drug addiction can be difficult for all who are involved and can often cloud the ability to make the right decision when it comes to helping that family member while they are in treatment or after they leave treatment.

Mountainside's Continuing Care Program provides the necessary guidance, support and therapeutic follow up to enable each client to effectively utilize the tools and various support systems that they take with them after they have completed inpatient treatment. This expertise and follow up helps to ensure that each client is afforded the best opportunity for a lasting recovery.

Professional Intervention is an invitation - not a confrontation - to accept help. Treatment works, but getting the individual to treatment is often easier said than done. It is believed that interventions have a 90-95% success rate when done under the guidance and supervision of a professional Intervention Specialist and with the help of those people close to the individual needing the intervention.

Mountainside Drug Rehab Center's focus and commitment over the years has been to the quality of its drug rehabilitation and alcoholism treatment program. Mountainside's unique drug rehab program includes Individual and Group Counseling; Therapeutic Challenge; Addressing Nicotine Addiction; 12-Step Education and Meetings; Spiritual Enhancement including Guided Meditation, Yoga, Hypnosis, a Native American Stone People's Lodge; Family Counseling; Work Therapy; Adventure-Based Counseling; Writing, Art and Music Workshops. Working with their counselors, residents are able to take advantage of a long list of treatment initiatives designed to appeal to individual tastes and preferences. One of the tenets of its individualized drug addiction rehab program is to get people fully engaged in their recoveries.

Its licensed and credentialed counselors and clinical staff include two Advanced Nurse Practitioners who are specialists in drug addiction and alcoholism treatment.
