Residential Mental Health and Addiction Treatment for Adults

Following a medical model throughout this level of care, patients can expect to stay an average of 30 to 45 days and will have regular contact with a psychiatrist or physician in addition to ongoing work with dedicated therapists and counselors.

Our individualized residential addiction treatment plans include::

• Medical management, including comprehensive medical evaluation, monitoring and lab testing
• More than 14 hours a week of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and associated therapies, including behavioral activation (BA) and motivational enhancement therapy (MET), offered by masters-prepared therapists trained through the Rogers CBT Academy
• 12-step recovery principles
• Medication-assisted treatment, following FDA-approved guidelines

Individual, group and family therapy are all important within a care plan. Network therapy adds an additional level of support through family and peer connections to help with skills and knowledge upon leaving residential care. Through experiential therapy, patients gain skills that build trust, independence and self-worth through activities such as art, music or movement. Additionally, we offer a family program to help friends and family members of patients best support themselves and their loved one during treatment and beyond.

Additional therapeutic support

Other components of therapy include:

• Nutrition and health education
• Personal wellness
• Spiritual care
• Daily living skills
• Community outings and therapeutic passes

Networking support

We provide patients with access to community-based support groups, including Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Heroin Anonymous. Alumni members of the Herrington McBride Alumni Association lead weekly sessions, share their personal recovery stories and host a quarterly celebration. Alumni also lead 12-Step meetings.

We know residential care for addiction may be intimidating but it can help to know what to expect before treatment begins. Here is what a typical day looks like.

In addition to regular individual therapy sessions with an attending physician, primary therapist, and other team members, residential care specialists are available 24 hours per day. They will provide assistance and one-to-one support, motivational enhancement, daily goals, problem solving, feelings identification, and treatment assignments.

Our multidisciplinary team is led by a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in addiction. Upon admission, patients will meet members of the treatment team for a comprehensive evaluation to assess the history and severity of their addiction and related psychosocial factors. This information helps us build individualized care plans specific to each patient.

• Board-certified family physician
• Board-certified psychiatrist
• Licensed clinical psychologist
• Registered nurses
• Certified clinical supervisor
• Master’s level certified substance abuse counselors
• Master’s level marriage and family therapist
• Behavioral specialists
