WHAT IS A TELEHEALTH INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT PROGRAM?
The term “telehealth” covers a variety of services that don’t require the patient to be in a room with the therapist or counselor. This fairly new treatment method opens the door for more people to get help than ever before. You are no longer limited to getting help from people in the community. Instead, anyone with a phone or an Internet connection can get treatment. We offer a range of different methods to attend a telehealth intensive outpatient treatment program, including:
This is the original telehealth method. This program allows a person to call a treatment center for the help they need. It is an effective way of continuing your addiction treatment.
We use a secure channel to video chat with our patients and deliver treatments from our virtual intensive outpatient program. This method allows you to use your computer to speak to an addiction specialist, even if you are located out of state.
This treatment method is one that many people choose because they find it the most comfortable. You don’t have to stop what you’re doing to speak to someone. Additionally, it is easier to do if you’re in a public place.
Many mobile apps are designed specifically to allow people like you to get in touch with a treatment specialist in a matter of minutes. This method may be useful in helping people who need alcohol addiction rehab.
This telehealth option is based on the newest technology. It builds on a computer-generated world that you can simulate around real-life scenarios. We can adapt this technology to virtually any situation, including addiction treatment.
VIRTUAL THERAPY VIA IOP
Addiction affects people of every age, gender, race, economic class, and sexuality. Sadly, many people don’t get the help they need for various reasons. However, now, the help each person needs is more accessible than ever before. Our telehealth intensive outpatient treatment program breaks down the barriers, which increases the number of people it can help. Help is within reach for anyone who needs it.
At Crestview Recovery, we are committed to helping you recover from your addiction no matter where you are located. The number of overdose deaths increases every year, but a virtual therapy program can help. With a telehealth treatment program, the hurdles surrounding addiction treatment shrink. You can get the help you need without leaving your home.
HOW DO TELEHEALTH PROGRAMS WORK?
Telehealth programs for addiction treatment work by providing individuals with access to therapy and support remotely, using telecommunications technology. Here’s what someone can generally expect from telehealth programs for addiction:
The process often begins with an initial assessment, conducted through video calls or phone consultations. This helps professionals understand the individual’s specific needs and tailor the treatment plan accordingly.
Individual therapy for addiction is immensely important for those in recovery. Telehealth offers one-on-one therapy sessions with a licensed counselor or therapist. These sessions can address underlying issues contributing to addiction and provide coping strategies.
Virtual addiction group therapy sessions connect individuals with peers facing similar challenges. This fosters a supportive community and provides a sense of shared experience.
For individuals undergoing medication-assisted treatment, telehealth allows for medication management through virtual appointments with healthcare providers.
Some telehealth programs incorporate holistic approaches, such as mindfulness exercises and wellness practices, promoting overall well-being.
RECOGNIZING AND TREATING ADDICTION
Recognizing drug and alcohol abuse is paramount in facilitating timely intervention and support. Various signs and symptoms can indicate a person’s struggle with substance use.
Behavioral changes, such as sudden mood swings, increased secrecy, and social withdrawal
Declining academic or work performance
Neglecting personal hygiene
Changes in sleep patterns
Physical signs such as weight gain or loss, unexplained injuries
Frequent financial troubles
Strained relationships
Persistent preoccupation with obtaining and using substances
Being familiar with these signs allows for proactive measures, such as seeking professional drug and alcohol addiction treatment and initiating the path toward recovery and well-being.
COMPLEX MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION ISSUES
Patients with more complex substance use disorders and complex mental health concerns may require more time to address the following:
Relapse prevention
Sober living resources
Individual issues and concerns
Dual diagnosis concerns
Changing thinking and behavior
Communication and relationship-building
Our intensive outpatient, sober living, or telehealth program can offer an ideal option as a follow-up to a residential or detox program. This level of outpatient rehab can be especially effective for patients who have a stable, sober-friendly living situation as well as for those who are experiencing first-time alcohol or drug addiction treatment. As patients meet clinical milestones, they can transition to a lower level of care.
