Treatment At Hillcrest Adolescent Treatment Center

Conditions Treated

Mental health treatment:

Mental health treatment involves a range of therapeutic approaches, provided by licensed professionals, to address mental health challenges. It includes psychotherapy, medication, and holistic practices to help individuals manage conditions, improve coping skills, and enhance overall well-being. The goal is to empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.

Alcoholism:

Alcohol addiction is a health problem where drinking takes control over a person's life. It affects how their brain thinks and acts, leading to strong desires to drink, bad feelings, sudden actions, and discomfort when not drinking. To help someone with this problem, there are treatments like detox, counseling, group support, and learning coping methods. While treatment can't completely cure the urge to drink, it helps people regain control of their lives and feel better overall.

Substance use treatment:

Substance use rehabilitation is a structured program aimed at assisting individuals in overcoming their dependencies on drugs or alcohol. Through a combination of medical detoxification, counseling, and various therapeutic approaches, these programs strive to address the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. The goal is to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and support necessary to attain lasting sobriety, while also working to identify and address the underlying issues contributing to substance misuse. By fostering a supportive environment, substance use rehabilitation centers provide a pathway towards a healthier, substance-free life.

Co-occurring Disorders:

Dual-diagnosis rehabilitation centers specialize in the treatment of individuals who suffer from a co-occurring mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. This complex interplay between addiction and mental health can make recovery more challenging, as each condition may exacerbate the symptoms of the other. Dual-diagnosis rehabilitation centers offer an integrated approach that addresses both issues simultaneously and often includes a comprehensive assessment for an Integrated Treatment Approach through Holistic Therapies, including family therapy and aftercare treatment.

Levels Of Care

Luxury Treatment:

Luxury rehab centers provide a premium and comfortable setting for individuals seeking addiction recovery and mental health treatment. Offering personalized care, serene surroundings, and amenities like spa treatments and gourmet dining, they blend expert support with a luxurious experience for holistic healing.

Detoxification:

Detoxification, often just called "detox", is like giving the body a deep clean from harmful substances like drugs or alcohol. When someone decides to stop using these substances, their body might react with tough symptoms. Detox helps to handle these reactions safely. Think of it as helping the body reset after too much exposure to harmful stuff.

Aftercare:

Finishing a drug or alcohol rehab program is not the conclusion of substance abuse treatment but rather a pivotal step toward long-term recovery. Aftercare encompasses devising a sustainable recovery plan coupled with enduring support. It may include sober living environments such as halfway houses, career counseling, and connecting patients with community support programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA). This holistic approach ensures a smooth transition into a substance-free life while bolstering resilience against relapse.

Hospital inpatient treatment:

Inpatient treatment includes an all-encompassing residential therapeutic regimen, during which patients reside on-site for a period usually spanning 30 to 90 days. Within this immersive setting, individuals receive structured assistance, prioritizing their safety and fostering a dedication to recovery. The treatment modalities offered may include individual and group counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy, holistic interventions, family therapy sessions, as well as experiential therapies. The overarching objective is to comprehensively address the physical, emotional, and psychological dimensions of addiction or mental health disorders, establishing a resilient groundwork for long-term healing.

Long-term residential:

Extended treatment programs frequently encompass residential components, wherein patients reside within a facility throughout their treatment, tailoring the duration to their specific requirements. These programs maintain staff presence around the clock, ensuring continuous support for every patient. The duration of treatment may vary, spanning from 90-day rehabilitation stays to 6-month rehabilitation stays, 1-year rehabilitation programs, or, when necessary, even 2-year treatment residences.

Hospital inpatient/24-hour hospital inpatient:

The 24-Hour Hospital Inpatient for Addiction Treatment program provides continuous medical care and support for those battling substance use and addiction. Located within a hospital setting, this focused inpatient program caters to both immediate and ongoing patient needs, guaranteeing their safety, stability, and thorough rehabilitation.

Treatment Modalities

Group counseling:

Group Counseling is a therapeutic approach where individuals come together under the guidance of a trained counselor to share experiences, provide mutual support, and gain insights. It fosters a sense of community, promotes understanding through diverse perspectives, and offers personal growth and problem-solving strategies.

Trauma-related counseling:

Trauma-related counseling is a specialized form of therapeutic intervention aimed at assisting individuals who have experienced distressing, life-altering events. This approach focuses on helping clients process their traumatic experiences, develop coping mechanisms, and rebuild a sense of safety and trust. Counselors trained in trauma therapy use evidence-based techniques to support healing and resilience, ensuring survivors can move forward and lead fulfilling lives despite their past adversities.

Family counseling:

Family counseling is a therapeutic approach that addresses the dynamics, interactions, and challenges within a family unit. Through guided discussions and interventions, a trained counselor helps family members understand one another, resolve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen their bonds. This form of therapy can be beneficial for families facing transitions, stressors, or behavioral issues, promoting understanding and facilitating positive change in the familial environment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, and actions. It promotes healthy reactions to thoughts and emotions, steering individuals away from harmful responses such as substance abuse. Proven effective for various addiction recoveries, CBT enhances an individual's self-awareness and self-control. Through CBT, individuals learn to better gauge their emotional well-being, communicate more effectively, and handle stress without resorting to drugs or alcohol.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach designed primarily to treat trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It involves the patient recalling traumatic events while undergoing bilateral sensory input, typically guided eye movements. EMDR aims to facilitate processing distressing memories, reducing their long-term impact, and helping individuals develop more adaptive coping mechanisms.

Individual psychotherapy:

Individual therapy, often referred to as psychotherapy or counseling, is a one-on-one therapeutic interaction between a trained therapist and a client. It provides a confidential space for individuals to explore their feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, working through challenging memories, experiences, or emotions. The therapist facilitates self-awareness, promotes personal growth and insight, and offers coping strategies to manage specific issues like stress, anxiety, depression, and other life challenges. The ultimate goal is to improve the individual's mental well-being and enhance their overall quality of life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approach primarily to treat individuals with borderline personality disorder. It combines standard cognitive-behavioral techniques with distress tolerance, acceptance, and mindfulness concepts. DBT emphasizes the balance between accepting and changing behaviors, aiming to help patients build life skills, regulate emotions, and improve interpersonal relationships. It has since been adapted for and shown effectiveness in treating a variety of other mental health conditions.

Creative Arts Therapy:

Creative Arts Therapy is a therapeutic approach that integrates various forms of artistic expression—including visual arts, music, dance, drama, and poetry—to promote emotional, mental, and physical well-being. By engaging in the creative process, individuals are given an outlet to communicate, process, and resolve complex emotions, traumas, and challenges in a non-verbal and transformative manner. Therapists in this field are trained professionals who facilitate healing and personal growth through the power of artistic mediums.

Equine Therapy:

Equine Therapy, also known as Horse Therapy or Equine-Assisted Therapy, encompasses various treatments involving activities with horses to promote physical, emotional, and mental growth in individuals with multiple conditions. By interacting with horses, individuals can develop a range of skills, such as self-awareness, self-efficacy, and emotional regulation, along with improving communication and socialization skills. This therapeutic approach is utilized to assist individuals facing mental health issues, developmental disorders, or physical disabilities under the guidance of a professional therapist and an equine specialist.

Life Skills:

Life skills refer to a vital component of rehabilitation that focuses on equipping individuals with the essential abilities and strategies necessary to lead a fulfilling and substance-free life. These skills encompass a wide range of practical tools, such as effective communication, problem-solving, stress management, time management, and financial literacy. By integrating life skills training into addiction treatment programs, individuals gain the confidence and competence needed to overcome addiction and thrive in their personal and social lives, promoting long-term recovery and well-being.

12-step facilitation:

Recovery frameworks grounded in 12-step programs prioritize peer mentoring and underline personal development as essential for maintaining sobriety. Those in recovery are encouraged to attend 12-step meetings, which guarantee anonymity frequently, have no cost, and are accessible every day. These 12 steps draw from spiritual tenets, assisting participants in confronting the underlying reasons for their addiction, acknowledging their decisions, and embracing the aspects outside their control. Chosen by the participants themselves, sponsors offer individualized guidance and support.

Holistic Treatment:

A holistic approach encompasses a "whole person" perspective in treatment, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mental, physical, and spiritual health. At its core, holistic therapy believes in the seamless integration of an individual's body, mind, emotions, and spirit. In the context of addiction recovery, this approach ensures that the entire person is catered to, rather than isolating a specific symptom or behavior. Holistic treatments aim to enhance the individual's complete well-being instead of merely addressing isolated issues.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy:

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a medically-approved approach to help individuals quit smoking. It involves providing the body with controlled, lower doses of nicotine, typically through patches, gums, lozenges, inhalers, or sprays, to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings. By gradually reducing nicotine intake, NRT aims to wean users off their dependence, making it easier to quit smoking and improving overall health outcomes.

Contingency management/motivational incentives:

Contingency management and motivational incentives are evidence-based treatment modalities used in addiction and behavioral health programs. Contingency management involves the use of rewards to reinforce positive behaviors and change negative behaviors, while motivational incentives provide incentives to engage in treatment and sustain recovery. Both approaches are designed to increase motivation and engagement in treatment and have been shown to be effective in promoting positive outcomes.

Animal Therapy:

Animal Therapy is an emerging field in behavioral health where animals are incorporated into the therapeutic process. This type of therapy can significantly benefit individuals facing mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and social phobias. Interaction with animals can provide comfort, reduce feelings of isolation, and alleviate stress. Therapists may employ a variety of animals to create a nurturing and supportive environment, promoting emotional and social growth. The non-judgmental nature of animals and the structured therapeutic setting offer individuals a unique avenue to explore and address their emotional and behavioral concerns.

Nutrition Therapy:

Nutrition Therapy offers a holistic approach to recovery by addressing the body's dietary needs. Tailored to each individual, this therapy ensures optimal nutrient intake to support healing, boost immunity, and promote overall well-being, complementing other rehabilitation efforts for a comprehensive recovery journey.

Fitness Therapy:

"Fitness Therapy" refers to the integration of exercise and movement techniques with therapeutic principles to promote mental and physical well-being. It emphasizes the connection between physical activity and emotional health, harnessing the healing powers of exercise to aid in rehabilitation, manage chronic conditions, reduce stress, and improve overall quality of life. Through personalized regimens and mindful practices, Fitness Therapy seeks to holistically empower individuals to achieve their health and wellness goals.
