The Immanuel House AOD Program works on the premise that it is possible to deal with the problem of drugs and alcohol in your life, maintaining abstinence as the primary goal of treatment. By providing a variety of Levels of Care, the Immanuel House AOD Program can provide individualized treatment and provides minimal disruption of work and family life. Residential treatment is available for residents requiring significant structure and support. It provides a means of disrupting the Addiction Cycle by removing the resident from the using atmosphere. Outpatient treatment is available for participants who have significant problems because of their addiction but do not require 24-hour supervision. While outpatient treatment is not appropriate for everyone, many people can and have benefitted from this approach. Indeed, it is easier to focus on recovery when you are not faced with the daily grind of your life.
The Immanuel House AOD Program focuses on aiding our participants to develop insight into the role that drugs and alcohol have played in their lives. Participants focus on recovery while dealing with the usual problems which arise in their day. Usually, chemicals have taken a significant toll on family relations, employment, and health. Some of our residents have had problems with the law, lost jobs, or failed in school. The Immanuel House AOD Program helps with learning to live without drugs or alcohol and improves the quality of life of our residents.
Immanuel House AOD Program works with participants by helping to examine the effects of drug and alcohol abuse on the participant’s life. The result desired is for the participant to realize how their unwillingness to acknowledge a problem with drugs and alcohol has resulted in a personal and social decline into a state of illness. At Immanuel House, we believe that denial is the primary symptom of the disease of drug and alcohol dependency. It is this primary symptom that we help participants overcome before recovery can occur. Studies have shown that different levels of care and treatment approaches are the mark of the most successful programs. Some residents require intensive, long-term residential treatment, while others can benefit from basic education.
The staff works closely with several other treatment centers which provide different levels of care. If a resident requires a more intensive level of care, they will be referred to the facility. The individual’s treatment needs will influence this referral. The referral occurs after an initial assessment, which includes a no-cost review by the treatment staff.
Our goal of restoration is clear in our motto: “Transforming Lives From the Hurts of Humanity.“
