Clinical Approach
ASSESSMENT
Each client is assessed ahead of admission to determine if Recover Integrity is a good fit. Clients are assessed again upon intake, with our psychiatrist at the time of their evaluation and at other points during treatment as advised by their clinical team.
Pre-Screening
Pre-Screening
Pre-screening serves as the initial evaluation to determine if Recover Integrity is the right fit for a potential client, ensuring they meet the basic criteria for admission.
Screening
Screening
Following pre-screening, a comprehensive assessment is conducted to evaluate psychological, relational, psychiatric, and substance use history, providing a holistic understanding of the individual to develop an initial treatment plan tailored to their needs.
Intake
Intake
The intake process includes a comprehensive biopsychosocial evaluation and serves as the client’s first interaction with Recover Integrity, ensuring they feel acclimated, informed, and safe in their new environment.
Treatment Planning
Treatment Planning
Treatment planning is a collaborative process between the client and their care team to establish goals across psychological, relational, and psychiatric domains, creating a comprehensive plan with clear, agreed-upon measures of progress.
Individual & Family Work
We understand that addiction and mental health disorders often stem from unresolved issues related to early attachment and trauma. Therefore, clients engage in twice-weekly individual therapy sessions, where they work on addressing these core issues. Family therapy, coaching, and adjunctive therapies are also available and integrated into the treatment plan as needed. By fostering supportive relationships and addressing the relational aspects of addiction, we help clients rebuild the foundations necessary for healthy, fulfilling lives.
Community
We honor each individual’s dignity and deeply respect their privacy, understanding that healing is a personal journey. Yet, we also recognize the profound value of community, where connection and shared experiences become a vital part of growth. Balancing individual care with the strength of community creates an artful tension that helps clients address relational and attachment issues, learning from others in a safe, supportive space. Through this approach, clients gain the tools to engage interdependently, preparing to step into the world with resilience and authentic connections.
Outside Support
Authentic engagement in outside support is essential for building a lasting, empowered identity and serves as a crucial foundation during treatment, as it becomes the primary support after treatment. At Recover Integrity, we help clients explore and connect with diverse recovery communities, including Refuge Recovery, 12-Step, NAMI, and SMART Recovery, guiding them to find the path that aligns with their history and sense of safety. By engaging meaningfully with these groups, clients build a strong base of freedom and responsibility, cultivating the support they need for a resilient and connected recovery journey.
The 12 Steps
A 12 step recovery program is an integral part of our treatment model. With the recognition that the 12 steps must be chosen, integrated and understood, we encourage our clients to engage in this meaningful process. Our emphasis on working through the steps, comes from the knowledge that in order to sustain recovery, one must develop a Recovering Identity. This occurs most effectively in a group setting with like-minded people, who are also pursuing recovery.
Framework
The 12 steps provide a great framework in which to tap into one’s transformative potential and promotes recovery as a way of life. It is important to recognize that sobriety only begins in treatment, it doesn’t end there.
Support
The 12 step recovery programs offer long term support within a huge global network which benefits from the wisdom of having worked with more recovering people than all other systems combined.
Alternatives
We also offer a variety of alternative structured support systems including: Smart Recovery, and Against the Stream Buddhist Meditation Society for clients who have legitimate resistance to engaging in a 12 step recovery program.
