Think back to the first time you took a sip of alcohol or you took a drug at a party. If someone were to tell you at that moment that by taking this step, you would develop the debilitating disease of addiction later on in life, would you still take that substance? In nearly every case, the answer would be no. However, that simply isn’t real life. Every day, countless people in the Portsmouth area struggle with the strains associated with addiction. The Source Treatment Center team focuses on providing clients from this area with the help and support that they need to work through the different factors that are associated with this life-threatening condition so that they can go on to live healthier and more successful lives. 

We encourage potential clients to keep an open heart and mind as they begin to work through the treatment process. It’s possible that you may hear things you’ve never heard before regarding sobriety, addiction, or recovery. You will likely gain a whole new perspective on your life and how you arrived at this particular junction.  There will be times when it will be difficult, however, when you commit yourself to sobriety, it’s important to remember that the way you were living your life was not helping you. Therefore, in order to change your life, you have to try a new way of living.

If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, call The Source today.  Our treatment specialists are available 24/7 to discuss your options and help you find the perfect solution (800) 204-0418.

Each day, we receive phone calls from potential clients and concerned family members who are scared, exhausted, and desperate for help.  These phone calls usually consist of different types of questions, especially if it’s the first time a person has sought treatment. 

At The Source, we believe that every person that reaches out to us for help deserves to get it which is why we do everything that we can to work with a person regardless of their personal or financial background. If we aren’t the right treatment center for you, we will help you find a trusted provider that is.  Something that we always remind our clients who are concerned about finances is that we accept different forms of private insurance. This can help to completely eliminate or offset the cost associated with your level of care. If you have private insurance, be sure to let us know about this coverage when you initially reach out to our intake team so that we can help you to begin to determine the terms of your coverage. 

 

 

What Do You Do During Rehab?

The main focus of your time in rehab will be to explore and address the root causes of your substance abuse. The reason behind addiction will vary which is why you can never take a one size fits all approach to treatment or recovery. There are many people that come to The Source that have experienced trauma in their childhood such as physical or psychological abuse. Unfortunately, this abuse was something that was never directly addressed and has festered as time has gone on. In order to cope with the psychological pain that they may feel, they turn to drugs or alcohol to help them through the process. 

Throughout your drug or alcohol rehab in Portsmouth, you will learn more about the disease of addiction and come to understand what may have led you to addiction in the first place. This process can be challenging for some because there are several people that come to The Source who have no idea how to identify the root cause of their addiction. However, with time, patience and dedication, you will be able to not only identify the root cause of your addiction but talk about how you have been able to work through these emotions. 

Relapse prevention will also play a critical role in every treatment plan. It’s not enough simply to establish your sobriety. It’s critical that you learn how to maintain your sobriety going forward. Regardless of whether you decide to work through a partial hospitalization program or an outpatient program, you will learn what steps you can take to identify possible red flags that may jeopardize your hard work or your sobriety. 

What Does the Average Day Look Like While in Rehab?

Every client that comes to our treatment center will have the benefit of participating in a treatment plan that is personalized to them. Even though your treatment plan will be specific and unique to you, the focus of your plan will be to get you into a healthy and sober schedule. If you decide to take advantage of our partial hospitalization program you will work through a highly structured program which means that you will wake up and go to bed every day at a certain time. You will also take part in different forms of therapy at set times throughout your day and week. Taking this approach to addiction treatment will help you to develop a better understanding of how chaotic your life may have been during your time in active addiction and how much better it can be when you have a sober focused schedule. 

An outpatient program, in comparison, will still provide you with a structured schedule but it’s one that will be more flexible. Whereas a partial hospitalization program client will need to participate in treatment every day, an outpatient client may not. Instead, he or she will come to our treatment facility around the schedule that we will help them to set. 

If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, call The Source today.  Our treatment specialists are available 24/7 to discuss your options and help you find the perfect solution (800) 204-0418.

 

Inpatient Alcohol & Drug Rehab 

For many people, it may be critical for them to change the people, places, and things around them. When you’re in an environment that isn’t conducive to recovery or sobriety, you may find that you’re set back in your journey on a regular basis. When making this decision, you always have to consider the bigger picture. Although it may seem scary to go to a place that you’re unfamiliar with, the long-term benefits of making this decision are undeniable. During the time that you’re in treatment, you will learn more about what you can do to maintain your sobriety during times that you may feel tempted. You will be able to recover and gain strength that you may have never known that you had. 

Outpatient Alcohol & Drug Rehab 

There is a common misconception when it comes to addiction recovery options. For example, whereas in the past it was thought that the only way to overcome addiction was by committing to an inpatient program. This wasn’t a well-liked concept because this type of format is something that can be incredibly restrictive and scary for some people. As a result, a person that is suffering from an addiction tends to put off receiving the help that they truly need because they don’t want to commit to this type of format. However, the concept of recovery has changed as the years have gone by which is one of the reasons why more and more people are receiving the help and the care that they need to address their addiction to drugs or alcohol. Here are just a few of the leading benefits associated with coming to The Source for a general outpatient program:  

Flexibility 

Without question, one of the greatest advantages of a general outpatient program is the flexibility that this type of program offers. Regardless of whether you have personal or professional responsibilities, you will still have time to take care of these responsibilities during your day and participate in treatment throughout your week. Keep in mind that if your personal or professional schedule changes, let our treatment team know so that they can help you to reassess your schedule and program. 

A Growing Support System 

A key focus of an outpatient program will be your growing system of support. You will come to find that you will regularly interact and communicate with other clients that have struggled with addiction and are looking for a better way of living their life. Thor actively participating in treatment, you will come to find that there are other people that are coming to The Source that you can count on and depend on for help. 

Intensive Outpatient Alcohol & Drug Rehab 

Do you feel as though you need a program that is less restrictive than a partial hospitalization program but still provides you with more structure than a general outpatient program? If so, then our intensive outpatient program will be a great fit for you. Clients that opt to work through an intensive outpatient program will need to commit a minimum of nine hours per week to therapeutic treatment. This still gives you plenty of time throughout your week to see to a part-time job or school schedule while taking steps to get healthy and sober at the same time. There are many clients that opt to work through an intensive outpatient program once they complete their partial hospitalization program so that they can transition back into a life and routine which may make them face real-life temptations. There are many other people that make the decision to begin an intensive outpatient program and then transition into a general outpatient program once they are done. 

Partial Hospitalization Alcohol & Drug Rehab 

During a partial hospitalization program, you will live in a single-family residence that is within close proximity to the beautiful Fort Lauderdale beach. There are several advantages associated with deciding to work through a partial hospitalization program. Here are some examples of the highlights: 

Around the Clock Access to Your Treatment Team 

The struggles associated with recovery don’t always happen between the typical 9 am and 5 pm day. An issue can arise at any point in the day. A partial hospitalization program gives you around-the-clock access to your treatment team which means that regardless of whether it’s 2 pm or 2 am, you have the peace of mind of knowing that you have someone that you can reach out to. 

A Sober Environment 

One of the best benefits of coming to a partial hospitalization program is that the environment that you will live in is 100% sober and safe. When you’re surrounded by addictive substances, it can be almost impossible to maintain your sobriety. When you come to a PHP, you won’t have to worry about facing this type of temptation. 

Make New Connections 

As you begin to become accustomed to the atmosphere of a partial hospitalization program, you will feel more comfortable making new connections with other clients that are working through their own treatment program. Speaking with and interacting with other clients gives you the opportunity to build your own system of support and experience firsthand the type of community that a treatment facility has to offer.  

Brain-Mapping or Neurofeedback Treatment for Addiction 

Brain-mapping or neurofeedback treatment is another example of one of the progressive forms of treatment that we offer at The Source. Before we get into the details of brain-mapping or neurofeedback treatment, it’s important to understand that this type of treatment is not meant to replace any type of talk therapy. Instead, it will give us a basis for a possible contributing factor of your addiction. 

During brain-mapping or neurofeedback therapy, we will assess your brainwave activity to determine whether any issues with your brainwave activity may be possibly contribute to your addiction. If it’s determined that this is a contributing factor, we will set you up with a series of sessions for neurofeedback treatment which will help to correct the brainwaves. The number of sessions that you need will be assessed as treatment goes on. Once again, keep in mind that unless you pair this type of treatment with a comprehensive treatment program, brain-mapping or neurofeedback treatment will not be successful. 

Benefits of Family Therapy 

There are countless consequences of addiction. Unfortunately, one of the most detrimental consequences of addiction is the negative impact that it can have on your family. Addiction is commonly known as a family disease because it can ultimately have an effect on every member of your family. When a loved one is grappling with addiction, their family may feel heartbroken and helpless as they want the person that they care about to suffer from this disease. The Source Treatment Center team is always available to speak to the loved ones or family members of a person that has an addiction to put plans together for an intervention or learn more treatment plans that we have available. We always encourage family and friends to be active participants in the treatment program of their loved ones. 

If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, call The Source today.  Our treatment specialists are available 24/7 to discuss your options and help you find the perfect solution (800) 204-0418.

Family therapy is a type of counseling that we offer at The Source as a way to help to heal relationships that may have suffered as a result of addiction. This form of therapy is only offered when the loved one that has an addiction is able to meaningfully interact with their loved ones in a way that is healthy. These therapy sessions take place in a neutral environment so that everyone can feel at ease. You may come to find that relationships that you thought were once destroyed forever are revivable which can give a person further encouragement to continue on in their recovery journey. 

One on One Therapy 

One-on-one therapy is a leading form of counseling that you will experience during your time in addiction treatment. There are many traumatic events in your life that you simply don’t feel comfortable discussing in a group environment. While it’s true that we will always encourage you to actively take part in group therapy, we understand that you need the opportunity to talk to your addiction team in a private setting. This is where the importance of one on one therapy comes into play. 

During one on one therapy, you will be able to speak at length with an addiction therapist about events in your life that may have affected your sobriety. You will also have the chance to review your treatment plan. This is essential because if you continue to work through a treatment program that isn’t helping you, you are more likely to fall back into the trap of addiction. Keep in mind that if you need to speak to a member of our team outside of your normal one-on-one therapy session, we will do everything that we can to accommodate your request as soon as possible. 

Types of Trauma Based Addiction Treatment Therapy for Residents of Portsmouth

There are many different types of trauma-based therapies that can help you to work through the issues that you have as a result of experiencing some form of trauma. At The Source, we offer treatment programs that have a combination of traditional therapy such as group therapy or individual therapy along with trauma-based therapy. We believe that taking this approach gives our clients the best opportunity to overcome their addiction once and for all and heal holistically with a reduced chance of relapse. 

In addition to trauma-based therapy, another main form of therapy that you will participate in regardless of your treatment program is group therapy. During group therapy, you will have the opportunity to interact with other clients that are working through their own treatment program. Group therapy is a key aspect of your overall recovery because it will give you the chance to communicate not only with The Source staff but also with other people that are navigating through treatment. By sharing and listening, you will likely come to find that you are not the only person that may be struggling with a certain aspect of recovery or you may find other people that have experienced similar events as you. 

Traumatic Incident Reduction Therapy 

Traumatic Incident Reduction Therapy was a form of counseling that was first developed in the 1980s by a man named Dr. Frank A. Gerbode. This form of therapy is slightly more intensive which is why it will only take place on a weekly basis and last between 60 and 90 minutes. Although it’s impossible to know exactly how many sessions of this type of therapy you will need, you can rest assured that as long as you commit to actively and meaningfully participating in this form of therapy you will see the benefit of it. 

Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) Treatment 

Rapid resolution therapy is a relatively new form of treatment and has been shown to be extremely helpful for a person that is struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder. This form of therapy is designed to help a person to overcome their addiction more quickly and typically spans anywhere between two and six sessions, however, there is always the possibility that more may be needed. 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, commonly referred to as EMDR, is known to be one of the most effective trauma-based addiction therapies because it can help you to identify the trauma that triggered your addiction which is something that some people often struggle with. During these sessions, you will work one on one with a trained addiction therapist who will help you to work through short bouts of these memories while guiding your eye movements in specific ways. Ultimately, the number of sessions that you require will be on a case-by-case basis. 

Sober Friendly Attractions Near Portsmouth 

Portsmouth is a wonderful area to live in. When you’re making plans to adjust back into a normal schedule in Portsmouth, something that we strongly recommend that you do is locate and attend 12-step meetings that are in your area. You will come to find that a 12-step meeting is identical to group therapy in many ways. During a 12-step meeting, you will share about different aspects of your treatment journey and, in turn, you will listen to the experiences of others that have been through their own recovery journey. A 12-step meeting is a wonderful way to meet new people and interact with others that are working their way through their treatment. 

If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, call The Source today.  Our treatment specialists are available 24/7 to discuss your options and help you find the perfect solution (800) 204-0418.

Another consideration that you may want to keep in mind is participating in The Source Treatment Center’s aftercare program. Our aftercare program gives you the chance to celebrate your sobriety in the sense that every month you will have the opportunity to meet with other clients that have successfully completed their own treatment program. You will be able to participate in an extended group therapy session and have access to different get-togethers and events that happen specifically for the aftercare program throughout the year. This is something that our treatment team will be able to speak with you more about once you get toward the end of your overall treatment program.
