Comprehensive Addiction Treatment
Comprehensive addiction treatment is a key element leading to recovery. Historically, the evidence captured in the field of addiction has had a massive impact on the delivery of addiction treatment services— however, it usually takes a long time for any real changes to be made.
“As this literature has developed, so too has the organization and delivery of services around the world (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, with the usual lag between the generation of evidence and its application. The field of substance use treatment appears to be particularly prone to this evidence gap…” (Rush).
At Royal Life Centers, we make it our business to stay up-to-date with credible research, studies, and evidence that relates to the field of addiction. We are constantly evolving to make our addiction treatment programs as effective as possible.
What Qualities Are In An Effective Addiction Treatment Program?
Recently, an in-depth study came out with seven core principles of the most effective approach to addiction treatment. We are happy to see that our addiction treatment contains all of these core principles. In fact, this supports our approach as an effective treatment for addiction treatment.
With that being said, we are never resistant to innovation. Similarly, we place the highest regard to proven effective methodology when it comes to our treatment programs. Moreover, the results speak for themselves: we transform lives through our effective addiction treatment programs each day.
Seven core principles of the most effective approach to addiction treatment:
- A broad systems approach to address the full spectrum of issues
- Collaboration between all care providers throughout the treatment process
- A range of system supports
- Services focusing on self-determination, holistic cultural practices, choice, and partnership
- Attention to diversity and social-structural disadvantages
- Systematic screening and assessment define the best course of treatment and treatment services
- Individualized treatment planning includes evidence-informed interventions
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recognizes comprehensive addiction treatment to be the most effective form of addiction treatment also, as it offers up proven effective methods of treatment in addition to a variety of services that serve each individual guest and their specific case.
Our Broad System Approach
A broad systems approach is essentially an approach that takes into account the wider picture, or overall goal, in contrast to focusing on a single element. A broad systems approach pays attention to interactions of all different components with respect to the overall goal.
This is why at Royal Life Centers, we create an optimal recovery experience as guests collaborate with clinicians to develop a treatment plan that involves a variety of services and treatment methods that work together to create a treatment that flows into a broad system approach with commonality in reaching a goal of recovery.
We also carry out this core principle by providing intensive group therapy, which is optimal in addressing issues related to substance abuse, problems, and disorders at a community level for an impact on the whole population of guests.
Our Care Providers Collaborate Throughout Your Treatment
This speaks to the collaborative efforts among members of the clinical team. “Expected benefits from the collaboration include improved access, earlier intervention, improved transitions and continuity of care, and better outcomes, particularly for those with more complex conditions. Definitive statements of the effectiveness of integration and collaboration are difficult given the vast array of potential strategies and activities that are implemented at the service and system levels” (Rush).
At Royal Life Centers, we hold regular meetings amongst our clinical team to report on updates for each of our guests, including any concerns or ideas to optimize the treatment experience for each case. Our collaborative efforts create a whole picture for each member of the clinical team, allowing them to be up-to-date on any information, behaviors, issues, etc. to allow the best treatment for each of our guests.
Our Wide Range of Support Systems
At Royal Life Centers, we have an elaborate team of highly trained staff members and professionals in the medical and healthcare sectors, to support the full system of our addiction treatment programs. We have an in-house staff for our aftercare programs also, because even though guests are not at an inpatient level of care, we believe in providing 24/7 access to support and guidance throughout all stages of the recovery process. Our residential treatment options provide 24/7 access to both our staff members and medical professional staff. We have a range of employees in place, to provide support in all forms.
Royal Life Centers also introduces guests to 12-step programs of recovery, which we encourage guests to join and become involved. In doing so, they may meet good people in recovery to begin building a strong sober support network to have during and after treatment. We place a high priority on building a sober support network of strong people in recovery so that guests always have people to reach out to both inside and far after completing treatment. This sober support network will serve as an invaluable source of support, guidance, and positive sober experiences.
Our Holistic Services Grounded In Choice and Partnership
Royal Life Centers places a great level of importance on guests asking for the help that they need. In addition, we provide addiction treatment specifically tailored to meet each guest’s personal needs and goals. In doing so, we match each guest up with a case manager who helps them with a variety of services.
Our addiction treatment is holistic, as it focuses on healing in the mind, body, and spirit. We believe guests need to take a leading role in their recovery, as the recovery journey is distinctively their own— guided, supported, and strengthened by us. We work together with guests to create addiction treatment optimized for their own needs, goals, and circumstances.
Our Treatment Values Diversity and Equality
This is why we provide sensitivity training to all of our staff members so that they gain knowledge and understanding of all different cultures, cultural traditions, values, and customs. With respect to certain cultures, “Indigenous people have distinct strengths, cultures, and needs with respect to mental wellness, and benefit from access to a continuum of services and supports grounded in self-determination, holistic cultural practices, choice, and partnership” (Rush).
This is why our sensitivity training is of paramount importance to create the best, all-encompassing treatment approaches. In order to create an ideal social structure rooted in equality, we value each of our guests in the same capacity. We don’t play favorites or allow a hierarchy to emerge, guests are all in the same place— have all ended up in the same place, and we stress this point to show that addiction can bring us together instead of tearing us apart
Your Clinical Care is Founded On Medical Screenings and Assessments
Upon arrival at our facilities, guests participate in thorough assessments of their drug or alcohol history. Our medical evaluations collect information that pertains to their specific circumstance and symptoms of withdrawal.
In this intake process, guests are also evaluated thoroughly for any co-occurring disorders and other mental and physical health factors. Our thorough approach to assessing guests assists us in developing the optimal course of treatment for their individual treatment. For this reason, medical screening and assessments act as the framework for each guest’s treatment.
Our Individualized Treatment Plans and Evidence-based Treatment
At Royal Life Centers, we take a very collaborative and individualized approach to our addiction treatment. Guests work alongside their therapist and case manager to develop an individualized treatment plan. In doing so, their time in treatment is specifically tailored to meet their needs, goals, and circumstances. We believe that one size does not fit all, and addiction treatment most definitely should not be generalized.
Our approach is as individualized as possible for ultimate effectiveness. Every facet of our addiction treatment is customizable in some sense. This allows us to provide treatment services for each individual case and the most effective results.
Our treatment approach uses only proven-effective methods of addiction treatment. We put in place what we call “behavioral contracts” for guests who need interventions that are needed to address and support their individual growth in recovery— these “behavioral contracts” are commonly referred to as guest interventions. For example, if a female guest has extreme difficulties with male dependency, we may ask that guest to attend our women’s only 12-step meetings. These interventions or “behavioral contracts” are put in place to challenge behavioral issues and strengthen each guest’s recovery experience.
