Counseling and Support

Once it has been established that Horizons of Hope program is the appropriate substance abuse treatment program for you or a loved one, a schedule of the various services and counseling sessions will be outlined in detail.

• Intensive Outpatient Substance Abuse Groups
   
• Multi Family Group Sessions
   
• Lifestyles

  Recovery is more than stopping drug or alcohol use. Abstaining is important, but it's just the beginning. True recovery also involves examining old choices in order to make new and healthier choices.

• Drug and Alcohol Education

  Education about the nature of alcohol and other mood altering drugs helps clients approach recovery with a mindset that's more conducive to their success. People often try to deal with their problem by controlling their drug or alcohol use, which does not work. Learning the facts about how substances work and how they interact with the body helps clients understand and better accept approaches that have proven effective. 

• Relapse Prevention/ Aftercare Groups

  The risk of relapsing back to drug or alcohol use is ever-present for anyone in recovery. It often happens after physical, emotional, social or environmental triggers have set someone up for a "slip." Triggering factors are discovered and counter measures developed to help reduce or remove their power over the recovering client.

• Individual Counseling

  One-on-one counseling is an opportunity for the counselor to get to know the client in order to target distinctly individual needs in treatment. Clients often look forward to having uninterrupted time with their counselor to discuss personal issues and changes needed for successful recovery.

• Spiritual Counseling

  Staff members at Horizons of Hope believe that human beings, in addition to being biological, psychological, and social beings, are alsospiritual beings. While respecting our clients' personal beliefs, we encourage them to take a deeper look at issues in their life, where their life seems to be going and to examine meaning and purpose in a life free of alcohol and drugs.
