COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS

Treatment Assistance for
Non-Profit Community Institutions

If you’re involved in a non-profit program that puts you in contact with community members needing assistance with substance abuse issues, you may need help guiding them to the specialized treatment they need.

Social workers and non-profit community institutions such as church groups and other human services do incredible work in the various communities they serve. If you’re one of the amazing people who volunteers time and resources to these programs, it’s likely you’ve encountered individuals who need help in dealing with drug and alcohol abuse issues or have mental health problems.

In cases such as this, Psyclarity Health’s team of medical professionals is able to provide guidance on the next steps to take in assisting at-risk members of the community.

Identifying
Substance Abuse Disorders

One of the issues to overcome when offering advice is determining whether an individual should be seeking treatment for drug abuse, alcohol addiction, or other substance use disorders. After all, volunteers and even social workers may not have in-depth training in substance abuse treatment.

In some cases, it can help to approach family members to find out if they believe their loved one has a drinking problem or is displaying other signs of co-occurring disorders that might indicate drug and alcohol addiction. In many instances, substance abuse and mental disorders go hand-in-hand.

While outsiders will rely on obvious signs of inebriation to indicate a substance use disorder, those who are close might also be aware of other signs. These could include:

• A refusal to stop drinking or to seek alcohol counseling
• Recurring physical health issues
• A history of employment problems or inability to hold down a job
• Ongoing relationship problems with friends and loved ones
• Lack of commitment to the recovery process or to continue outpatient treatment
• Inability to prevent relapse, even after substance abuse treatment
• Unusual or secretive behavior to hide substance use
• Co-existing mental health issues such as depression, violent behavior, or other mental illnesses

If you’re uncertain if you’ve encountered a person with a drug addiction problem or an alcohol use disorder, Psyclarity Health can provide more guidance on how to identify additional signs.

Resources for
Substance Abuse

Upon confirming that a person does, indeed, suffer from a substance use disorder, you may be concerned about the next step. Of course, there are various educational resources on substance misuse and mental health disorders, and you may find these invaluable in your work.

However, alcohol abuse and drug addiction are complex challenges, often with related mental health problems. If you have the relevant qualifications, you may be able to provide some mental health counseling, but an effective recovery program will need professional medical care from a specialized treatment provider.

Psyclarity Health has assisted numerous community programs and social workers in their efforts to address substance abuse disorders in the areas they service. Our team can offer you the help you need to encourage community members to seek treatment options that are designed for their needs.

Treatment Referral
Process

As a community worker or volunteer, it’s possible that you’re uncertain of the necessary treatment referral protocols to follow when assisting a community member. Admissions for inpatient rehab can require a complex range of administrative procedures. Fortunately, Psyclarity Health’s admissions team has extensive experience in these administrative requirements and are well-positioned to provide assistance for a seamless transition into care. 

Administration Requirements

• FMLA Paperwork
• Short-Term Disability
• Medical Record Requests
• Return-to-Work Documents

As part of the process, Psyclarity Health will arrange the following:

• Initial Screening
• Assessment
• Care Coordination
• Lifelong Aftercare

Inpatient Treatment
and Recovery Services

In many cases, the best treatment options may require intensive inpatient rehab services. In these instances, Psyclarity Health professionals are able to tailor an individual treatment program by combining closely monitored administration of addiction medicine with a range of evidence-based addiction treatment modalities. Some of these include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapies
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapies
• Assertive Group Treatment
• Trauma-Informed Therapy
• Holistic Treatment Options

Outpatient
Treatment

On completion of inpatient rehab, patients will benefit from ongoing care in the form of outpatient programs. Again, these are tailored to the individual to ensure their best chance of long-term recovery. Psyclarity Health’s outpatient programs provide inpatient-quality treatment with the freedom of an outpatient setting.

Some of the many benefits our treatment centers offer:

• Weekly therapy sessions as required by the patient
• Psycho-educational group therapy
• Behavioral therapies for family members and loved ones affected by drug abuse
• Support groups
• Transportation within 100 miles of the center
• Sober living accommodation
