nce use disorders. We provide an opportunity for each person to obtain the best recovery care possible.
> We pursue clear, friendly business models that promote the well being of our consumers. We seek to continually review and upgrade our skills, commitments, and the quality of services. Our Philosophy of Care:
We believe that chemical dependency is a chronic, and progressive disease; however, recovery is possible. Chemical dependency affects all areas of of life including: physical, emotional, social, and spiritual functioning. We encourage all of our consumers to attend community support groups as deemed appropriate. Our philosophy of care and recovery involves four steps.
> Eliminate any use of drugs and alcohol
> Change attitudes and actions as well as take responsibility for your actions
> Change the toxic people, places and things associated with former drug and alcohol use
> Build a support system to help in recovery; i.e. community support groups like AA, NA Celebrate Recovery or Church
We believe that with adequate treatment and through the process of ongoing change, our consumers can be transformed into responsible, capable, and productive members of their families and communities. Our Program:
> The A & M Recovery Outpatient Treatment Program is based on 16 weeks of treatment.
> All of our counselors are certified by the Missouri Credentialing Board and/or an intern under Clinical Supervision. We are a teaching facility that has three certified Clinical Supervisors that are capable of supervising any person/intern seeking credentialing through the Missouri Credentialing Board. We have a fully trained staff of five Recovery Coaches.
> We offer individualized treatment plans based on the needs of the each consumer, but the majority attend two hour groups twice a week and one, one hour individual session weekly. This is based on recommendation from the Department of Mental Health that suggest five or more hours of intensive outpatient treatment per week.
> During this time issues of cravings, causes and dependency will be addressed. To help hold our consumers accountable, random drug screens will be utilized. Consumers are also encouraged to call our Crisis Line @ 417-717-1222, available 24/7 that is answered by one of our counselors.
> Some of the groups available are alcohol/drug education, rebuilding your life, relationships/boundaries, life skills and process groups such as Grief and Trauma, MRT (Moral Reconation Therapy), Relapse Prevention and Anger Management. **Batterer's Intervention Program coming soon
We work closely with Probation/Parole, Department of Family/Human Services and Drug Court.
