Support for engaging recovery and maintaining sobriety

Our early recovery services offer a different approach to maintaining sobriety. Along with individual and group therapy, the person is supported by our medical staff as well. This combination addresses the person’s substance-related social, psychological, and biological needs. We work with the person to create an individualized treatment plan as a foundation for successful recovery.

​

These treatment plans also take into account a person’s busy life. At Parallax Center, we work hard to make sure that treatment is as accessible as possible. As such, we have extended evening and weekend hours to help accommodate demanding schedules. We also host a peer-led Dharma Recovery group at our center to make access to this community resource easier and more inviting. 

​

We are also proud to collaborate with Argus Community to offer HIV and Hepatitis C testing along with health education.

 

Treatment plans incorporate:

One-on-one individual therapy

Group therapy

Addressing co-occurring disorders

Follow-up medical appointments

Participation in mutual help programs

Collaboration with outside supports

Stabilization: The missing piece

In addition to psychosocial interventions, patients are monitored by our medical staff throughout treatment. Because the brain undergoes a healing process following abstinence, non-addictive and time-limited medications can be provided when necessary to stabilize physical and psychiatric symptoms. These often include anxiety, depression, and sleep issues that may continue after an acute detoxification is completed.  

​

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is commonly incorporated into treatment plans. These prescriptions may include, but are not limited to: Antabuse (disulfiram), Vivitrol/Revia (naltrexone), Suboxone (buprenorphine), Topamax (topiramate), and Campral (acamprosate).
