Substance Abuse Programs

Detoxification

Using the latest nationally recognized detoxification protocols, Highland Ridge Hospital provides a safe, fast and effective detoxification program, individualized for each patient, and overseen by our experienced medical team. Those requiring inpatient detoxification are housed in a secure unit where they receive close medical supervision and special nutritional programs.

Inpatient Rehabilitation Program

The Highland Ridge Inpatient Program is one of the most intensive programs available. Developed over the years to achieve rapid recovery with minimal relapse, we provide multiple groups daily, including: 12-step groups, psychotherapy groups, psycho-educational groups, recreational alternative groups, community milieu groups, family groups and special issues groups.

Each patient also receives individual psychotherapy sessions weekly, daily medication and medical management, family sessions and individualized self-help programs. Individualized treatment plans and patient progress is reviewed daily. Patients and their families also participate in AA, NA, and Al anon groups, hosted by Highland Ridge Hospital.

Partial Hospital Program

Our partial hospital program is offered to patients who do not require 24-hour supervision but still require intensive services. The 14 hour, seven day per week program includes the same level and intensity of programming as our inpatient program. Frequent, random drug screens are an integral part of the program. Temporary housing may be available for our out-of-town partial hospital patients at no additional cost.

Intensive Outpatient Program

Day and evening intensive outpatient programs are offered to accommodate schedules of participants. Programs include individual assignments, and three hours of intensive group therapy, four days a week. Additional services can include: individual counseling and family therapy. Drug screens are also an integral part of the program. We offer day and evening programs to accommodate varying schedules.

Lifetime Aftercare Services

Aftercare planning is initiated at time of admission. Highland Ridge provides a continuum of step-down care and also maintains a network of alternative care programs to refer patients to as required. Highland Ridge also offers a lifetime of aftercare services, including support groups and interactive support services.

24-Hour Psychiatric and Medical Intake

Psychiatric Care Programs

Highland Ridge Hospital offers a full continuum of psychiatric services to meet any level of care required. We also evaluate and treat co-morbid conditions. We perform extensive lab work and manage many medical issues concurrent with psychiatric illness. Our team of physicians, psychiatrists and nurse practitioners understand the intricate relationship between psychiatric and medical disorders, providing an integrated model of care.

Inpatient Care

Our intensive inpatient program is designed to efficiently and effectively evaluate and stabilize the patient, then provide the coping skills required to step down to lower levels of care. We help each individual achieve maximum levels of functioning in personal, interpersonal and occupational arenas.

Temporary interventions may include the use of 1:1 supervision, temporary commitment for treatment, and as a very last measure seclusion and restraint.
