Levels of Care Offered at Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services

Addiction Treatment

If you're dealing with a drug or alcohol addiction in Fort Collins, Colorado, there are many ways to get help. You can choose from programs that let you stay at the treatment center, or you can visit for treatment while living at home. There are also programs that focus on treating both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Plus, you can join support groups that keep on giving help even after you finish a program.

At Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services, we understand that everyone's journey to recovery is unique. That's why we create a plan that's just for you, based on what you need and what you're going through. Our goal is to help you tackle your addiction from all sides, and teach you how to stay healthy and free from addiction for a long time.

We offer lots of different ways to help you at Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services in Fort Collins, Colorado. This includes talking one-on-one with a therapist or sharing your experiences in a group setting. These talks can play a big part in your recovery.

Aftercare

Aftercare programs help people stay on track after they finish addiction treatment. Think of going to treatment as the first big step towards getting better. Usually, this treatment lasts for a short time, from 30 to 180 days. But recovery takes much longer.

Here at Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services in Fort Collins, Colorado, our aftercare programs are here to help when the main treatment is done. Once someone completes their treatment, they team up with our staff to make a plan for what comes next. This plan is all about keeping up with their recovery. Also, they can choose to keep getting help from us to stay strong in their journey to stay healthy and free from addiction.

Drug Detox

At Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services, the first thing you'll do to overcome drug or alcohol addiction is go through a supervised drug detox. This is where your body gets rid of all the drugs, alcohol, and toxins. It usually takes about one to two weeks to complete, and medical experts at Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services in Fort Collins, Colorado will be there to help you every step of the way.

Detox can be tough, but the team at Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services will keep a close eye on you and make sure you're safe and as comfortable as possible. They'll use different safety steps to make sure everything goes smoothly. Also, they might give you some medicine to help with any pain or withdrawal symptoms you might feel. This is all part of the detox, to help you get through it with less discomfort.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

In Fort Collins, Colorado, there are good options for treating people with dual diagnoses. A dual diagnosis means someone has two problems at the same time, like being addicted to drugs and also feeling very depressed. It's usually better to treat both problems together, not one by one. At Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services in Fort Collins, Colorado, trained experts help people with dual diagnoses get better by looking at their whole health, not just one issue. This way, they can heal completely and get back to feeling good.

Outpatient Detox

If you need help with a drug or alcohol problem but can't leave your daily tasks to go to a full-time detox center, consider outpatient detox at Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services in Fort Collins, Colorado. This option is good for people who don't have other serious health issues and have someone at home who can help them. With outpatient detox at Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services, you can stay at home while getting better. You won't have to stay at a detox center all day and night. Outpatient detox offers treatments to help with tough withdrawal symptoms, letting you go back home each day.

Therapies, Programs & Treatment Approaches at Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services

12-Step Facilitation

At Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services, we help people stop using drugs and alcohol by guiding them through a 12-step program. This program is a kind of help called 12-step facilitation therapy. It's a way to change behavior by encouraging people to join and stay active in the program. The idea is that addiction is a long-term sickness that affects a person's body, mind, and spirit. By following the 12 steps, someone can deal with all these parts of the illness.

In Fort Collins, Colorado, joining a 12-step program means you get to meet others who are also working hard to stay away from drugs and alcohol. Together, everyone supports each other to stay on the path to staying sober. At Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services, we believe this support is an important part of getting better.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT for short, is a kind of therapy that shows people the link between what they think and what they do. When someone goes through CBT, they get better at spotting thoughts that aren't helpful and learning to change them. By changing the way they think, they can make their relationships with others better and are less likely to turn to unhealthy habits.

Group Counseling

At Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services in Fort Collins, Colorado, group therapy is a way for people to get help from a therapist while sharing the experience with others. In these groups, which usually have 5 to 20 people, members often have similar issues they are working through. This could be a certain problem they all face or a tough event they have all gone through. Group therapy happens both where people stay for treatment and where they visit just for the therapy session.

In group therapy here in Fort Collins, Colorado, everyone talks together about a topic or a challenge they're dealing with. A trained therapist leads these talks. Sometimes the therapist will guide the conversation in a certain direction, and they might have a plan or topic ready for each time the group meets. This helps everyone in the group learn from each other and get better together.

Individual Counseling

Individual therapy is a kind of counseling where one person talks with a therapist by themselves. At Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services in Fort Collins, Colorado, this kind of therapy uses different ways to help people who are trying to get better from addiction. When people go to individual therapy at Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services, they get to know their therapist well and work together to handle tough situations, understand their feelings, and learn good ways to deal with problems. This therapy in Fort Collins, Colorado is also good for treating many mental health issues like addiction, anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, PTSD, and others.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing is a helpful way to encourage people to stop harmful habits. At Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services in Fort Collins, Colorado, we use motivational interviewing along with another method called motivational enhancement therapy. This combination helps those dealing with drug or alcohol problems to feel more sure of themselves as they work to get better.

Relapse Prevention

Going back to using drugs or alcohol after you've finished treatment for addiction is called a relapse. Many people who are working to overcome addictions might relapse at some time. If this happens, it doesn't mean you've failed. It just means you might need more help to stay on the path to staying clean for your whole life. Here at Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services in Fort Collins, Colorado, we have relapse prevention therapy. This will teach you about why relapse happens, what makes you want to use again, and how to keep it from happening.

Substance Use Disorder Counseling

Substance abuse counseling, also known as addiction counseling, is a key part of getting better for people who have problems with drugs or alcohol. It's a chance to talk about what's behind their addiction and find ways to solve it. At Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services in Fort Collins, Colorado, they mix different types of help and care to help people beat their addictions.

When someone goes to counseling for substance use disorders at Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services, they meet with expert counselors in a place where they can get medical help in Fort Collins, Colorado. They work together to understand things like mental health issues, habits that can cause harm, and what they want to achieve in treatment.
