The
most
intensive levels of care at Pride Institute Florida
provide in and out patient treatment. The program
operates using time tested methods of Cognitive
Therapy combined with 12 step philosophy. Treatment
is provided in an environment that affirms, supports
and celebrates our GLBT community of origin. The
goals are for safe comfortable detox-ification of
chemically dependent patients. Introduction to the
recovery process, stabilization of psychiatric
conditions and integration back into the community
for continued support and treatment are the general
goals of the treatment experience.
Protocols established from American Society of
Addiction Medicine and the National Association
Private Psychiatric Health Systems are used in
addressing detoxification from addictive substances.
We offer protocols for the following:
-
Alcohol
dependence
-
Opiate
dependence
-
Benzo
dependence
In addition, both in
and out patient programs offer specialized
educational sessions that focus on heterosexism,
homophobia, history of our community and resources
for clean, sober, healthy living. These offerings
empower individuals by dispelling myths and
increasing self esteem.
Our program also includes Aftercare, a free ongoing
supportive component of treatment. Aftercare assists
the individual in achieving their identified goals
and supplements the support given by 12 step
recovery community and traditional outpatient levels
of care. |
