MENTAL HEALTH.
BRIEF INTERVENTION TREATMENT
Usually conducted in a one-on-one situation and can be implemented anywhere on the intervention continuum. It is a much less 'traditional' form of intervention option and it involves making the most of an opportunity to raise awareness, share knowledge and get a person thinking about making changes to improve their health and behaviors.
GROUP THERAPY
Led by a therapist or qualified professional and consists of a various number of participants. It is usually focused on specific topics that everyone in the group is working on. For example, a therapist or qualified professional may lead a group therapy session relating to anger management, postpartum depression, or suicide.
REHABILITATIVE CASE MANAGEMENT
A qualified professional will help plan, organize, coordinate, monitor, and evaluate services and resources for an individual in rehabilitation. Management uses a collaborative, clinician-led, multi-disciplinary approach to deliver a safe, robust recovery and to ensure effective outcomes.
INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT
A form of talk therapy where an individual works one on one with the therapist to address unresolved feelings, traumas, and mental health problems using a variety of different strategies and approaches.
FAMILY THERAPY
A form of psychological counseling (psychotherapy) that can help family members improve communication and resolve conflicts. It may include all family members or just those able or willing to participate. Family therapy sessions can teach skills to deepen family connections and get through stressful times, even after you're done going to sessions.
CRISIS OUTREACH (COMING SOON)
Qualified professionals will provide face-to-face help to people who are at risk of harm to themselves or others. Provides mental health engagement, intervention, and follow-up support to help individuals overcome resistance to treatment. Services include assessment, crisis intervention, supportive counseling, information and referrals.
SUBSTANCE USE.
LEVEL I OUTPATIENT
This program addresses major lifestyle, attitudinal, and behavioral issues that have the potential to undermine the goals of treatment or inhibit the individual’s ability to cope with major life tasks without the non-medical use of alcohol or other drugs. For individuals new to substance use outpatient services, the program also includes addiction education. This level of care is offered to individuals who are either entering a substance use disorder treatment for the first time and/or are stepping down from a more intensive level of substance use disorder treatment.
LEVEL II INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are used to address addictions or other dependencies that do not require detoxification or round-the-clock supervision. They enable individuals to continue with their normal, day-to-day lives in a way that residential treatment programs do not. IOP is designed to establish support mechanisms, help with relapse management, and provide healthy coping strategies.
ALCOHOL DRUG INFORMATION SCHOOL
The mission of ADIS is to promote public safety by reducing the number of injuries and fatalities due to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs. Individuals attend this course because their use of alcohol and other drugs has put them and others at risk. The course encourages effective decision-making skills and the reduction of recidivism by providing participants with accurate information about alcohol and other drugs and assisting them in making changes to their high-risk substance use behavior.
SCREENING & BRIEF INTERVENTION
A valid and reliable short screen that can be administered in a variety of ways, followed by a brief intervention if needed, based on the results of the screen. The brief intervention includes feedback about the screening results (what they mean for the patient and their health), concrete advice based on medical concern and low-risk guidelines, and support for the decision of the patient.
DUI ASSESSMENTS
In most states, if you are arrested for a DUI, you will need to be assessed for alcohol abuse at some point during the criminal proceedings that follow. Alcohol abuse assessments are intended to determine whether and to what extent a driver has a substance abuse problem following an alcohol-related arrest. This can allow our qualified professionals who are knowledgeable on alcohol abuse to develop a treatment plan to address your specific circumstances.
OUR APPROACH.
At United Family Center, our clinicians use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) approaches to work with our clients. Both CBT and DBT are evidence-based approaches that have been shown to be effective in treating a variety of mental health concerns.
When using CBT, our clinicians work with clients to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to their distress. This approach is particularly useful for clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders.
In contrast, DBT is an approach that was specifically developed to treat individuals who struggle with intense emotions and/or have difficulty regulating their emotions. DBT focuses on teaching clients skills such as mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
At United Family Center, our clinicians strive to meet our clients where they are in their journey toward mental health and wellness. We recognize that each client is unique and that their experiences and needs are different. By utilizing these evidence-based approaches, we aim to provide our clients with the tools and support they need to achieve their goals and improve their overall quality of life.
