Therapy
Therapy is the core of our service. This type of treatment, also known as counseling, psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a collaborative process between you and your clinician that results in positive behavior change and overall quality of life.
How Does It Help?
Therapy can help you confront barriers interfering with your emotional and mental well-being, and increase positive feelings such as compassion, self-esteem, and peace. The therapeutic journey is your own, leading you to be more self-aware so that you can continue to grow and find self-actualization.
How do I start?
We’ll connect you with therapists who have Master’s level training, follow evidence-based treatment approaches, and have years of experience. Our psychotherapy providers include professional counselors, psychologists, and social workers.
Medication Management
Medication can and does help many people on their path to wellness. Medication can be a temporary tool to give your mind time to adjust to traditional talk therapy, or a tool you utilize indefinitely every day to live a happier, healthier life.
How do i Start?
It’s important to remember that getting help for your mental health can be a long process. You and your doctor are discovering which sort of therapy resonates with you and which medication is right for you. If you’re taking medication, you may need to try several different ones before you find what works best for you and your mind. Be kind to yourself as you take the time it takes to get there.
What if I’m Receiving Medication and I Don’t Think It’s Helping?
If there is little or no change to your symptoms after six weeks, your medication provider will work with you to prescribe a new medication or combination of medications. Some people respond better to one medication than another, so it can be a process to figure out what works best for you. You may not always start off with the exact right rolls, but as you learn what you want to build for yourself, the tools you need for that will become clearer.
Resource Connect Substance Use Treatment
Our Substance Use Treatment program offers individual, family, and group therapy services for all patients in treatment. Our accredited program has Master’s level clinicians trained to address substance use disorders and any other possible underlying mental health conditions.
Immersive outpatient Program
The immersive outpatient program at Resource Connect is focused on working adults with a history of substance abuse who will benefit from three days a week of 90 minute groups as well as once a week case management and drug screening. Clients will receive education and training in self-help support participation, relapse prevention, and mindfulness. Access to licensed psychotherapists, psychiatrists and addiction medicine is available and encouraged for clients needing help.
The goal is to prepare individuals who have completed treatment and have solid family or community support with a program that encourages and allows co-occurring participation in twelve step or other self help participation that is so critical for success.
Outpatient Program
After completing the immersive outpatient program, we encourage patients to continue their recovery in our outpatient program. The goal of the adult outpatient program is to help patients sustain and strengthen their recovery.
These are 90-minutes long with a frequency of one to two times per week, and are offered in the evening to help accommodate schedules for working adults.
Patients must have approximately two to three months of continuous sobriety to qualify for the outpatient group.
DWI/DUI & early intervention
Resource Connect’s DWI/DUI & Early Intervention education program is specifically for patients with little or no previous chemical dependency education. More generally, it’s designed for those who wish to learn more about substance use disorders. Our program is state-approved for DWI/DUI education for those charged with DWI/DUI and/or possession.
The program includes a 12-hour or 26-hour class option. The right class for a patient depends on clinical recommendations from the evaluation at intake. The classes are held every Tuesday evening from 6 – 7PM (60-minute sessions).
