Drug Treatment Centers (rough Draft)

Objectives (from Syllabus) Maybe we can use this for something:

This paper will compare inpatient/residential and intensive out patient treatment programs, identify the characteristics of successful substance abuse treatment programs, and explain the relevance of (all) treatment modalities to the workplace.

findings of on-site visit (each student is expected to complete a site visit for their learning team) to a number of local drug/alcohol treatment programs. This may be inpatient/residential or outpatient but must include review of all components of the program as described in the objectives including 12-step support program: Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), or Cocaine Anonymous (CA).

Treatment Options Paper (Companion to site visited)

In Week Five, the Learning Team will submit a paper on Treatment Options. The paper must include a minimum of 1500 words and include a description of the modalities used, the demographics of the population, the referral mechanisms both in and out, follow up and aftercare, and the success rates. This will be a companion paper to the Site Visit.

Shelly – Outpatient - Circle Treatment Center

Referrals are a large part of CTC’s operating success. The primary referral vehicle is word of mouth, however, CTC receives referrals from local hospitals, attorneys, and the yellow pages. CTC refers out to Psychiatrists, AA meetings, attorneys, inpatient programs, and other outpatient centers. The follow-up and aftercare was lacking, in that they do not proactively contact members after they finish their program. Basically, most of the members there are doing so by the direction of the court or by their attorney's suggestion to lessen a drug or alcohol offense. CTC notifies both the attorney and court if a member does not show up to scheduled meetings. CTC does offer their assistance in the future and offer take home information but that is the extent of the follow up they do.
