Welcome to the first step in changing your relationship to alcohol and drugs forever!
No matter what has brought you to this point in life it is always exciting to stand at the doorway of a new adventure. Just imagine the questions you might have if, at this moment you were standing in the doorway of an airplane anticipating your first parachute jump. At that moment you might be filled with a variety of emotions and questions along with some anxiety as to the outcome of your new adventure.
By visiting this page, you have taken one of the hardest steps along the journey. This first step of exploration is for some, the most difficult to accomplish. We are often filled with mixed emotions about our substance use. Some of us are brutally aware that alcohol or drugs are destroying our lives, while others are getting mixed signals from friends, family and sometimes coworkers about how alcohol and or drugs are effecting our ability to live our lives.
If you have not done so already, you should obtain an alcohol or drug assessment (evaluation). This will help determine a diagnosis (if any) with regards to your alcohol and or drug use and provide you with a clear treatment plan if appropriate. Associated Behavioral Health Care specializes in assessments, however you may obtain an assessment at any State certified treatment facility or ask your primary care provider to go over your substance use history with you.
After the assessment, should it be determined that some form of intervention is necessary, the next step is to find a treatment agency that is State Certified, able to fit your scheduling and financial needs and most importantly, an agency you feel comfortable with.
At Associated Behavioral Health the entire management and staff are available to make your treatment journey successful and beneficial. This company accommodates a divergent population focused on examining old habits and values and learning new skills leading to a more productive, vibrant and satisfying lifestyle. Our staff members are professionals with specialized training in behavioral healthcare, here to help with your individual needs.
Take some time to answer the following questions:
• Why am I entering into this particular program?
• What will be the requirements of my program?
• What is the best mindset for me to succeed in this program?
While many of our clients enroll in the program voluntarily, others entering our programs are court ordered.
If you are here for a court or legal issue, even though these outside obligations are real it is important to understand this treatment facility is not the punishment arm of any social institution. The focus of treatment is to help you deal with a very serious and in some cases potentially fatal problem. Our desire is that you will be able to learn more about yourself and make the changes you need to make, enabling you to accomplish the grand plans you have for your life.
If you are in the program because you are court ordered, it is not uncommon to feel resentful about having to be here. You might be thinking that you really do not need this treatment. You may be experiencing feelings of shame, guilt, and anger when you start your program. Give yourself and the treatment process some time before you decide how you feel about it. It is our experience that people who can arrive at the attitude of being willing to open their mind to new ideas and learn what they can while they have to be here anyway, end up with a rewarding and positive experience. It is important to put a good effort into the program from the very beginning, even when you are uncertain as to the reason you are participating.
You might be wondering how you will know if you are succeeding in your program. There are signposts along the way that will help you evaluate your success. These could be:
• changing habits
• growing ability to communicate your needs
• acceptance of your responsibility for your actions and emotions
