Detoxification: Available to clients who need extra care, supervision, and encouragement as they experience the effects of withdrawl from a substance. Our staff and on-call physicians are there every step of the way to assure quality, medically safe care and provide the necessary support to facilitate a successful recovery.

IOP (Intensive Out-Patient) Program: Through motivational and educational lectures, this program provides education on alcohol and drugs and the effects they have on an individual. Individual strengths and limitations will be identified in order to better individualize the type of treatment a client receives. Clients will learn skills to enhance personal functioning in treatment as well as their daily lives. They will also gain a support network in order to acheive long term abstinence. Treatment is a combination of psycho-education and group therapy. Residential housing at our South Bend facility is available for clients throughout the recovery process.

Aftercare: This final step in treatment lasts approximately 26 weeks and is designed to provide a support network for the individual to help prevent relapse. Through a group setting, personal relapse triggers will be identified and clients will be taught how to best cope with the new challenges they face.

Family Counseling: Successful treatment is often dependent on a strong, supportive network of family and friends. Family counseling helps to get family members involved in the recovery process. These sessions allow family members to relay any questions or concerns about treatment and also learn appropriate ways to support the client, but not enable them.

Case Management: One-on-one individualized care is a priority at Life Treatment Centers. Throughout the entire treatment process, a professional addictions counselor will provide valuable life skill development, vocational rehabilitation and placement, as well as medical assistance. Case management begins as soon as a client walks through our doors and continues,as needed, well after a restored individual exits. Life Treatment Centers case managing counselors are dedicated to providing the best possible care and committed to their clients.

Transistional Halfway Houses: Clients who complete the primary level of treatment, but still need extra care and support may live in one of our South Bend halfway homes. Residents live in a community atmosphere and receive meals, housing, theraputic group sessions, case management and fulfillment as they are learing independent addiction management. A clients needs are also individually assessed and met by the supportive staff living amongst the halfway house residents. Clients are expected to pay a weekly fee for residency in our halfway home.

Bilingual Staff: Se habla espanol. We recognize the need for bilingual staff to communicate with many clients. At Life Treatment Centers, we're proud to have a number of Spanish-speaking employees on our staff that enable us to reach out to the entire Spanish-speaking community.

Life Treatment Centers would like to express our gratitude to the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County for their financial support of the 2005 Restore-A-Life Campaign to renovate the men's transitional halfway house. Thank you!
