Our Approach to Alcohol & Drug Addiction Treatment
3 Levels of Care for
Alcoholism and Drug Addiction
For people managing drug addiction or alcoholism, especially people with dual diagnosis like depression, anxiety, and the need for support often rises and falls.
Sameem Behavioral Health meets you where you are today (and everyday thereafter).
To treat drug addiction or alcoholism, including with a dual diagnosis,, Sameem has three levels of individualized support:
Intensive Programs
- Rehab Facility (Inpatient)
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP Day/Evening Program)
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP full-day program)
- Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Enhanced Support
- Sameem Enhanced Support Services
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP half-day program)
Long-term Healthy Living
- Sameem Healthy Living Services
- AA/NA Meetings
During a crisis like relapse of drug addiction or alcoholism, we can mobilize quickly with an Intensive Outpatient Program. Likewise, as you step down to aftercare, we can offer long-term programs with many treatment options.
All 3 of our alcoholism and drug addiction support programs are designed to help you maintain your sobriety and feel:
- Optimistic about your future
- Grateful for the life you have today
- Connected to your closest friends or family and
- Able to achieve goals you set for yourself
Note:
Before someone can successfully be treated to stop using drugs and/or alcohol and gain control of their lives they must not have drugs or alcohol in their system and be mentally stable. For those that aren't their first step is to enter Detox or Hospitalization to stabalize their health.
Addiction Treatment Journey
Prequalifying State
To be successful in overcoming addiction and any underlying cooccurring disorders one must be in a stable health and mental state to successfully complete treatment. Things like Detox or hospitalization may be necessary for the health and safety of an individual and to bring them to a stable state where addiction treatment can begin. Detox and hospitalization can help an individual regulate themselves as their body goes through withdrawal from substances. Treatment Medications are often used to help curb withdrawal and craving feelings as well as stabilizing ones mind/mental state.

Level 3
People in a crisis or just emerging from one typically require an intensive addiction program. Often, this starts as an inpatient residential program, then transitions to a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), and/or moves to an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). In this level one learns about the various ways addiction can present itself and how to identify it going forward. Part of treatment in this level will also include identifying underlying situations that trigger addictive behavior.
People in Enhanced Support meet for three to five times per week, as needed. Programs are always individualized to meet individual needs. During this level individuals will face being in trigger situations. In both group and individual sessions they will discuss skills and techniques that one can use to successfully cope with trigger situations. Experiencing, talking through and hearing how others manage difficult situations provides a strong foundation. As one progresses in their treatment, the amount of time in this program diminishes.
People in Long Term Healthy Living are living a "normal" life while successfully navigating everyday triggers. In this stage one will using a number of coping mechanisms such as situational avoidance and transference. Session touch points may start out at 1-2x per week and become less frequent over time. While sessions can be eliminated all together clients can also return at any point to help navigate any new challenges one encounters that they need help with.
Post State of Mind
Healthy Living is the state of mind of those that manage addiction issues. As time goes by we get stronger and stronger at avoiding situations and coping with triggers we encounter when we aren't able to avoid situations. As we encounter challenging times reconnecting with Sameem or going to a few sessions can be helpful in avoiding a relapse. And if a relapse does happen, because we are all human, reengaging with Sameem in a customized abridged version of the 3-Levels of Care can help us overcome our relapse and help us get stronger from it.
