About Restart Outpatient Program

Ultimately, the desire and commitment to make necessary lifestyle changes to overcome addiction has to be stronger than the desire to keep up with the habit of abusing alcohol and/or drugs, for addiction recovery to even be an option.

Self-care tips

During times of isolation, mental health experts recommend the following:

  • Have a routine that you practice every day such as waking up at the same time and getting dressed to begin your day.
  • Take care of your body. Exercise regularly. Eat well. Get a good night’s sleep.
  • Make sure you are not isolated socially. Because of these social distancing guidelines, a lot of people feel like they are alone. It is really important to maintain social connections. Check in on friends and family regularly.
  • Focus on the things you can control in your life
  • Set limits on the amount of newsworthy information you consume each day. Start by limiting how many times you seek out the news and identify the specific news outlets you retrieve information from.
  • Schedule some daily tasks or projects to mix up the day-to-day routine. For example, create a porch garden that you can take care of and watch grow.

  • Medication-assisted therapy is available
  • And so are housing, employment, and financial assistance referrals.

What to expect: Restart your next 90 days clean and sober

Whether it be a sudden unfortunate circumstance of loss, profound stress, trauma, financial hardships and the isolation of the pandemic, these triggers may cause people to increase their usage and dependency on alcohol and/or drugs, which leads to addiction.

The recent increase in alcohol and substance abuse, overdoses and the demand for addiction recovery services are presenting enormous challenges for individuals and their families.

“Addiction represents some of the most devastating losses, shame and regrets. It can lead to voluntary or involuntary institutionalization, incarceration and/or death, if untreated.”

Seeking Help

Detox: What happens during an alcohol or drug detox?

The goal is to address and manage the physical withdrawals immediately and safely and encourage follow up treatment. During the first seven days, the withdrawals are the most pronounced and dangerous, if not managed properly.

It is critical to seek professional medical advice to determine whether or not detox should be conducted under medical supervision or at home. Detoxing from alcohol and benzodiazepines can lead to death, if not managed medically. While, detoxing from other drugs can be uncomfortable, but not deadly, and may not need to be monitored medically. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is available to ease the physical withdrawals, lesson the tremors, prevent the highs and cravings, or will make you sick if you consume alcohol.

Come to our outpatient clinic at 79 North Clinton Avenue (just next to the RTS Bus Terminal) during walk-in hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 12:00pm.

Evaluation

Substance abuse evaluations can be conducted at any open access walk-in clinic or through a referral to an addiction treatment provider. Hospital emergency departments can make referrals. The evaluation is an information intake process that is necessary to assess the extent and level of addition, determine an individualized treatment plan and provide guidance on how to enroll into a program and pay for it. The evaluation process is broken down into two steps: screening and assessment.

Treatment

The window of opportunity, from the time an individual is really ready to take the step towards seeking treatment is typically very short and needs to be capitalized upon immediately. Programs are opening up more and more since the Covid-19 pandemic, and today there are hybrid models with both virtual telehealth visits and in-person sessions available. Group peer sessions have also resumed.

Whether the recommendation is for a residential in-patient or out-patient treatment, being connecting with people and family members who are also challenged with addiction and want to change behaviors regarding mental and physical addictions is crucial to recovery. Addiction evaluators can make warm connections to peers in recovery and local recovery programs.

After the withdrawal process, other factors of the addiction are explored, specifically what are the triggers, how they incite using, and a game plan to manage them. Mental health care is often a part of the recommended treatment plan.

After 30 days of being clean, cognitive changes begin to occur as the brain begins to repair pathways that were impaired with chronic and acute substance abuse. The brain fog begins to lift, the ability to rationalize comes back and memory improves. With alcohol, sometime there is permanent brain damage, depending on how much was consumed, for how long and how detox process went.

The Linear Process

Relapsing

Addiction recovery is a linear process and relapse is a part of this process. It’s important to learn what led to the relapse and any triggers that you may not have been aware of leading up to it. The focus should be on getting badk into recovery and less on the disappointment of the relapse.

Sometimes individuals need to be referred outside of the area for additional treatment. Changing the geographical location can be super helpful if you’re tempted to leave the program early against clinical advice to do. Or sometimes, there’s the need for a different curriculum in order for the message to hit home.

The Path to Recovery

Everyone follows a different path. There is no one path to recovery. Learn more CCFCS's out-patient and residential inpatient services for people - including mothers - struggling to recover from drug and alcohol addictions. Find your path, because you are worth it.
