Holistic Treatment Program Approach

I witnessed how my cousin was brought to a drug rehabilitation center and how he went to a life changing process of quitting from that vicious vice. It was not easy for his family. The family agonized for weeks, I learned, before deciding to seek treatment for him.

What is Chapman House?

It is good though that a family friend heard about Chapman House and the holistic and effective treatment programs they offer. It is an institution “dedicated to providing those with chemical dependency, dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders with the highest quality of professional care available.” They do not only drug treatment for those with drug dependency problems but also the following cases of addiction such as a person with a drinking problem, gambling problem, eating disorder, psychiatric problem, adolescent with emotional or behavioral problems, and people who are extremely depressed.

Important Features of Chapman House Treatment Program
  • Addiction and Psychological testing. Subject are diagnosed methodically and carefully to determine the extent of their problems and the appropriate treatment program. More so, family members may administer the assessment themselves with the help of a checklist and the guidance of a trained professional.
  • Intervention. This is a pre-treatment method where his family and a trained professional to recognize his own problems and break out of it assist a person who is reluctant or refuses to enter drug treatment or any other treatment programs. Comes with the admittance of the problem or issue of addiction causes the patient to submit voluntarily to the treatment program.
  • Detox Facility. The patient is admitted in a confidential and comfortable residential facility where he undergoes drug rehab to break out of his addiction. They provide a comfortable and ideal environment so that the patient can receive appropriate emotional and medical care. Moreover, a personalized treatment program can be designed and monitored closely by a medical professional plus a 24-hour a day assistance is provided by competent staff.
What you get from the Chapman House is a holistic approach to treating people with addiction problems.
