Details: This program is designed for adults dealing with alcohol and/or chemical dependency who require more than outpatient therapy, but not 24-hour hospitalization. This service is also available to adults with associated psychiatric diagnosis (dual diagnosis). With the goal of matching the intensity of the treatment to the severity of the illness, participants are continually assessed by a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists and certified addiction counselors to determine when they can be moved down to a less intense level of care. The program includes diagnostic assessment, family involvement, wellness, self awareness and education. Griffin Hospital's Department of Psychiatry offers inpatient Suboxone® induction, if medically necessary, in conjunction with an outpatient relapse prevention program for individuals dependent on opioids such as morphine, heroin, codeine, oxycodone and hydrocodone.
