Recovery
If your child has a substance-related problem, ARMS will support your family every step of the way during his or her recovery. Our all-encompassing approach to substance use disorder treatment includes guidance in the following areas:
- Identifying and acknowledging that a substance-related problem exists
- Assessing the exact dimensions of the problem
- Determining necessary treatment, such as detox, inpatient care, outpatient care, long-term assistance, counseling or treatment for related behavioral or psychiatric conditions
- Connecting your child with the services he or she needs, by providing a referral, navigating costs and insurance forms and arranging admissions
- Monitoring your child’s progress through addiction treatment
- Assisting with relapse when it occurs
- Following up with additional assistance for the entire family at any time
A New Approach to Recovery
Don’t feel ashamed about your child’s illness. ARMS is committed to educating those impacted by substance-related problems, and the public at large, that addiction is a disease of the brain that should be treated like any chronic illness.
We will teach you how to best support your child during these often-difficult changes.
We will explain to your child how his or her developing brain may be making it difficult to make wise, healthy choices and teach him or her new strategies for making better choices. As with any chronic condition, such as hypertension or asthma, behavior modification is an important part of recovery, and we will teach you how to best support your child during these often-difficult changes.
Healing the Whole Person
Our experienced team of addiction clinicians, recovery coaches, and clinical coordinators is dedicated to improving your child’s overall wellness, now and in the future, by giving him or her the communication skills and goal setting strategies necessary to become a healthy, fulfilled adult. Substance use is just one focus, although a critical one, in this process.
Family-Centered Care
Your child will be assigned a Recovery Coach, a masters-level clinician, who will help him or her stay committed to recovery. Your family will have its own Recovery Coach, who will answer your questions and give you a safe place to process your own feelings about your child’s treatment. We will also help you and your child gain the communication skills to rebuild your relationship.
Your child will be encouraged to make a 1-year commitment to our program, but ongoing recovery support is offered in 3-month packages. And we will work with your family for as long as you want us to, in order to make sure your child has every possible support for maintaining recovery and achieving well-being.
