Treatment -
Advances in the field of substance abuse treatment, coupled
with the demands of readiness, have precipitated a
re-engineering of the delivery of substance abuse treatment
services in the Marine Corps and Navy. Subsequently a new
"Continuum of Care" treatment model has been developed. This
model places greater emphasis on outpatient care and
individualized treatment.
The Substance Abuse Counseling Center provides both
out-patient and intensive out-patient treatment. Treatment
includes, case management (to include referrals to inpatient
care if needed), counseling, treatment planning and
aftercare/continuing care recommendations. Treatment is
abstinent based, uses an individualized continuum of care
approach and is coupled with emphasis on personal
responsibility and 12-Step self-help programs. Treatment is
primarily offered to active duty personnel. All treatment
services are based on the individuals' needs and have a
variable length of stay, based on these needs.
Also provided are similar services to retired military,
dependents of military personnel (18 years and older), on a
space available basis. Treatment is usually arranged by the
individual's primary health care provider.
Out-Patient (OP) treatment is aimed at patients who have a
substance use disorder, (pattern of misuse of alcohol) and
meet the placement criteria for such treatment. The goal of OP
treatment is to reduce problematic use of alcohol through an
education and counseling approach that focuses on increasing
the member's awareness of his/her relationship with alcohol,
motivating positive attitude and behavioral changes in that
relationship, increasing the patient's ability to make
responsible decisions about the use of alcohol in their life,
assisting in the development of plans to avoid further alcohol
incidents, and referring to other resources for assistance
when indicated. OP requirements are not to exceed nine contact
hours per week.
Intensive Out-Patient (IOP) treatment is designed for patients
who have a substance use disorder, which requires a more
intensive treatment program while still meeting the placement
criteria for such treatment. The goal of IOP treatment is to
assist the patient's acceptance and adjustment to having a
substance use disorder. Introducing life skills surrounding
choices and responsibility while keeping in mind the treatment
goal of each patient using a bio-psycho-social model delivered
in an outpatient setting. IOP requirements call for more than
nine hours, but not greater than 20 contact hours per week. |
