About Abraxas Ohio – Shelby
Abraxas is a youth oriented drug and alcohol addiction recovery center in the heart of Shelby, Ohio. When treating young clients, they take an approach that focuses on family relationships in order to explore those dynamics and build a support system for and after recovery. It’s a residential setting with modern amenities in a private location.
While inpatient treatment is limited to adolescents, Abraxas does offer outpatient care for adults. The treatment program uses the Sanctuary treatment and recovery model as a base.
The Abraxas inpatient program is open to adolescent males in crisis. Clinical staff provides clients and their families with therapy and education opportunities to give them a better understanding of addiction. Clients reside on campus for the duration of treatment, receiving 24 care from staff.
Each treatment plan is customized to meet the needs of the client. The program’s core is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which promotes increased self awareness, emotional awareness, and the development of communication skills. CBT reveals and dissects thinking patterns to show clients how their emotions lead to action and that positive changes can be made by changing how one thinks and reacts to stressful triggers.
Abraxas applies individual and group therapy, family therapy and counseling, case management, and mental health services to inpatient clients as needed.
The outpatient program is open to adults and adolescents regardless of gender. The Abraxas outpatient care program provides clients with the same treatment services as the inpatient program, but clients do not live at the facility. Instead, they make regular visits to engage in group treatment.
Abraxas offers gender specific programs on an outpatient basis. These specialized programs address the unique challenges men and women face during the recovery process.
Abraxas is accredited by the Joint Commission and is a PREA certified facility.
