About Communicare – Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit – Elizabethtown
Communicare – Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit, located in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, offers full-service care for substance abuse along with co-occurring behavioral health concerns. They use individualized treatment plans to address each client’s unique needs and help with anything from opioid addiction to mental health disorders at their Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit.
The target population for the Opioid and Drug Addiction Treatment Program at Communicare is individuals who have a substance use disorder and require services, particularly those with an opioid addiction. What makes this program unique is that it uses the integrative approach by blending medication assisted treatment (MAT) with counseling and behavioral therapies. Helpful medications like Suboxone and methadone can be used to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings during the beginning of recovery, easing that painful process as clients focus on addiction treatment.
In addition, clients can engage in individual and group therapy that will work to overcome the emotional and psychological roots of their specific form of addiction. The program extensively advocates for a social support network by engaging family and community assets that fuel sustaining recovery processes.
On the mental health front, Communicare has extensive behavioral health and mental health programs that provide support for adults with anxiety, depression or severe conditions such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. One of those services is the Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit, which offers short-term, intensive clinical stabilization for adults in psychiatric crises. This unit focuses on stabilizing a person’s control of their mental health before they enter lower-intensity levels of care.
A special focus of Communicare’s mental health services is its crisis intervention model, which seeks to avert hospitalization by offering immediate care in the least confining environment possible. They provide personalized treatment services such as psychiatric evaluations, medication management plans and therapy sessions tailored according to the client’s needs.
