About Community Family Resources – Fort Dodge – Fort Dodge

Community Family Resources is an organization in Fort Dodge, Iowa, that offers clients prevention and treatment services for substance abuse. Clients have the option of either participating in the outpatient or inpatient program. They also offer same day substance use evaluations on their listed days and times.

After the evaluation, clients will be referred to the level of care the staff deems appropriate for their health issues. Individuals should be prepared to spend at least 2.5 hours for their evaluation. For individuals whose second language is English, they have language translation services which include access to a live interpreter to help make the process go smoothly.

In the outpatient programs, patients will participate in counselor led therapy groups and learn recovery skills and relapse prevention. The counselor will also discuss other topics such as compulsive behaviors and thought-stopping exercises. A great thing about this location is they offer various services that are tailored to specific types of clients. These services include gender-specific programming, jail-based programming and services for those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). When a client reaches the continuing care phase of their treatment, they’ll continue to be guided on relapse prevention skills to help them continue to avoid substance use.

Community Family Resources has two residential treatment programs for adults and adolescents. In the adult residential treatment program, clients participate in over 50 hours of programming every week with the staff members. Prior to this, an assessment is completed that will help them build motivation for recovery and identify their mental and emotional needs.

The adolescent residential program is similar with 50+ hours of program participation. Adolescent clients will spend 30 to 90 days at the facility where counselors will guide them on different topics such as learning recovery skills and building relationships.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
