About Northeastern Oklahoma Council – Miami
Northeastern Oklahoma Council on Alcohol is a treatment center that helps people who are fighting addiction. They’ll help you through their residential programs and their outpatient treatment. There are two different locations: Miami and Jay, Oklahoma. I’ll be focusing on the Miami location.
Their residential program in Miami is a six month program for men that’ll start with 30 days of intensive inpatient treatment. You’ll engage in cognitive behavioral therapy and recovery education.
What I like about this type of therapy is that it helps you find the negative thought patterns that you’re experiencing. To me, this allows you to shift your mindset to something a bit more positive, which makes a huge impact on your mental health, your ability to cope, and your capacity to withstand addiction triggers.
During the last five months, you’ll be required to get a job or become a full time student. You’ll also be asked to consent to random drug and alcohol testing. Past clients have said that this place has been helpful but some have complained that the staff can be unprofessional.
