Their services include medical detoxification, inpatient treatment, and outpatient treatment. They operate under the Alabama Department of Mental Health.
The medically monitored detox program at Pearson Hall involves the use of FDA-approved medications that help clear the body of harmful substances. The meds also help stabilize your body’s functions and reduce cravings, creating a much safer detox than if done at home. For those with children, arrangements can be made for childcare until detox is complete.
The inpatient program at Pearson Hall is for those who have a high level of need for safety, structure, and accountability. This program includes a specialized treatment plan for each person. Plans are based on what is deemed most appropriate when staff complete an assessment before clients start the program. Individual therapy, group therapy, 12 Step meetings, nutrition and fitness groups, new life skills, and coping skills are taught during the stay.
Outpatient programming at Pearson Hall is for those who can maintain a high level of independence during treatment. These services provide continued support for addiction recovery through individual therapy, group therapy, and educational classes. Medications may be managed and, for those in need, trauma support may also be offered. The goal is to continue to move toward a life of recovery and a suitable aftercare treatment plan that allows for reintegration back into society.
The 12 Step program is a common recovery model based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a plan for recovery based on faith. Middle steps include self examination and making amends to those who’ve been hurt by the addiction. The later steps include continuing to take personal inventory while living a life of recovery and supporting others in doing the same. Additional 12 Step groups include Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA), and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
