About Saint Simons By The Sea – St. Simons Island
Saint Simons By The Sea in Saint Simons Island, Georgia, offers personalized mental health and substance use addiction treatment for adults and adolescents. They also address co-occurring disorders. This is when someone is simultaneously dealing with both mental health and substance use disorders. Their treatment options include medical detox, inpatient rehabilitation and intensive outpatient care. Specialized services are available for active-duty service members or veterans and their families. Additionally, they provide tailored recovery services for women via their Harmony women’s program.
They leverage their skilled and compassionate recovery team to deliver personalized treatment. Their Joint Commission accreditation confirms their commitment to quality care. The best part is that they accept Medicare and TRICARE. This makes treatment more convenient and affordable.
The facility offers a structured and supportive environment for residential treatment. Their program starts with an assessment and personalized treatment planning. This is followed by detox and continues through inpatient rehabilitation to intensive outpatient therapy. You can always stop at one level of care. However, following through this continuum of care is essential to achieving and maintaining lasting recovery.
You can leverage their confidential no-cost assessment to know if you’re dealing with substance use disorders. Their detox involves stabilization through medically managed withdrawal with 24/7 monitoring by trained professionals. The process is designed to manage acute and potentially dangerous psychological effects of withdrawal via the 12 Step approach. The recovery team may also administer medication if necessary to ensure safe and comfortable withdrawal.
Once stability is achieved the main therapy begins via inpatient rehabilitation. This program integrates the 12 Step model with evidence based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. This is delivered via group and family therapy sessions. The goal is to address behavioral issues fueling your addiction and develop healthy coping skills that foster relapse prevention.
You’ll also participate in recreational therapy and nutritional counseling. This addresses the physical, mental and emotional aspects of addiction. They also offer life skill training, drug and alcohol education and 24/7 nursing care. Psychosocial assessments, psychiatric evaluation and medication management are provided by their mental health experts. This supports clients with co-occurring conditions. The duration of inpatient care will depend on your unique condition.
Upon discharge from residential treatment, you can continue your recovery journey via their intensive outpatient care. This program involves about nine hours of group therapy sessions weekly divided into three hours for three days a week. Individual sessions are available as necessary. These sessions are based on similar evidence based practices to those of inpatient rehabilitation. You’re also be required to consistently attend AA or NA meetings at your convenience outside the program setting. The great thing about this program is that it is structured but yet flexible. You won’t have to disrupt your daily routine to attend sessions.
