About Specialized Outpatient Services – Oklahoma City
Specialized Outpatient Services (SOS), located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has a huge selection of programs that cater to both adults and adolescents who suffer from mental health or substance abuse concerns. They accept most insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna and United Healthcare. One unique service is their Structured Family Interventions which consists of family involvement to guide a loved one into treatment. This is a very calculated process which includes training, rehearsal, intervention, escort services, case management and follow up.
The intervention program starts with family education and training so that everyone is on the same page about the addiction or mental health issues their loved one is facing. They rehearse the intervention to feel prepared, and when the actual meeting occurs, SOS steps in and keeps the conversation focused and empathetic. If the intervention is successful SOS will provide companion services so that the person can safely go to a treatment program.
Aftercare is also an essential part of the process that ensures families affected by addiction continue to receive the support they need on their road to recovery. This step by step method puts less pressure on families and results in higher chances of success in the long run.
SOS also offers a wide range of outpatient programs that serve populations with substance use and mental health disorders. Some of these programs include intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), one on one counseling, self help groups and the development of relapse prevention strategies. With an evidence based approach, they support clients wherever they are in their journey to recovery and provide a high level of flexibility as well as personalized care.
