About Vermilion Behavioral Health Systems – Lafayette
Vermilion Behavioral Health System is a comprehensive psychiatric care and substance use recovery clinic in Lafayette, Louisiana. Various treatment options are available for adults and adolescents. This includes residential care, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs. Their multidisciplinary care team is compassionate and highly trained. It’s also financially convenient that they accept Medicaid and Medicare.
Their residential treatment involves medical detox and inpatient rehabilitation. Detox takes place at their highly structured and therapeutic inpatient unit. It involves comprehensive assessment and evaluation, stabilization and round the clock monitoring by trained professionals. These experts may administer medication when necessary to ensure your detox is safe and comfy.
Their detox also incorporates the 12 Step model to equip you with the recovery skills essential for relapse prevention. Detox primarily removes addiction related toxins from your body.
After detox you can continue your recovery journey through their inpatient rehabilitation program. This program fosters individualized treatment focusing on relapse prevention, building coping skills and addiction education. This is in addition to stress management and psychiatric and medication education. These are covered in group, individual and family therapy sessions. The medical interventions, group therapy and medication management that they offer are especially helpful in addressing dual diagnosis disorders.
Family involvement is highly encouraged as it can improve communication, understanding and emotional support. This can fast track lasting recovery.
After completing their inpatient care program, you can step down to their partial hospitalization program. This is ideal if you no longer need constant supervision but still require intensive care for your long term recovery journey. You’ll receive intensive therapy during the day but return home at night. Transportation is available for those who live within 45 miles of the facility. The program involves individual and group therapy, family sessions and medication management.
The group session encompasses more recovery aspects than are available in inpatient programs. These include life skill education, anger management and communication. They also provide mindfulness, relapse prevention and cognitive behavioral groups. This program typically lasts six weeks but could vary depending on your personalized care plans.
You can still step down to intensive outpatient care following the partial hospitalization program. The core services are similar, but intensive outpatient care is slightly less structured and offers more flexibility. It may involve up to nine hours of weekly group sessions. Individual and family therapy is provided when necessary. This program lasts six to eight weeks.
Keep in mind that you don’t need to go through their entire continuum of care. It all depends on your unique situation. One or two levels of care may be enough for your recovery needs.
Their aftercare services may involve referral to peer support groups for ongoing support. They may also connect you to community resources like housing, employment and medical care.
