About West Ridge Center – Rutland
West Ridge Center in Rutland, Vermont, is a substance use treatment facility that helps individuals struggling with alcohol or drug addiction. The specialists use medication assisted therapies along with social and psychological counseling to provide effective treatment.
The staff will perform a detailed assessment that includes an initial phone screening, urine and blood tests, and a physical exam. Your clinician will also conduct a psychological evaluation and examine your psychosocial history. All of this information will help your clinicians establish a customized plan and set up your dosing schedule.
The medications they offer to address your withdrawal symptoms and cravings are buprenorphine and methadone. As you follow your dosing schedule the staff will monitor the effectiveness of the dose and make adjustments as needed. As you’re receiving medication, you’ll be required to attend individual and group counseling sessions.
I like that West Ridge Center also offers a variety of education classes to help you on your recovery journey. Classes include nutrition and wellness, communicable diseases and relapse prevention skill building. Classes on relapse prevention focus on topics such as the importance of a support group, knowing your triggers and coping with stress.
