LOW INTENSITY RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT Available in all Oriana House Halfway House programs

Oriana House Admissions Department (330) 535-8116

PROGRAM GOAL

• To provide an appropriate level of substance abuse treatment to individuals in a residential environment who need motivation and awareness of their disease of addiction as well as time and structure to practice and integrate their recovery and coping skills.

TARGET POPULATION

• Clients participating in an Oriana House halfway house program who are in need of substance abuse treatment or are court ordered to attend Oriana House’s treatment program, but have previously failed outpatient treatment and need a more structured and controlled environment in order to stay focused on treatment goals.

SCREENING PROCESS

• Clients are sentenced to an Oriana House program by the court. • Clients are assessed to determine the nature and extent of their substance abuse, misuse

and/or addiction.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES • Low-Intensity Residential Treatment is a 3.1 level of care on the American Society of

Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria, is OHMAS certified, and offers at least five hours per week of treatment for substance use disorders.

• Clinical services include individual, group, and family therapy; and medication management. • Low-Intensity Residential Treatment has two tracks of services, depending on client need.

o Discovery Track: The discovery track is for clients who lack the motivation for recovery. In this track, services are aimed at clients who have not yet come to the realization that they have an addiction, or who are currently not interested in addressing it, and for whom recovery services would be unsuitable. The discovery track focuses on motivation, engagement, and attracting clients into continuing treatment.

o Recovery Track: Services for the recovery track are geared towards the client in the action stage of change. These clients have accepted that they have an addiction and may have had some successful treatment outcomes, but have relapsed due to deficits in their recovery environment such as a chaotic home situation, a drug using family or significant others, or a lack of daily structured activity such as school or work.

• Other treatment services provided include cognitive skills groups, life skills, employment groups, education, 12-step meetings, and other structured activities.

• Recovery Coaches trained to serve as personal mentors for people seeking or in recovery. • Family Matters (support groups) designed to educate, support, and promote family healing.

FINANCIAL OBLIGATION

• The program fee is negotiable, based on the client’s ability to pay.

SUCCESSFUL COMPLETIONS • 30 day period of verified sobriety.

Page 14: Oriana House, Inc. Programming & Criteria Guide and Criteria.pdf• Oriana House staff receives the information from the host computer on a regular basis with “alerts” being processed

Oriana House, Inc., Programming & Criteria Guide

• Completion of Individualized Treatment Plan. • Evidence of internalizing newly acquired skills through demonstration of prosocial behavior. • No new criminal charges or arrests. • The length of stay in Low-Intensity Residential Treatment is advised by ASAM to be longer

than in the more intensive residential levels of care. Longer exposure to monitoring, supervision, and low-intensity treatment interventions is necessary for clients to practice basic living skills and to master the application of coping and recovery skills.

UNSUCCESSFUL RELEASES

• Failure to achieve a 30 day period of verified sobriety after appropriate treatment extensions.

• Failure to complete or resolve objectives of Individualized Treatment Plan. • Failure to exhibit understanding and utilization of relapse prevention strategies. • Failure to have ASAM criteria indicate mostly zeroes. • New criminal charges and rearrests may result in termination.

• The SCRAM bracelet communicates with a modem that is connected to the client’s landline phone. The modem transmits the data to a host computer that records all tests and tamper information. Clients without landline phone service may be required to report to the facility at a minimum of two times a week to download the SCRAM bracelet.
