Kemah Palms Recovery

Alcoholism

Alcoholism occurs when a person becomes physically and psychologically dependent on alcohol. Attending a professional alcohol rehab in Texas can provide customized intervention methods to address the physical, mental, and relational challenges of addiction.

Drug Addiction

During rehab in Texas, you’ll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you’ll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.

Dual Diagnosis

Texas's specialized dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs prioritize comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. These programs offer diverse levels of care, including outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization options. Evidence-based therapies, trauma-informed care, group work, and educational workshops help treat both conditions at the same time and give you the tools to sustain mental health and sobriety.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

In Texas, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs can treat individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse challenges. Usually offered on an inpatient or outpatient rehab basis, clinicians provide individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, and skills training to address both disorders and equip you with the skills to maintain your recovery.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Medically Assisted Detox

Ridding the body of harmful, addictive substances, also known as detoxification, is usually the first phase of recovery. Those going through medically assisted detox can be administered medications by a team of medical professionals who are on-site 24/7 to provide different types of therapies that help mitigate withdrawal symptoms.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs offer high-level care for clients as an increased risk of relapse, including those in early recovery, those with a strong history of relapse, and those experiencing a crisis. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in nine to 20 hours of care weekly, with treatment modalities that combine psychotherapy and recovery education, and holistic therapies, such as acupuncture and animal therapy. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also common in alcohol and/or opioid recovery.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Partial Hospitalization Program

Commonly known as “day treatment,” a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers intensive addiction treatment while allowing you to return home each day. It can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option. Depending on your needs, PHP treatment typically averages 90 days with a weekly requirement of 6-8 hours a day. PHP treatment offers a variety of therapeutic interventions such as individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation. Oftentimes PHP treatment can be fully covered by insurance.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CMT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse. In CBT, one of Kemah's various treatment modalities, the individual and therapist work together to focus on the here-and-now to help in the recovery process. They search for patterns of thinking that negatively affect behavior and work to modify those thought processes to reflect a positive self-image. CBT explores reactions to outside stimulus, and it helps individuals uncover and recognize unhealthy thoughts more readily so that they can change them as they occur.

Creative Arts Therapy

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

DBT is an evidence-based approach targeting patients with chronic emotional dysregulation problems and impulse issues which result in behavioral difficulties. It suggests that some people react more intensely toward some emotional situations resulting in a dual effect: a higher level of emotional stimulation to stress and a prolonged inability to calm down. Also, these people suffer from extreme mood swings and the inability to cope with intense surges of both emotions and stress. Kemah Palms Recovery integrates DBT into their holistic recovery program to help patients overcome the challenges they face while empowering them with increased problem-solving skills, cognitive reasoning, and the ability to control and balance their emotions. We focus on reducing destructive behaviors by teaching coping skills and adaptive behaviors, which improves basic social skills, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, reality acceptance, and mindfulness.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR is fairly new non-traditional type of psychotherapy. It is used particularly in cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with increased frequency and success. Basically, EMDR uses a person’s own rapid eye movements to dampen the power of emotionally charged memories of trauma. In EMDR, one of Kemah's effective treatment modalities, the therapist moves their fingers back-and-forth in front of the patient’s face, asking them to follow the hand movements with only their eyes. Meanwhile, the patient is asked to recall disturbing events that have lingering traumatic effects. Gradually, the therapist guides the patient to shift their thoughts to more pleasant memories in hopes of helping the patient release the disabling effects of these disturbing memories.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation. Kemah Palms is committed to working closely with family members throughout the course of treatment, in all levels of care. Chemical dependency is a family illness; yet, a false notion exists that the family caused the addiction or that they can control it and help “make” the person get sober. In addiction, family members are frequently forced into unhealthy roles of enabling their loved ones because they care; however, this behavior actually hinders the addict’s wellness. Active participation in the recovery process, through healthy visitation, education, and counseling, gives the family opportunities to learn different ways to support someone in treatment and in the long-term recovery process.

Fitness Therapy

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

Talking with a therapist, psychiatrist or a psychologist is one of the most common ways to begin the mental health treatment process. No matter what the issue, talk therapy is almost always a part of the treatment plan. At Kemah Palms, one-on-one therapy is a common means toward growth and healing. Individual psychotherapy involves the patient meeting with a therapist individually in hopes of reducing the internal suffering that causes problematic behavior. Together they confront the barriers that interfere with emotional and mental well-being and the triggers that engender addictive behaviors. During these sessions, patients often become more conscious of themselves, their inner world, and their relationships with others.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
