4. Dual Diognosis Levels of Care/Who We Treat

Individuals often find themselves repeatedly entering an alcohol or drug treatment center only to relapse soon after they leave. Why? Many of these people are likely struggling with co-occurring disorders or multiple conditions that exacerbate each other, making recovery impossible unless these conditions are addressed simultaneously. Patients with co-occurring disorders may require a more extensive treatment, have a more gradual recovery process or experience more setbacks. Sovereign Health’s dual diagnosis program is designed to treat multiple conditions concurrently, allowing treatment to be more effective.

As part of our dual diagnosis program, we offer our patients these levels of care: Residential Treatment Center (RTC), Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).

Residential Treatment Center

The Residential Treatment Center, also known as inpatient treatment, involves full-time accommodations in one of our many residences. Our residential treatment level of care provides evidence-based, intensive treatment for people struggling with mental illness, substance abuse or a dual diagnosis. Patients have access to specialized services 24 hours a day, seven days a week along with comfortable living arrangements. All patients receive personalized, evidence-based care that can include medication management, cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive remediation. Sovereign’s calm, relaxing environment can provide a welcome reprieve to the stresses associated with daily life.

Sovereign’s residential treatment program is geared toward individuals with severe addiction and mental health issues who may or may not pose a risk to themselves. Residential treatment is our most intensive program, followed by partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment.

Partial Hospitalization Program

In Sovereign’s Partial Hospitalization Program, we provide comprehensive, medically supervised treatment for individuals living with mental illness, substance addiction or co-occurring disorders. Patients receive structured, time-limited therapeutic sessions with varying intensities depending on the severity of their symptoms. Individuals can receive diagnostic evaluation, active treatment or maintenance therapy to reduce the risk of relapse, hospitalization or incarceration.

Our program is designed for people who are experiencing increased symptomatology but are not actively a risk to themselves. Partial hospitalization is less intensive than residential (or inpatient) treatment, but more intensive than intensive outpatient treatment. Partial hospitalization can serve as an alternative to inpatient treatment or as a step between inpatient treatment and outpatient treatment.

Intensive Outpatient Program

At Sovereign, our Intensive Outpatient Program involves regular visits to our treatment facility over the course of a week or month. Patients receive a scheduled series of therapeutic sessions designed with their specific needs in mind. We offer group therapy, individualized therapy, medication management, cognitive remediation, mindfulness meditation, yoga, equine therapy and various other treatment modalities.

Intensive outpatient therapy is designed for patients who are interested in a more intensive form of outpatient treatment than usual. People in this program do not pose a risk to themselves and do not require partial hospitalization or residential treatment. Often, individuals in intensive outpatient therapy are able to keep up with daily life and a career while still receiving top-of-the-line treatment. We also offer evening intensive outpatient therapy for patients who wish to keep up with daily life and a career while still receiving top-of-the-line treatment.
