The effects of chemical dependency are far-reaching, affecting the family and friends of the person with a substance abuse problem. For this reason, family and friends generally find it helpful to join in therapy sessions at Chelsea Arbor or to enter their own counseling to assist in their healing process. Support Groups Chelsea Arbor Treatment Center encourages the use of support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-Anon, Narcotics Anonymous, Women for Sobriety, and the Chelsea Arbor Alumni Group to assist in the successful recovery from chemical dependency. The Alumni Group meets regularly for sober, social, and service activities. Alumni members regularly share their experiences with patients and families in the Day Treatment and Intensive Outpatient programs.
Every level of care includes a strong educational component.
In addition, our staff members regularly present free lectures to community and professional groups at both the Chelsea and Ann Arbor sites. Topics and schedules vary, depending upon community need. Outcome Studies To insure the highest quality of care, we conduct ongoing evaluations of our program and systematically monitor the progress of patients. Second, measuring our patients' progress at regular intervals helps us to monitor our effectiveness and make necessary adjustments to continually improve our treatment.
