Regardless of the level of treatment, each person is engaged in developing a specific plan for his or her treatment and areas of need. Outpatient Therapy Professionally trained therapists with many years of experience are available in both Ann Arbor and Chelsea to help each person discover more about themselves and what they need for a successful recovery from addiction to alcohol or other drugs. Individual, couples, family and group therapy are offered. The focus and length of treatment depends upon the needs of each individual and family. Clients meet one to two times per week and work toward goals mutually agreed upon with their therapist.
Some groups are ongoing, with individual stays varying according to their needs.
Other groups are time-limited. This intensive program is designed to allow those who need extra structured support for their recovery at night to continue to participate in school, child care, or work activities during the day. During the later phase of the program, each person's treatment plan shifts the emphasis away from structured time at Chelsea Arbor to include more involvement in home and community recovery activities. Family participation and Chelsea Arbor Alumni are part of the Saturday program. Day Treatment Day Treatment is designed for people who need more intensive and consistent support and structure to gain and maintain their sobriety.
