As a professional struggling with addiction and possibly a co-occurring disorder, the consequences of your condition are far-reaching. In addition to your struggles, you may no longer be able to manage the needs of your patients that rely on your expertise and training to guide them through challenging moments in their lives. We understand just how vital it is for you to be able to deal with your substance dependency or mental health issues head-on, through a program that offers proven treatment modalities and a high success rate. After all, there are many depending on your restoration, health and long-term sobriety.
The Professionals Treatment Program (PTP) at the Center for Professional Recovery was developed specifically for professionals that are seeking lasting recovery and a higher quality of life. The program primarily targets licensed professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, pilots, and other healthcare providers but it is not limited to these occupations. In fact, we routinely treat non-licensed professionals such as business executives and others working in high-pressure occupations.
The staff at the Center for Professional Recovery is prepared to take patients through the full treatment process, from detox to aftercare.
Steps in our continuum of care include:
The detoxification process may vary, depending on the substance that was used. In some cases, withdrawal symptoms associated with stopping certain substances can become quite severe and even dangerous. Medically-supervised detox is essential in these cases to ensure successful elimination of toxins from the body in preparation for the treatment that lies ahead. We offer detox services when appropriate, to help our patients take a positive first step on their path to recovery.
Our day treatment program with structured transitional living allows you to step fully away from the rigors and stresses of your career and other obligations to focus solely on your recovery. Within the professional setting of Malibu, CA, you will have access to all the amenities of this beautiful beach community, including the caring network of a recovery community. Your days with us will consist of full-day group and individual therapies, and during your evenings, you will have access to 12-step meetings or alternatives. At the same time, you will live in a community with the support of your professional peers throughout the treatment journey.
This stage of treatment may be one of the most vital in the continuum of care to ensure a successful transition from treatment to recovery. Robust contingency care has historically been shown to improve the treatment outcomes for professional patients. These steps can include random drug testing, peer monitoring, and support groups that hold individuals in recovery accountable and keeps them on track with their long-term sobriety goals. In some cases, regular sessions with a psychiatrist or therapist might be included in the contingency plan, allowing patients to continue to work on their recovery.
The programs offered at the Center for Professional Recovery are geared toward adult professionals in need of addiction and co-occurring psychiatric treatment. We find that licensed specialists have a unique motivation to succeed in their recovery as they are typically looking forward to the future and the ability to resume their careers and lifestyle. Our goal is to help you through the process, providing the holistic therapy necessary to target the underlying issues that led to addiction.
