River Oaks Treatment Center Announces Expansion of Mental Health Services with New Emotional Recovery Treatment Track
December 16 2019 - 10:08AM
River Oaks Treatment Center, a leading substance use treatment
provider in Florida, has developed and implemented the Emotional
Recovery Track, dedicated to treating patients with chronic mental
illness.
Substance use disorder is often accompanied by
mental illness. In 2018, more than 9 million adults in the U.S.
simultaneously experienced a substance use disorder and mental
illness, and nearly half of those who have a severe mental illness
self-medicate with substances. The Emotional Recovery Track is
designed for patients who require more in-depth mental health care
in addition to treatment for substance use.
With the use of Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), among other
modalities, the Emotional Recovery Track helps patients to cope
with life and circumstances and personal vulnerabilities that can
bring about painful emotions. Patients in this track often have
mood disorders that accompany their mental health issues that can
lead to unpredictable or self-sabotaging behavior, and traditional
treatment settings may not have worked for them in the past. The
Emotional Recovery Track helps patients develop greater insight
into themselves, which allows them to develop more meaningful
relationships with others and ultimately cultivate a higher quality
of life.
The new treatment track is overseen by lead therapists Karah
Moody and Ian Barker, who are both licensed mental health
counselors (LMHC) and master’s level certified addiction
professionals (MCAP). Both have been practicing therapists for more
than 10 years in a variety of fields. Moody’s experience in
holistic treatment and Barker’s work in substance use treatment,
outpatient settings, correctional settings, and palliative care
help guide patients toward emotional recovery and resolve their
mental health issues.
“Providing this treatment track to patients who have more mental
health challenges in addition to substance use gives them a sound
foundation for effective treatment,” said Jeff Turiczek, CEO of
River Oaks Treatment Center. “There has been much success with this
treatment track thus far and we’re proud to help our patients get
closer to a new life in recovery.”
