Group therapy is the primary method of treatment used by staff to facilitate your process of recovery. The group setting allows you to get feedback not only from the therapist but from your peers as well.

• Inpatient Detoxification:
  You will be expected to attend group programming as you are physically able to (based on the severity of your physical withdrawal symptoms).

• Residential and Day Treatment Services:
  Components of the 12-step program provide the framework for patients to learn about the nature of their addictive illness and to begin (or restart) their recovery process. Group therapy sessions are augmented with individual weekly session with the primary therapist as well as a separate session with the attending physician. Ancillary contact with family members, employers and others may be scheduled.

The items that you can and can’t bring vary depending on the level of care. As part of your orientation to the unit, staff will thoroughly check all of your belongings when you arrive. Please note that no alcohol-based personal hygiene products are allowed. Any inappropriate items will be returned to your family or secured by Rogers Memorial staff until your discharge.

• Inpatient Hospitalization
  Please note that, for safety reasons, all belongings you bring with you will be put in locked storage until they can be inspected by staff. The staff will then go through these items with you. Some items will be returned to you right away; some will have to stay in storage until the staff have time to assess your safety; some items will have to stay in storage but you may check them out if needed. All electrical appliances brought in must be checked and tagged by a hospital electrician prior to use and will be kept in locked storage. Please note that cell phones and laptops are not allowed. Anything that you bring which cannot be on the unit will either be sent home with family members or kept in storage until discharge.

• Day Treatment Services
  We suggest you wear casual seasonal clothing and proper footwear (closed toe shoes and socks). Please bring a pen or pencil for journaling and assignments.

The first step toward sobriety is to understand the necessity of abstinence from all mood-altering chemicals. To assist patients to remain chemically free, the staff will perform random urine screens for drugs and/or Breathalyzer tests for alcohol. Patients are expected to comply with these screens, as a missed screen will be taken as a 'positive' screen. Refusal could result in discharge from the program.
