Behind the Scenes: Brad Bell on ADAC's Clinical Approach

We think it's important for the outpatient counseling... ADAC does hope that the whole person will improve through the counseling.
Ever wondered what happens behind the doors of a clinical department focused on substance use recovery? In this episode of 'Give, Get, Grow', Brad Bell, a dedicated clinical staff member at the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council of Deep East Texas (ADAC), shares an in-depth look at the clinical side of their operations. Brad breaks down the process from the moment someone seeks help to the tailored treatment plans designed to aid recovery.
He explains that each individual undergoes a clinical interview to assess the severity of their substance use, which then informs the recommended treatment level. One standout service is face-to-face counseling, which Brad emphasizes as more effective than phone sessions. Group therapy also plays a crucial role, offering a supportive environment where individuals can share their experiences without shame or guilt. Treatment durations vary, ranging from a few months to longer periods, depending on individual needs.
Financial concerns are addressed through a sliding income scale, ensuring that help is accessible to everyone. Additionally, ADAC provides recovery coaches and support services that assist clients in transitioning back into society, including help with rent and bills until they regain stability. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how clinical interventions can make a significant difference in the lives of those struggling with substance use.
