We want to help them kind of identify their high-risk relapse triggers situations...and it's really designed as it's still educational. But it also has a maintenance component, helps you remain connected.
Imagine a place where addiction isn't just treated, but lives are truly transformed. That's what you'll find at Glenbeigh, a specialty hospital for drug and alcohol rehabilitation. In this episode of the Cover 2 Resources podcast, host Greg McNeil chats with Kristen Schenker, a licensed social worker and clinical supervisor at Glenbeigh. Kristen dives into the hospital's unique philosophy that views addiction as a gap in coping skills rather than a moral failing.
Glenbeigh's approach is all about providing highly specialized and individualized care to help patients build a life free from chemical dependence. One standout feature of Glenbeigh is its dual diagnosis groups and specialty programs tailored for professionals like doctors, nurses, and business executives. These programs equip patients with the skills to manage their addiction while balancing their demanding careers and personal lives.
Glenbeigh also offers medication-assisted treatments such as naltrexone and Vivitrol, which help curb cravings and block the euphoric effects of substances. Kristen emphasizes the crucial role of education in aftercare, helping patients stay connected and maintain their sobriety long-term. She sheds light on how identifying high-risk relapse triggers is key, and how Glenbeigh's programs teach patients to handle these triggers effectively.
The conversation also touches on Glenbeigh's scholarship fund and the 12-step model, both of which have been instrumental in helping patients turn their lives around. Kristen passionately believes in breaking the stigma around addiction and educating the community about available treatment options. She calls for a collective effort to support those affected by addiction, stressing that recovery is possible with the right help.
Tune in to hear how Glenbeigh's holistic and individualized approach to addiction treatment is making a real difference in people's lives.
