We use an approach that encompasses the entire body, mind, and spirit. After becoming physically well and medically stable, Our staff members are gently pushing through a multitude of therapeutic techniques for the patient to determine what things from their past has been causing the inability to refrain from using drugs, despite the consequences that are being brought into their life. While all this is going on, we are encouraging step-work and connections being made through the local church.

Motivational interviewing is a form of one-on-one therapy in which an individual and their counselor identify and discuss behaviors that put the individual's health at risk. Unlike other forms of therapeutic treatment that relies on the individual receiving professional advice that focuses on problem-solving, this therapy directs attention to the individual's ambivalence toward change.
This technique addresses the attitudes that resist change. It seeks to motivate the individual to make the behavioral adjustments necessary to free themselves from their substance dependency.

Developed by Albert Ellis, REBT is a philosophically-based, humanistic approach that emphasizes individuals' capacity for creating their own self enhancing and self-defeating emotions. Ellis borrowed from philosophy, Epictetus, the Stoic philosopher said, "People are not influenced by things, but their view of things." REBT holds that an individual's belief system affects whether they attain maximum pleasure and self-actualization. Happiness is the goal of all human beings. REBT is a theory of how people (who want happiness) can inadvertently create personality and emotional disturbance
APC's Approach
Medical
Teaching Healthy Choices begins with facilitating their primary care needs from Day 1. It is next to impossible to keep someone focused on their Clinical Treatment when they have health problems that have been left unattended.
OUD is facilitated with medication management according to all relevant evidence based practices. There are many options with medications. There is no one-size fits all approach. Each patient is assessed to determine the appropriate path. Our MAT's include Vivitrol injections, Buprenorphine Therapy, and Sublocade Injections.
CLINICAL
Each patient undergoes a bio-psycho-social assessment to determine the best treatments necessary for their specific diagnosis. We have multiple disciplines represented to manage the entire need that the patient has. We take a holistic approach, in that we treat mind, body, and spirit. The tri-union of all parts are necessary, for the patient to recover.
Treatment plans are established with the help of the patient. It is important to Anchor for all patients to get the services they desire, whether they are provided by Anchor or referred out to other providers, through collaborative efforts.
Peer Recovery Support Specialist are brought in and utilized on the treatment team to bring that peer model that has proven to be successful with teaching how to change one's life through behavior modification and establishing a culture of recovery.
Recovery is not what you do, it becomes a part of who you are.
INTEGRATED AND INVETERATE
Use an integrated approach toward the Four Major Dimensions of Recovery to establish Recovery Capital.
The Recovery Capital is what sticks with a patient, when the patient graduates, discharges, or leaves early against medical advice. It is the lesson's learned. It is our objective to give a patient as much "recovery capital" in as short of period of time.
Here at APC, we stay focused on the Four Major Dimensions of Recovery.
Health- Overcoming or managing disease and living in a physically and emotionally healthy way.
Home - A stable and safe place to live.
Purpose - meaningful daily activities, such as job, school, volunteerism and family.
Community - relationships and social networks that provide support, friendship, love, and hope.
