Compassionate Alternative Recovery for Empowerment (CARE) Program
CARE Program Overview
For those who may not respond well to traditional therapies, River Oaks offers the CARE Program—an alternative recovery track to help patients better navigate their emotions and interactions with others.
Our alternative rehab program is designed specifically for those with mental health diagnoses such as mood disorders that may exhibit behaviors that look unpredictable, angry, or self-sabotaging. We welcome those who may have experienced multiple treatment failures.
The CARE Program treatment track is ideal for patients who have mental health issues such as:
- Trouble with emotional highs and lows.
- History of traumatic loss.
- Interpersonal conflicts.
- Thoughts and behaviors that lead to emotional turmoil.
In addition to the comprehensive substance use treatment programming at River Oaks, the CARE Program treatment track offers:
- Group sessions (3/week).
- Individual training sessions that focus on identifying emotional needs, understanding personal vulnerabilities, planning, skills coaching, and implementing change as part of a planned course of treatment.
- Supplemental treatment services.
The CARE program at River Oaks is helmed by Karah Moody. With a focus on the utilization of DBT techniques and holistic approaches, Karah has been helping people in our community for more than two decades.
As with all our patients at River Oaks, our CARE patients have the expertise of our board-certified psychiatrist, addictionologist, team of registered nurses, and licensed therapists on-site daily to ensure they are receiving the best care to meet their individual psychiatric needs.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Licensed, experienced clinicians employ several behavioral therapies shown to be effective in the treatment of substance use disorders. Emotion dysregulation plays an important role in the development and treatment of substance use disorders.
The CARE Program utilizes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training and focuses on adding skills to use in real-time to better navigate emotions and interactions with others. Patients learn to change that which they can and accept things that they cannot change.
