Community Fairbanks group therapy

Community Fairbanks Outpatient Programs

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) at Community Fairbanks Recovery Center are designed for individuals who need substance use disorder treatment services while living at home or in one of our Recovery Housing apartments. Outpatient care allows an individual to incorporate treatment into life while still attending school, maintaining employment or staying connected to family.

Addiction Medicine Clinic

The Addiction Medicine Clinic at Community Fairbanks Recovery Center works with patients to prescribe medications that are evidence-based to treat the symptoms of substance use disorders. These medications reduce the symptoms of cravings and withdrawal and reduce substance abuse. Frequently prescribed medications include buprenorphine (Suboxone) and naltrexone. We also offer long-acting injectable forms of medications including Sublocade, Brixadi and Vivitrol. Patients are seen at weekly or monthly intervals depending on their needs.

If you are unsure about trying medication as part of your treatment plan, we are happy to discuss options with you and address questions or concerns. We want to work together with you on your recovery journey. A clinic appointment can give you the power of knowledge regarding options available to you for treatment.

 

Level 1 Therapy

Level 1 outpatient therapy groups meet one hour weekly for 12 weeks (about 3 months). Frequency and duration may be adjusted to meet individual needs. The group’s focus is substance use disorder treatment and associated issues that cause moderate impairment in the individual’s life. Treatment goals will address lifestyle, attitudinal and behavioral issues that are interfering with functioning or recovery. This program is based on the Patient Placement Criteria for the treatment of substance disorders by the American Society of Addiction Medicine.

Group therapy treatment programs are available for adults and adolescents.

Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

Requiring group therapy several days, afternoons or evenings per week, the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides flexibility and structure to patients. Education is offered to individuals and their families through special weekly family programming.

Partial Hospitalization (PHP)

For medically stable individuals who live in a supportive environment and have access to reliable transportation, the partial hospitalization program (PHP) is comparable to inpatient care, but allows a patient to return home nightly. The individual goes through intense treatment during the day, and involvement in outside support groups is emphasized.

Women's Trauma Program

This programming addresses the specific needs of women suffering from co-occurring trauma and substance-use disorder. Evidence-based best practices include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Seeking Safety.
