What We Provide:
Cedar Lodge provides an Intensive Outpatient Program, a Crisis Residential
Program and a Prevention Program.
Intensive Outpatient Program
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed to minimize the
disruption to the home and work routine by providing intensive
substance abuse treatment in the least restrictive environment.
The client is allowed to work and maintain his/her home life and
at the same time receive quality treatment for substance abuse.
The program is offered up to three evenings per week, three hours
per session, for a period of two to six months depending on the individual
needs of the client. This program consists of a minimum 100 hours
in intensive treatment. Services are provided primarily in a therapeutic
group setting, but individual and family counseling is available,
as needed.
Candidates for the IOP must be 19 years of age or older, have a
primary diagnosis of chemical dependence or chemical abuse, and have
adequate housing. It is also preferable that the individual have
a viable support system within their living arrangement.
Crisis Residential Program
The Crisis Residential Program provides the chemically dependent
person the opportunity to obtain stabilization in a structured
therapeutic environment and to gain the necessary life skills to
live a sober and productive life.
The treatment program normally lasts from three to four weeks and
consists of group therapy, individual therapy, family therapy, and
active participation in 12-Steps support groups. Assistance with
G.E.D. work is provided, if needed.
Candidates for the Crisis Residential Program must be 19 years of
age or older and have a primary diagnosis of chemical dependence.
A candidate must be sober for at least seventy-two hours prior to
admission. This is an intensive, voluntary treatment setting designed
to help create a foundation on which the chemically dependent person
can build a life changing recovery program, which is an ongoing process.
An initial fee of $300.00 is required of all admissions.
Substance Abuse Prevention Program
Preventive services are provided as a part of the Mountain Lakes
Substance Abuse Program. Prevention activities focus on teaching
life skills to both children and adults. Childrens’ workshops
focus on using a variety of activities to encourage children to
develop self-respect and respect for others. Adult workshops include
parenting classes, stress-management and general workshops on alcoholism
and addiction.
