While a client at Comtrea Athena Center, our clients’ strengths and limitations are professionally assessed. A fully individualized treatment plan is developed. The whole person is considered in the treatment plan process. Tools utilized to address the goals in treatment are the following: substance use and abuse education, individual and group therapy and psycho education; fitness, wellness and nutrition; meditation and stress management; life skills; relapse prevention; medication and illness management; family dynamics and much more. The skills learned are intended to apply supports, coping mechanisms and trigger recognition in their own practical setting, home, work or family life. The skills and tools are the first steps and are enhanced in outpatient treatment as well, for both the client and the family/significant others.
