Lionheart Recovery Center utilizes a number of proven and effective therapies that work to treat the root causes of addiction. For a list of just some of our therapies, visit our treatment services page.
Lionheart encourages loved ones to play an active role in treatment through family therapy sessions and visitation. Lionheart holds visitation hours on the weekends and you will be regularly updated on the time and location of visitation for the week. You will be sent a welcome letter from your loved one’s therapist with detailed information on family visitation rules, the family support program, and important contact numbers. Family therapy happens separately from visitation and the Primary Therapist will be in touch to schedule family therapy sessions. Please note that due to COVID-19, in-person visitation may be suspended. Lionheart will keep you updated as they closely follow CDC recommendations.
Even if you are ready to quit an addiction, it is normal to be nervous or scared about going to treatment because you don’t know what to expect. Knowing what happens at LRC can put your mind at ease. The first step is the admission process where you have thorough intake and nursing assessments to start customizing your treatment plan. You will meet with our experienced medical providers to address any detoxification, medical, and psychiatric needs. Once your medical needs are stabilized, various types of therapies will be used throughout the recovery process to address your goals and prepare you for long-term recovery. By the end of treatment, you have developed an aftercare plan with your providers that is full of social and medical support services to help in your transition. Lionheart is with you every step of the way. You can expect compassion, understanding, and unwavering support as you take this journey to get your life back.
Commonly asked questions about aftercare and more.
Aftercare is the follow-up provided to extend care after a treatment program. Aftercare is meant to build off the services received from Lionheart. We do assist with aftercare and the planning begins with your providers during the course of treatment. Each aftercare plan is different because it is based on certain needs and priorities. An aftercare plan may include, but not limited to, the following: transitional living, intensive outpatient, psychiatry, support groups, or medical appointments. You and your treatment team work together to develop the aftercare plan that is right for you.
Relapse may seem like a failure, but it is actually a part of the recovery process. It is important to know that relapse and recovery can occur together as part of an ongoing journey. There is not a single event where you are suddenly cured and will never experience a relapse. Relapse can be a sign that it is time to make some changes to your recovery plan. Lionheart has a 24/7 phone line where you can reach one of our professional staff members to gain guidance on the next steps to take. Do not hesitate to reach out anytime for assistance. We are always here for you.
