Jay Higham, Chief Executive Officer, said, "This is the second location that BHG has opened "from the ground up." The opening of this facility demonstrates our commitment to expand treatment coverage into areas that are underserved. As a demonstration of our commitment to ensuring patients who need our services are able to get into treatment, we are offering all new patients a special introductory pricing program of $1 per day in treatment.

    There are several treatment modalities available for individuals with substance abuse disorder. It’s wonderful that there are so many options to support people with substance abuse issues (SUD). The road to recovery is so long for most people and finding the most suitable treatment program can be greatly beneficial to the client. On the other hand, starting a treatment program that is not the best fit can be very detrimental to the person’s road to recovery. One of the roles of the clinician is to identify with the client which treatment option is best for them. I will highlight what this process looks like and discuss in detail one specific…

    Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is the largest and most commonly known self-help group in the world. Since the creation of AA in 1935, there have been many programs modeled after it, which are also based on the 12-Step Program. Some of these include Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Chemically Dependent Anonymous, as well as programs for specific drugs, such as Cocaine Anonymous (CA) and Crystal Meth Anonymous (NIDA, 2012). Attendance and participation for self-help groups are open for anyone to attend and free of cost for all members, with meetings typically held in locations such as churches and public buildings. “Metropolitan areas usually have specialized groups, based on such member characteristics as gender, length of time in recovery, age, sexual orientation, profession, ethnicity, and language spoken” (CSTAT, 2008). Vast majorities of drug addiction treatment programs encourage the participation of self-help group therapy during and after formal treatment because the patients benefit from the social reinforcement that comes from peer discussion, while also helping to promote, achieve, and maintain drug-free and healthy lifestyles.…
