Intensive
Outpatient Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders
Pacifica Recovery provides an intensive
outpatient program for co-occurring chemical
dependency and mental health disorders at
the Old Schoolhouse in Claremont. The treatment
program is 8:30 am to 2:00 pm Monday through
Friday. This program specialized in treating
patients who become dependent upon prescribed
medication due to chronic pain disorders,
anxiety disorders or depressive disorders.
The program addressed these issues in conjunction
with treating the chemical dependency disorder.
Over the years, health plans have reduced
benefits for treating chemical dependency
and mental health. Many health plans do
not have a rehabilitation benefit for chemical
dependency. A few years ago, the federal
government passed a law that health plans
must provide a mental health benefit equal
or on par with medical benefits. These are
called “parity benefits.”
With our accreditation under the behavioral
health standards, we are contracted with
most health plans and treat chemical dependency
disorders as a co-occurring disorder of
a mental health issue. Most individuals
with a chemical dependency disorder have
underlying emotional or mental issues that
the person is treating with the substance(s).
Focus of Treatment
The treatment focuses on the underlying
causes of one’s substance use. The
program embraces the 12 steps and requires
abstinence and attendance to 12 step meetings.
In addition, treatment focuses on underlying
issues of family dysfunction in childhood,
unresolved abuse or trauma, anxiety disorders
often accompanied with obsessive-compulsive
disorders, and major depression. The program
integrates the neurological information
of the addicted brain and the neurological
and psychological information related to
trauma. Many individuals who have tried
recovery in some form, but have not been
successful, may be medicating emotions of
which they are not aware. With these two
bodies of knowledge, the program helps individuals
develop a recovery program based on healthy
emotional and spiritual principles.
