Mental Health and Addiction Treatment for Professionals

Special Approach to Mental Health and Addiction Treatment for Professionals

A private bedroom in an upscale recovery residence sets a relaxing tone. Delicious meals remind residents they are loved. A safe and clean environment reinforces a sense of security. Nurses, physicians, attorneys and other professionals treated for addiction and mental health at BoardPrep Recovery, cherish the empathy and sensitivity shown by our team. Already at the lowest point of their lives, they feared being further humiliated. Instead, they experienced the warmth, compassion, and professionalism that is commonplace during addiction treatment for professionals at BoardPrep. Indeed, it was “just what the doctor ordered.”

Based on a comprehensive multi-disciplinary evaluation, BoardPrep individualizes mental health and addiction treatment for professionals in Tampa, Florida.

Addiction Treatment for Professionals

Most professionals who come to BoardPrep for day-night treatment, for the first time, transition to outpatient after approximately 6 weeks.

Eligibility based on assessment findings:

Absence of a need for complex dual diagnosis treatment in South Tampa
Absence of legal problems or board issues (med pros)
Legal/board issues are manageable as an outpatient
Available high-quality Tampa outpatient program or IOP near home
Professional monitoring program endorsement

Professionals in the 6-week program will complete four phases of addiction treatment programs. The phases are as follows:

Orientation, detoxification, stabilization, early education & support (about 7 days)
Education, acclimation and early integration into recovery community (about 14 days)
Introspection, making changes, reducing relapse risk (about 21 days)
Clinical hours reduced for work/school, preparation (about 42 days)

12 Week Addiction Treatment for Professionals

(84-day estimated length of stay)

When needed, BoardPrep uses a 4 Phase or 12 Week model program to structure the experience. Professionals for this program meet different criteria.

Eligibility based on assessment findings:

Complex dual diagnosis
Legal or Board complications
Concerns expressed by professional monitoring program

Mental health and addiction treatment for professionals requires the four stages previously mentioned, plus extended recovery. Extended care, or stage five, means returning to full-time work or school while maintaining a robust recovery schedule. This program lasts 3-9 months depending on the individual. Professionals stay in a recovery residence in Tampa and may include attendance in the following programs:

Aftercare meetings
Individual therapy sessions
Family therapy program in FL
Psychiatric follow-up as recommended

The Collaborative Treatment Process

The first 3 phases of BoardPrep’s 5-phase system form the foundation for continued recovery in a less structured setting. Based on ongoing ASAM dimensional assessment, many clients are recommended to return home and continue their recovery in an outpatient or intensive outpatient setting.

When clients transition from early community integration to reducing risks or relapse (stages 2 to 3), a comprehensive clinical review is undertaken by the interdisciplinary treatment team. Clients are endorsed for the transition to outpatient or intensive outpatient at 6 weeks (upon completion of stage 3) based on the following criteria:

Behavioral stability and compliance with the treatment plan
Florida addiction medication compliance, including Vivitrol when recommended
Positive response to treatment
Completion of individualized assignment packet
Endorsement of professional monitoring program (med pros)
“Pre-admission” to OP or IOP completed prior to transition

Recovery at BoardPrep

Identifying with or relating to others in treatment is one key to early recovery. When a person goes to rehab in a place where they feel they do not belong, because they cannot relate to others in the group, it can actually do more harm than good.
