Morningside's Treatment Programs

Our Programs - Your Journey:

Each client's journey toward recovery at Morningside begins with initial assessments that help the therapeutic team identify where the client is in the process.  Morningside takes this information to create a customized program that meets the client where he or she is.  We have identified three phases in early recovery.  Each client is introduced to various processes of recovery that address the mind, body, emotions, relationships, family, recovery itself, independent living and a future focus for living and life goals.  Our clients move through phases of treatment with specific goals for an internal shift and marked milestones that lead to a new lifestyle of recovery.

Learn it - Stabilize

Phase One is the "learn it" phase.  This phase focuses on stabilization.  Through evaluation and care by medical, psychiatric, and therapeutic staff we help each client complete post-acute withdrawal symptoms, restore a proper sleep/wake cycle, establish healthy eating routines, articulate basic goals for recovery, identify triggers, and distinguish between thought, motions and behaviors.  In addition, there is an introduction to family systems concepts, accepting ideas around spirituality, and self-care.  This phase initiates a shift into recovery.

Feel it - Responsibility

In Phase Two our clients begin to find "the meaning" in their active recovery and can identify personal feelings, take responsibility for their actions and use the tools they have learned in daily living.  They can anticipate situations and they can separate and identify a reaction from a response.  They become active in their recovery, moving through each day with an attitude that supports recovery, health and change.  Mood changes, depression and anxiety regulate as the therapeutic process helps each client identify external and internal forces that impact them.  Clients are encouraged and supported in open conversation with family members and they also practice recovery methods in daily living situations.

Live it - Solidifying

Phase Three supports all clients in experiencing their new-found recovery.  In fact, it is a phase of experiences.  There tends to be shift in attitude that includes giving back to the family and community.  Mood changes are less extreme and they begin to move through each day with the ability to deepen their commitment to a new lifestyle.  There is a higher consciousness emerging with a shift of reliance and the nature of acceptance. Personal power is derived from connection rather than control.  Family conversations and interactions are often more spontaneous and on safe ground for all.  The focus is now upon deeper issues that intrude on daily serenity, acceptance and stability.

Dual Disorder Treatment

Morningside has a dedicated staff of psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and marriage and family therapists devoted to treating underlying or coexisting psychological disorders.  We have developed an integrated approach to the treatment of patients with co-occurring psychiatric disorders as well as marijuana, alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine, opiate, and other drug use disorders.

We use a combination of the latest, well-proven methods in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders.  We integrate individual and group addiction counseling approaches with psychiatric interventions, balancing the focus of dual treatment so that both the client's addiction and psychiatric issues are treated with equal importance.

Comprehensive Structured Treatment

Morningside Recovery was founded on the premise that chemical dependency and co-occurring disorders must be treated with equal importance.  Clients come to us with varying backgrounds, cultural issues, psychological problems, biological needs, and addictions.  We offer a variety of programs and services to address each of these needs.
