Tailored Detoxification to Achieve Stability
Parallax Center offers outpatient detox to help individuals stabilize and manage withdrawal symptoms from opioids or stimulants. Their outpatient detox also covers benzodiazepine and alcoholism as well as polysubstance use. They adopt a non-opioid medication detox protocol that involves using Vivitrol instead of buprenorphine and methadone to manage withdrawal symptoms. Vivitrol is a non-opioid medication that helps restore brain function and support recovery from opioid use.
Patients undergo a thorough assessment that examines their medical, psychiatric and social conditions to be sure this detox approach will be appropriate for them. The clinic will also provide naltrexone and Suboxone induction for medication assisted treatment (MAT) if that’s what you need. The detox program involves a tailored aftercare plan to ensure a seamless transition to lasting care. This mostly involves continuing treatment via their outpatient program.
Whole-Person Care for Lasting Recovery
Parallax Center offers general outpatient and intensive outpatient therapy groups alongside individual sessions that are trauma-informed and rooted in clinically proven techniques. Intensive outpatient care provides structured support and equips clients with practical skills to maintain stable employment and navigate everyday challenges.
Treatment is tailored to meet the unique recovery needs of patients via personalized treatment planning. Therapy groups address parenting issues, anger, stress and job security. They even offer specialized LGBTQ groups that cover topics like building sober support networks, identity development and stigma and trauma.
They offer services five times a week including evening and weekend sessions to enhance flexibility. Clients also have options between telehealth and in-person sessions. Their telehealth care is as effective as onsite treatment. This virtual session lets you attend counseling in a way that fits your schedule, responsibilities and personal needs. Clients who attend in-person treatment are provided snacks and coffee.
Court-Ordered Recovery Support
Parallax Center offers DUI/DWI evaluations and treatment for individuals mandated by the court as a requirement for license reinstatement or legal compliance. The program fosters responsible behavior that encourages recidivism via education, personalized counseling and legal support. They may offer referral services for a higher level of care as necessary. Additionally, they provide ongoing support and guidance and empower you to make positive decisions as you move forward.
