New services available in El Dorado County for professionals and families.

Many times professionals in the medical, law enforcement, legal, and business professions may need an individualized, private, and professional service to be able to get help from drugs or alcohol.
 
May 15, 2009 - PRLog -- When someone has a drug or alcohol problem it seems that the only help available is large impersonal programs. These programs may provide a good service, but may not be able to cater to individual needs. Individuals seeking help may not want to go to a large drug treatment program because they are concerned about their confidentiality. Also many times professionals in the medical, law enforcement, legal, and business professions may need an individualized, private, and professional service to be able to get help from drugs or alcohol. Many people don’t want to be treated like an addict. In fact, not everyone who has problems with drugs or alcohol is an addict or alcoholic. Some people may follow under addiction and dependence. Then others may need help for drug or alcohol abuse. These should not be treated the same.

In addition families also need specialized treatment as well as the loved one who has a drug or alcohol problem, there is typically a lot of help available to aid the individual in his or her recovery. Recovery is not a one-time event for the individual, it’s a process. It is also a process for the family. Many times the focus is on helping the individual with the drug or alcohol problem. There is some help for the family, but not a comprehensive coordinated and integrated approach like the person with the drug or alcohol problem is receiving. Some of the help that is available is self-help support groups, family therapy, family education, and intervention services. The family many times needs professional help to navigate through recovery and help their loved one to get help as well.

One such provider is Willingness To Change (WTC). They have created services specific to professionals and families, with specialized treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and dependence available. Conveniently located in downtown Placerville, WTC offers unique perspectives on drug and alcohol abuse and the effects on the individual and the family. WTC believes in a comprehensive approach to addiction. Their treatment is goal-oriented and client-centered, using the therapeutic relationship as a baseline to initiate, motivate, and facilitate positive changes and instill hope in their clients. This Bio/Psycho/Social approach treats the whole person for addiction rather than focusing on one aspect of the person.
