Ambulatory treatment of substance abuse is most effective in a frequent occuring regimen. The Division's Center for Drug Free Living, established in 1989, provides this model in a structured and intensive outpatient program that incorporates the most effective elements of residual treatment, self-help, peer support, and group therapy. Medical and behavioral interventions, relapse prevention, family therapies, and interactive group experiences aim at stabilizing emotional health, and enhancing self esteem and interpersonal skills, in individualized treatment pathes that enable patients to continue work and family life. Persons diagnosed with a substance induced disorder, as well as their family members and significant others, are admitted to this unique treatment program.
