Palm Springs, Fla., September 14, 2017–As part of its ongoing vision to providing the greatest probability of long-term sobriety for patients, Retreat Premier Addiction Treatment Centers has partnered with eHome Aftercare to offer a broader range of outpatient counseling and education services, making Retreat one of the first treatment centers to offer these family and outpatient program services online, in a safe, secured environment.
By offering eHome Aftercare services as an optional program to Retreat patients and their families, Retreat enhances the opportunity for more family members and critical familial alliances such as clergy, physicians, or school psychologists, the ability to be intimately involved from the beginning of their loved one’s entry into treatment, throughout their progression, and especially in their aftercare.
Retreat continues to offer premiere innovative programs to treat those suffering from the disease of addiction, as well as their family, said Founder and CEO Peter Schorr, Retreat Premier Addiction Treatment Centers. ͞Combining our high-end, compassionate inpatient treatment with state-of-the-art family and outpatient counseling ensures afforded through eHome Aftercare, we remain in the forefront of effective, holistic addiction treatment programs.
Through the Retreat partnership with eHome Aftercare, once a patient enters Retreat for inpatient program, his/her family—a support network of family and friends— has the option to enroll for this add-on program for counseling twice a week and access to SOBER101® Resource Library, which offers video lessons and a library of informational materials. After the patient completes his/her inpatient program, the patient and family is able to continue with counseling once a week and SOBER101® access. Patient progress and counselor effectiveness will also becontinuously assessed and measured.
The bond between patients and therapists is a strong determinant of positive outcomes. eHome Aftercare counselors have a 91% satisfaction rate, and are key to our selection of this program. In addition, September is National Recovery Month, and we are thrilled to begin providing eHome Aftercare to coincide with such an important time of the year, said Schorr. eHome Aftercare helps Retreat expand the options from our already extremely successfulfamily education program, and quite frankly, I’ve never seen anything so quantifiable in our profession. I believe it is going to change lives and revolutionize our industry, particularly because we can now engage family from anywhere in the country into the treatment process from Day 1, said Chief Business Officer Deja Gilbert, PhD, LMHC, LPC, of Retreat Premier Addiction Treatment Centers.
For about the price of a typical therapy session, eHome Aftercare offers the necessary familial engagement many family members desire, but until this service was created, often, due to geographic proximities and/or limited travel options, some families were unable to participate in this vital patient experience of family engagement.
The concept behind eHome Aftercare consists of counseling by video and text at any time or place, so family members can meet from separate geographic locations if needed. Statistics say that 69% of people expressed a preference of videoconferencing over traditional onsite family visits. During these counseling sessions, anonymity is maintained and the patient and family do not need to miss work or school. This makes the program ideal for students, traveling professionals and those in rural areas.
The powerful combination of Retreat’s outstanding addiction treatment center and our family and aftercare counseling provides the highest probability of success in breaking the addiction cycle and allowing people to “Live Again!” said Brad Rex, President and CEO, eHome Aftercare.
