Oxford Treatment Center Enhances Addiction Care Availability
Oxford Treatment Center is excited to announce the launch of its new evening intensive outpatient program (IOP), designed specifically for those in Southaven seeking flexible addiction care. This initiative addresses a crucial gap in services for individuals juggling daytime obligations, such as work or school, that may prevent them from attending traditional treatment hours. With over 80% of those needing addiction treatment leaving it unaddressed, this program is a timely and necessary response to growing community needs.
An Evening Program for Better Accessibility
The new evening IOP will operate from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. This timing allows participants to access essential support without having to compromise their daytime responsibilities. It represents a significant shift towards making addiction treatment more accessible for all community members.
Community Introduction Events
To kick off this innovative program, Oxford Treatment Center will host a public meet-and-greet event at its Southaven facility. Scheduled for an evening in early October, this gathering will feature therapists Dr. Kattrina Miller-Roach and Verlon Green, encouraging community members to connect with the team and learn about available resources.
Tackling Barriers to Treatment
Paige Havens, the Executive Director of the center, emphasized the urgent need for diverse treatment options for those struggling with addiction. She highlighted that numerous individuals in the community face barriers that hinder their access to necessary treatment. With the introduction of the evening IOP, Oxford Treatment Center aims to reduce these barriers and provide everyone a path to recovery. "Far too many lives in our community are being cut short by a disease that can be treated," added Havens, stressing the importance of flexibility in care.
Expanding Care Network
Another vital enhancement of service availability comes from the facility's partnership with Blue Cross, Blue Shield (BCBS). The Oxford Treatment Center is now in-network for all BCBS policies, which is a major benefit for clients who require coverage for their treatments. This helps eliminate financial obstacles that often deter individuals from seeking care.
Understanding Intensive Outpatient Care
Intensive outpatient treatment is particularly beneficial for those who have previously engaged in more intensive levels of care, such as detox or residential programs. It provides continued support while allowing patients to maintain a semblance of normalcy in their daily lives. Those who have a stable home environment and do not require 24-hour supervision are ideal candidates for the evening IOP.
Expert Team Leading the Program
Michael McCallum, the Outpatient Coordinator, shared his enthusiasm about the skilled therapists leading the evening program. Their extensive experience in addiction treatment ensures a knowledgeable and supportive environment for participants. He invites community members to explore these new options for recovery and emphasizes the importance of the ongoing support the center offers.
Join the Movement Toward Recovery
Oxford Treatment Center remains committed to being a beacon of hope for individuals facing addiction challenges. Their holistic approach encompasses various treatments tailored to the unique needs of each client, ensuring that every individual receives the care necessary for effective recovery. Those interested in learning more about the evening IOP or other services can reach out to the facility directly.
