Help for Alabama Residents with Addiction

Foundations Recovery Network (FRN) is committed to providing treatment for those who suffer from the disease of addiction. Our dual diagnosis approach to treatment has been proven as a key to successful recovery. Through our co-occurring clinical and psychological treatment coupled with our residential and outpatient treatment programs, clients suffering from substance abuse and mental health issues ranging from anxiety and depression to bi-polar and PTSD are finding the strength to end addiction and begin a new healthy life in recovery.

Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders

FRN specializes in the treatment of co-occurring disorders with our comprehensive treatment model, which has been tested and proven through 11 federally-funded research studies. This model demonstrated twice the success rate for continuing sobriety one year post-treatment compared to the national average of traditional programs.

The Foundations Recovery Network Difference

FRN specializes in the treatment of co-occurring disorders with our proven, comprehensive treatment model, which has been tested and proven through 11 federally-funded research studies. This model demonstrated twice the success rate for continuing sobriety one year post-treatment compared to the national average of traditional programs.

We attribute our success to our approach, which includes:

• Trained Staff – Our entire team is taught to deliver evidence-based practices of care through classroom and applied studies.
• Integrated Treatment – All behavioral health and addictions needs can be addressed in one setting, with a team of experts including psychiatrists, social workers, nurses and licensed alcohol and drug counselors each lending their expertise.
• Client Directed Treatment – Clients are treated as partners in, rather than subjects of, the recovery process. As such, they are encouraged to determine the pace, goals and course of treatment.
• Motivational Approaches – Our clinical staff is trained to use motivational enhancement strategies to engage clients. This field-tested method of implementing client directed services maximizes client engagement and avoids use of outdated confrontational strategies.
• Client Recovery Workbook Series – A proprietary product developed by us based upon evidence-based practices and our own experiences in treatment, these workbooks provide clients with comprehensive integrated information about how to maximize their recovery experience.

There is a difference when it comes to treatment programs, and no program has been proven more compassionate, flexible or effective. With a highly experienced and caring staff, comprehensive treatment facilities and a long-term commitment to helping those with drug and alcohol addictions, FRN provides a full scope of services to meet the needs of persons with co-occurring conditions. Combining our research-based innovations with emerging evidence-based practices, we offer some of the lowest dropout rates in the industry.

For many, pursuing detox and substance abuse treatment far from home can provide a clean slate with fewer distractions. We are a national company with programs across several states. Our residential treatment facilities include The Canyon, Michael’s House and La Paloma Treatment Center.

For those not in need of residential care, our primary outpatient program, Foundations Atlanta, offers comprehensive care without the need to be away from home.

Alabama’s Drug Abuse Problem

Known for its scenic Gulf Shore region and its key role in the Civil Rights Movement, Alabama has much to offer. It also has a drug abuse problem. There are approximately 294,000 Alabama residents who admitted to a dependence on or abuse of illicit drugs or alcohol in the past year, according to the latest National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Of those who were drug- or alcohol-dependent, 93,000 needed but did not receive treatment.

An Ongoing Problem

Many of the illicit drugs used in Alabama come from out of state, but homegrown marijuana, locally manufactured meth and other designer drugs are also an issue. Marijuana may account for most of the drug arrests in the state, but cocaine and crack pose a more serious threat, due to their highly addictive properties. Alabama’s proximity to Atlanta and Miami, which are major trafficking hubs, also plays a role in the state’s drug woes. Heroin hasn’t been a significant issue in recent years, but use is increasing as purer product is available at a lower cost. Alabama is also seeing an alarming rise in the use and distribution of club drugs like Ecstasy (MDMA), LSD and GHB. Prescription addiction is also a growing problem throughout the state, with painkillers like Vicodin, OxyContin and Xanax being very popular for misuse.
