Fairbanks has developed various phases of substance abuse and addiction care which allow for maximum flexibility in structure and intensity of services. Each level of care assists the adolescent in making the connection between life problems and their use of drugs and/or alcohol.
The treatment process at all levels involves a multidisciplinary treatment team which includes physicians, nurses and counselors. Initial intake evaluations are completes to determine the level of care needed for stabilization and treatment. The treatment team meets with patient , family, and other involved parties to determine the severity of the disease and the level of intensity of services.
For many, Fairbanks is the first step towards a new life and new hope. It's a life that is better not just for the individual, but also for their families, co-workers and their communities.
INPATIENT
Detoxification / Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation care is designed to provide medically managed care and evaluation. This is the most structured level of treatment for adolescents and the focus is on medical and psychological stabilization. During this phase, comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluations are completes and a care plan is developed. When the physician determines medical management is no longer required, the adolescent may transfer to a less intensive level of care.
Adolescent Residential Services
Residential services are designed for individuals no longer requiring daily medical management but still needing a structured environment in order to abstain from using alcohol and other drugs. The primary treatment method is group therapy and the focus at this stage is on early recovery issues.
Adolescent Partial Hospitalization
Partial hospitalization allows the individual to experience life on the "outside" while being involved in a very intense level of treatment. The adolescent must have a supportive living environment, be able to remain drug free and have daily transportation to be admitted to this level of care.
