Residential Treatment Services, Substance Abuse

Life Center of Galax provides an intensive and highly structured substance abuse treatment service in a residential facility, rather than inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. A comprehensive treatment plan is developed from an intensive assessment period during which the individual goes through detox and stabilization. Medical history and physical, nursing assessment, psychosocial interview, psychological testing, as needed, leisure, occupational and vocational reviews all occur during the first few days following admission. An independent family interview for co-lateral data is also completed if at all possible.
