S trengthening I ndividuals and cultivating Tenacity at Lima UMADAOP
L ima UMADAOP offers programming based on the principle that preventing and treating substance abuse is most effective when cultural dynamics are acknowledged and inte- grated into the realms of prevention, treatment, recovery, and education. The perspective adopted perceives chemical depen- dency as a comprehensive ailment affecting the entirety of an in- dividual, encompassing physiological, psychological, social-cul- tural, and spiritual facets, all necessitating a holistic approach. Objective The central objective of the UMADAOPs is to deliver culturally tailored prevention services to Ohio’s African-American and Hispanic/Latino American communities. These preventive strategies encompass Information Sharing, Knowledge Dissemi- nation, Alternative Approaches, Issue Detection and Referral, as well as Communi- ty-Driven Processes and Environmental Approaches in line with guidelines by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). Moreover, Ohio’s UMADAOPs en- gage in programming designed to fulfill the four prevention objectives outlined by OhioMHAS. • To increase abstinence from alcohol and illicit drug use • To defer the onset of alcohol use • To eliminate high-risk use of alcohol and other legal drugs • To impact environmental “risk” factors in communities All programming activities are structured to provide a foundation to build and re- build positive, violence and substance free lifestyles, families and communities. This is achieved by increasing protective factors within the community and family do- mains. We Offer The Following Adult Services Screening: All participants will receive a S-Birt screening to determine the severity of substance use and identify the appropriate level of treatment. Services are directed to individuals who do not have severe withdrawal symptoms but whose medical and psychological conditions require a lower level of care to begin the recovery process, prevent relapse and improve the potential for sustained sobriety.
Inpatient Services: Inpatient programs are ideal for individuals with a high potential to relapse. Inpatient treatment, also referred to as residential treatment, provides the highest level of rehab services for clients diagnosed with alcohol or other drug addiction. Over 70% of our housing graduates continue to remain so- ber, be gainfully employed and live independently in the community. Outpatient Services: The Intensive Outpatient Pro- gram (IOP) and Non-Intensive Outpatient Program (NIOP) provide a structured, intensive level of care for treatment of adults with substance abuse disor- ders. Individuals receive information, assistance, sup- port and motivation that will allow them to maintain abstinence from alcohol and other drugs in individual and group sessions. (IOP) Intensive Outpatient Services: 13 week program minimum of 9 hrs per week services provided at least 3 to four 4 days per week (NIOP) Non-Intensive Outpatient Services: 13 week program minimum of 6 hrs per week services provided at least 2 days per week Medicated Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of medication, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a whole-patient approach to the treatment of substance use disorders. Research shows that when treating substance use dis- orders, a combination of medication and behavioral therapies is most successful. Additional Services: • Individual/Group Counseling: Clients meet individually and as part of a group with a licensed treatment professional to receive assis- tance in achieving treatment goals and objectives through the exploration of alcohol and other drug problems.
