Multidisciplinary Treatment Team and Individual Care

Each Executive patient is assigned a multidisciplinary treatment team made up of Caron's most experienced and highly credentialed staff. These individuals are leaders in their disciplines, which includes:

• A Medical Board Certified physician with a wealth of expertise and training in addiction medicine who also specializes in treating co-existing addiction and chronic pain.
• Certified addiction counselors who specialize in the treatment of co-occurring mental health disorders, addiction interaction disorders (AID), experiential counseling techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), rational emotive therapy; and have experience with cultural diversity
• Our Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who holds a master’s degree and is certified in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), oversees our family education program.
• Our Director of Spiritual Care who holds a Master of Divinity and MBA
• Health and wellness experts comprised of certified personal trainers and a certified nutritionist

The team works extensively with the patient and their family to perform several different evaluations, then collaboratively design an individual and integrative treatment plan based on the patient's goals, their substance use history, co-existing medical conditions, and other factors including any co-occurring disorders, process addictions or other problems.

Key Elements of the Executive Program

• Rehab location & amenities.  While a part of the Caron Pennsylvania treatment campus, the Executive Program provides a separate building, the Grandview Mansion for treatment programming. As well as cottage-like residences, at Harmony House, which serve as living quarters. Both buildings are situated in a secluded area of Caron’s campus with pristine views; upholding the goal of providing discretion to the patients and their families that we treat.
• Individual and group counseling seven days per week, facilitated by our integrated behavioral health team
• Individualized Family Programming that utilizes experiential group therapy where patients and family members will experience and practice healthy communication. We approach interactions with Executive families with the same discretion and sensitivity to privacy and lifestyle differentiators as their loved ones. Learn more about the Executive's Family Program
• Integrated Professional Programming, which includes the ability to participate in professional groups and programming throughout the week, as well as individual sessions with staff experienced in the treatment of professionals and executives, legal professionals, and specialty treatment programming to process work integration and recovery.
• Educational lectures, facilitated by our integrated behavioral health team, focus on such topics as:
  
  • The high functioning addict/alcoholic
  • Blind spots in recovery
  • Coping skills
  • Work integration
  • Consequences
  • Anger & resentments
  • Defense mechanisms
  • Sober support systems
  • Spirituality
• Technology-enabled care: Passport is a custom-developed, interactive mobile and web app adorned with Caron’s nationally recognized therapeutic protocols. Using an internet-connected tablet and unique applications, Passport gives addiction counselors, multi-disciplinary treatment teams and patients the opportunity to communicate easily and tailor the patient’s content, schedule and responses to his or her needs. In addition to Passport, executive patients will have cell phone and computer privileges as clinically indicated or appropriate, with Wifi access available during designated times and locations.
• Health and wellness activities and programs, such as:
  • Weekly massages and medical massages for patients suffering from chronic pain
  • Yoga and mindfulness meditation
  • Daily gym time and access to our on-site, state-of-the art fitness center with a full-size basketball court and separate exercise room
  • Access to our certified, on-site personal trainers who will work with you to establish a personalized fitness and wellness plan
• Integration of Sober Passes, when clinically appropriate and warranted, to accommodate pressing business issues. Caron can provide transportation, a sober support companion and monitoring when an executive patient must return to home or work to conduct business. Of utmost importance and a top priority is our patient’s recovery; therefore, sober passes are provided on a case-by-case basis. There are additional costs associated with this service, which are the responsibility of the patient.
• Continuing Care Planning. Evidence-based research shows that long-term recovery is best accomplished with structured support following treatment, which encourages accountability, building self-esteem and involving the family. Throughout treatment, a patient’s treatment team will work together to create an individualized continuing care plan. Such components of one’s plan may include joining Caron’s My First Year of Recovery, a private and interactive platform.  Individuals enrolled in the program are given a personalized post-treatment roadmap to help patients and their families navigate the challenges of maintaining sobriety in early recovery.

Length of Stay

Executive patients have distinct goals for treatment.  For that reason, the Executive Program is customized to include varying lengths, with the understanding that our mission is to provide each person with the treatment they need – mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually – to achieve and sustain a life of recovery.
