Substance Use

Tellurian offers a full continuum of care for individuals in need of substance use disorder treatment. The Tellurian treatment team treats the whole person, recognizing that addiction and mental health disorders often co-occur and the simultaneous treatment of both is essential for effective treatment. Addiction treatment at Tellurian is based on evidence-based practice and individualized treatment planning.

Substance use disorder can be defined simply as a pattern of harmful use of any substance for mood-altering purposes. “Substances” can include alcohol and other drugs (legal or illegal) as well as some substances that are not drugs at all.

Tellurian specializes in substance use and chemical addiction treatment. But we know that people struggling with substance use and addiction often have accompanying mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress. So, we often integrate mental health counseling and appropriate psychiatric care into treatment. We call this approach dual diagnosis.

Tellurian’s board-certified addiction specialists, counselors, and clinical team firmly believe that every person has the ability to recover. Substance use disorder is a complex condition and since each person in treatment is unique, so is their path to recovery. With that understanding, treatment plans are designed for each individual using a variety of treatment modalities, including (but not limited to) individual and group therapy, spiritual care groups, holistic healing, and specialized counseling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Stages of Change, Behavioral Modification, Relapse Prevention, and Forgiveness Therapy can also be included in an individual’s treatment plan. Yoga, exercise, Expressive Art, Lifestyle Balance and pharmacological treatment are used when appropriate. In addition, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Smart Recovery are optional meetings available to all patients.

Recovery from a substance use disorder is possible. Tellurian’s dedicated team is ready to help you, or your loved one, find a path to recovery that will restore hope for a life well lived. Call today for a complimentary screening, 608-222-7311.

WHAT IS AN "ASSESSMENT"

The process of treatment begins with a phone call by you, an affected family member or loved one, requesting an assessment. Tellurian does not automatically assume a diagnosis of alcoholism, addiction or other problems, without first conducting an assessment and evaluation by one of the center’s highly trained and certified staff.

When you call, you will speak with an Admissions Counselor who will guide you through a brief, confidential telephone assessment, followed by an appointment with a counselor. Once the assessment is completed, and if treatment is recommended, the counselor will determine the most appropriate level of care based on the individual needs of the patient.
